Re: Parachute Payments...
last season or the season before I believe we received £80k (the figure is on here somewhere but I cant be arsed searching on my mobile) because ONE team went straight back up. The money will have increased since then with the new TV deal negotiated, and two teams have gone up.
But regardless of how much it is, we are right to have a low budget. This club simply has to pay its own way and within the limits its' crowds dictate. If that means we get relegated then que sera, its been a blast. If we can continue to punch above our weight then even better. Facilities and infrastructure come before a swquad for mne every time. EW thought different, and more power to him for it, but it caught up with us eventually and almost left us with an extra shopping day.
