EFl haven’t agreed a deal yet. There may be more to come for us.If you keep a fairly L1 playing budget with Championship revenue share you can only be millions of pounds better off. Wycombe will come straight back down but will make a huge profit - it’s a unique position that only the three teams going into the Championship this season will find themselves in, and none of them are burdened with the financial overheads that your average Championship club has. They’re going in there with L1 overheads and Championship revenue shares.
Any forthcoming ‘bailout’ sums for those in L1 won’t be half the money you get for simply being in the Championship for a season, and it’ll be money that needs paying back (at least partially) rather than it being a form of prize money that’s yours, if you will. They’re incomparable payments.
EDIT: And that’s before you even get to the salary cap benefits, where even if (when) any of the promoted clubs come straight back down to L1 next season, their wage bill is calculated using the divisional average. Meaning they have an advantage over other L1 clubs, as well as more money in their pocket which isn’t any form of loan, if they want to invest in their playing squad.

Just under £7m for simply being a Championship club for one season. A basic award of around £2.3m plus a solidarity payment of £4.5m. Approximately £6.8million.What are the payments?
Surely he's got problems bringing people in because of the wage cap, squad size etc.Appleton with another decent signing from Leeds. A player we was very much interested in.
The player from Leeds is 20 and on loan so under the age rules and probably cheap.Surely he's got problems bringing people in because of the wage cap, squad size etc.

Well it appears some clubs are going for it, looks like we’re not.Not cheap, a lot of clubs were after him and a few pulled out due to the costs involved if rumours are true.

Winnall, Taylor, Brannagan, Clare etc are all on buttons with crisps as a bonus should it be required.
Really does put into stark focus how much we blew it. And people saying its better we stayed down! In football you play to win and play better teams..else theres just no point.Just under £7m for simply being a Championship club for one season. A basic award of around £2.3m plus a solidarity payment of £4.5m. Approximately £6.8million.
League One teams get a basic award of approximately £730,000 and a solidarity payment of around £675,000. Approximately £1.4million.
So a difference of nearly £5.5m in cash, yours to keep, without a ball being kicked.
Championship clubs also get more frequent television fixtures, which are paid at a much higher rate versus L1 fixtures. A Championship game gets a facility fee of between £100,000-£150,000 depending on the day of the week it’s played. L1 is around £30,000. You’re lucky if you get on telly once per season in L1, whereas in the Championship even the smallest clubs will generally appear several times. So you’re probably looking at a quarter of a million quid a year extra there, to go full on ‘fag packet’ with it.
The deal being offered to L1 and L2 clubs which has been rejected was for approximately £1m cash per club, with more than 50% of that being an interest free loan, but still a loan that will need repaying.
Even if there is a fresh offer where the figures are doubled, you’re looking at a maximum of £1m cash as a ‘gift’ for a L1 team, plus another £1m loan that in turn becomes a debt.
You’re still a good few million pounds short of a season in the Championship, with a salary cap and squad restriction in effect for good measure.

He just seems to have recruited an army, although with age, under 21 he can have as many as he wants within reason, unless there is a limit.The player from Leeds is 20 and on loan so under the age rules and probably cheap.
But why would we spend decent wages on a 20 year old rb and midfielder?Well it appears some clubs are going for it, looks like we’re not.

In January we were pushing to the wire for Will Grigg, Stephen O'Donnell and a couple of youngsters. They didn't go through but it wasn't through lack of trying.It look like we won’t be
Other than (hopefully) Winnall, have we had an upgrade in any position at the club from last season’s team?

Hard to make a case that we’ve done anything than go backwards. That maybe the harsh reality of our finances and that of football in general. It’s a good group of players with some real quality sprinkled in, but it’s going to take a very unlikely 26 hours to get near to last season’s level. I think our expectations should be set accordingly.
