Parachute payments

[Medwayseagull]

When the new arrangements were put in place at the end of 2010/11 to extend the payments from two to four years does anyone know whether that was backdated to include clubs relegated from the Premier League in the previous two seasons ?

Looking at TBs recent comments about the size of our playing budget I was trying to work out which clubs, now in the Championship, are still getting the payments.

Yes, they were backdated.

This year's parachute payments :

Bolton( 16m year 1, 16m yr 2, 8m yr 3, 8m yr 4)
Blackburn( 16m, 16m, 8m, 8m)
Wolves( 16m, 16m, 8m, 8m)
Birmingham( 16m, 8m, 8m)
Blackpool( 16m, 8m, 8m)
Burnley( 8m, 8m)
Hull City( 8m, 8m)

[ Lower League Portsmouth( 8m, 8m) ]

If they were backdated, then surely...

Middlesbrough £8m?

Sickening.

Just goes to show that you can't confuse financial fair play as defined by the Football League with a level playing field.

It really is a case of the haves have more and the have nots can go hang!
