£30000 windfall for accrington
 

Birmingham city immediate return to the premier league means they will not collect their second parachute payment from the premier league instead the £11.2m is paid to the teams they are leaving behind with championship teams receiving £400,000 each and smaller pay outs for league one clubs who get £50,000 each and league two clubs getting £30,000 each.

Re: £30000 windfall for accrington
 

So, if Reading go up via play-offs, do we get more?????

Re: £30000 windfall for accrington
 

As I said in another thread, lets support Reading through to the Play off final and hope they win. We'll have enough to buy Keiran Charnock from Peterborough without having to tax Liz too much with the 50/50 draw

:mosher:

Re: £30000 windfall for accrington
 

Yes Ozzy, just seen the other post.... Cheers. Where does that information - £30K - come from????

Re: £30000 windfall for accrington
 

I know Birmingham don't get the second parachute payment, but I didn't know it was spread out amongst the football league teams including leagues one and two. If true, it will be very nice for the club. Perhaps on the FA or FL websites? Maybe someone will link it soon

Re: £30000 windfall for accrington
 

Just had a quick scout around, but cannot find anything. Maybe it's just common knowledge as it will have happened before....

Re: £30000 windfall for accrington
 

It was in the sun newspaper

Re: £30000 windfall for accrington
 

would have been more credible if it was in the "Dandy":D

Re: £30000 windfall for accrington
 

Thanks for that.. :) Can't wait for Baggy to see this...:D:D

Re: £30000 windfall for accrington
 

I suppose people who support Sheffield Wednesday and Accrington Stanley now have two more reasons to be happy that it was Birmingham who clinched the second automatic promotion spot as opposed to another team whose parachute payments would have lapsed at the end of this season.

Please if you buy The Scum would you consider purchasing another daily paper.:mad:

Re: £30000 windfall for accrington
 

Or we send the boys round.;)

Re: £30000 windfall for accrington
 

Whats the Dandy?

Re: £30000 windfall for accrington
 

I buy the daily star better and cheaper the sun was robbed off a united fan...:D

Re: £30000 windfall for accrington
 

No excuse for reading it though, if I go in a shop that sells the scum I put a bundle of Daily Stars or Mirrors on top in the hope a scum reader will think there are none and buy something else.:)

Re: £30000 windfall for accrington
 

Been told today by some chap at work, that if Reading go back up that there will not be any more payments made :confused: Something to do with the length of time that Reading/Birmingham have spent in the Premiership?? I have tried to find out more but cannot, I am thinking of buying The Sun to find out more...:rolleyes:;) Only joking :) If anybody can find out anymore could they please post any links on this thread - cheers :):)

Re: £30000 windfall for accrington
 

This might help ;

The main payment from the Premier League, which restores after a 15-year absence some sharing between the top flight and the rest, will be £11.2m per season. That, divided among all the Football League's clubs, is the same as the Premier League's three relegated clubs will each receive as a "parachute payment". If one of those clubs is promoted straight back up, the £11.2m it would have had as a parachute payment for the following season will now also be shared among the Football League's other clubs. If two clubs bounce back, the Premier League will keep the other spare parachute payment. Only if all three clubs bounce back, which has never happened, will the Football League share two of the following season's spare parachute payments.
