Clubs query new parachute payments
DERBY County and other Championship clubs have asked the Football League to come up with a range of options on parachute payments after expressing concern that clubs relegated from the Premier League will have too great a financial advantage.
The concerns were expressed at a meeting of the 24 second-tier clubs yesterday after they were presented with the Premier League's proposals for parachute payments to be £23m for the first year after relegation.
-
Clubs in the Championship not receiving parachute payments would get only £2.3m.
The increase in parachute payments from £16m is because of the rise in the Premier League's TV rights from 2013-16 – and it effectively decides on the level it pays.

The proposals is for relegated clubs to receive £23m in the first year, £18m in the second and £9m in years three and four. It would mean a possible total of £59m over four years compared with the maximum now of £48m.

“BlacknWhite Just stick to your usual relegation fight and leave the big boys to sort out the promotion places, as you have probably noticed KING BILLY is back.”

“@creweram1 - in a well run club they do/would except some of these overpaid footballers would not sign for you if the contract was written like that. Clubs pay as the rewards for sucess (and failure) are so high.”

“Plus you've completely missed the point of why clubs are complaining, you moron.
Clubs who go up (and come down) wouldn't complain about the size of parachute payments (except to make them bigger!)... it's everyone else who will be asking for a level playing field...and i'll bet Forest are one of them”

“Rednight et al - why are you here?
If I'm not mistaken you've not achieved anything yet and have actually been relegated to Div2 quite recently?
If you're here every day just for pointless put downs that aren't always grounded with common sense, then please don't.
I've stuck up for forest on here to the more brainless Derby fans so please afford the rest of us the same courtesy.
If you're here to simply put ibeleiveido in his place, then feel free :-)”

“I dont know what Direby are so concerned about parachute payments for, first of all you have to get into the play-offs then you have to win the play-offs or get promoted automatically, as you have never been in the top two or in the play-off positions since clueless Clough arrived it wont really concern you unless next season you are going to try and break a habit of a lifetime and not be involved in a relegation fight.”

“As usual huge rewards for failure, why can't contracts be performance related ?, if you drop a league your wages drop.”
