rjwc22 0 Posted May 7, 2009 With Brum back up at the first attempt, their £11.2m parachute is to be split amongst the rest of the championship. Does anyone know if we are eligible for this or if it is payable to the team in the champ next season (which I think will be the case)?If so this is another £400k relegation has robbed us of. Could have bought Alan Lee for that.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Official Joe 0 Posted May 7, 2009 Yes I just read this. So damn frustrating! Makes the whole situation we are in feel just that little bit more sour.Full quote from BBC -Championship clubs will enjoy a £400,000 windfall followingBirmingham''s immediate return to the Premier League. By winningpromotion at the first attempt, the Blues do not collect their secondparachute payment of £11.2m and that money will now be split betweenthe other teams. (Various)Personal thought is that as it''s next season''s parachute money and Brum up next season it will cover the clubs in the Championship next year so sadly not us.Could have paid Doncaster''s wages for the day.

@NYCANARIES 0 Posted May 7, 2009 TV money down from 2.9 million (new bbc deal) to 400k in League One and now this. We are at 3 million in losses already before we even consider discounted tickets and away revenue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
