Parachute Payments



It concluded clubs receiving parachute payments were three times more likely to be promoted than other clubs.

This is the bit that the people who "don't want to go up" fail to understand. You have to get on that money train, even if you come back down quickly.

Parachute Payments should be reduced for every 10m you make in player sales

Parachute payments should be scrapped all together. It's giving the relegated clubs a huge unfair advantage over the rest of the league and why should they be rewarded for failure?

Clubs should have relegation clauses in the player's contract to either accept a pay cut or contracts be terminated if they are relegated.

we must have had our fair share, and possibly would of went to financial ruin without it, just because the teams coming down have better assets to sell on isn't their fault. If we were ran properly to start with we wouldn't have landed in the positions we were.

anyway all if's and but's. We are where we are and i'm happy with how things are progressing.

How the fuck is it irrelevant like 😂😂😂

Wasn’t a problem when we were getting them but now it is.

Sound
 
Any fairer system is impossible to put in place whilst the premier league is divorced from the EFL. One league would allow prize money to be distributed with equal increments down all the 92 teams and hence make the need for parachute payments unnecessary. It would also hopefully prevent teams risking insolvency in chasing the dream of premiership gold.
 
Always thought it would be better off used for paying a percentage of a relegated clubs wages for a period of time or when a player contract ends whichever is first, so say 30% is covered. will stop clubs having load of cash to splash out on new players and wages which is affecting the competition integrity
 
So prior to this season, only 10 teams in Championship history had won 66 points or more after 32 games.

Leicester (78 points), Leeds (69), Southampton (67) and in fairness Ipswich (66) all surpassing that in just one season.

Any guesses as to what 3 teams have the highest wage bills in the league, all sustained with the use of parachute payments?

1) Leicester - £60m
2) Southampton - £40m
3) Leeds - £39m

The next closest is £24m FFS :lol:

If Ipswich keep going at their current rate, they're going to end up with one of the highest points totals in Championship history and still have no chance of going up automatically because they are competing against 3 PL clubs in all but name.

The system now allows relegated teams to sustain a PL level squad and wage bill in the Championship and has long since jumped the shark in terms of what they were originally intended for.

It's in need of a serious revamp, just and because our parachute payments were abused close to a decade ago doesn't change that fact before people start.

Can't believe I'm defending Leicester but you have to judge their finances with their transfer business. They sold over £100M worth of players when relegated and brought in £44M worth so that netted them £60M that could be used before parachute payments were needed. Southampton sold £102M and only brought in £21.5M. Leeds sold and bought the same approximate amounts. And this is the real problem. Clubs have big, expensive squads in the EPL so can sell one or two on relegation but maintain their overall quality without even touching parachute payments. Whereas the rest of us are lucky to sell one big player but then have to revert to charity shop purchases and hope their value increases.
