Was reading about this a couple of weks ago, how the payments to clubs relegated from the Premiership are set to rise next season.
This didn't sem that important until the late run of Bolton into a position whhere they could get into the play-ofs. So what I want to know is:
Presumably Bolton, Wolves and Blackburn get payments this season. But if Bolton actualy got promoted via the play-offs (God forbid) would they STILL get the 2nd and 3rd year payments even though they are back in the Loadsamoney league? And if they don't what happens to that money?
It sems to me that any money which initially is allocated to a club which is relegated and then (benefiting no doubt from the first or second slugs) gets back up again, should instead be distributed across al the other clubs in the Chamionship afterwards. In other words Bolton's money would be allocated for the next two seasons across the opther teams which didn't make it.
Is this how it works? If not, how?
