Canaries Utd 0 Posted May 10, 2010 The Football League will hold an emergency meeting at Walsall''s Banks''s Stadium on Monday to try to resolve a dispute over the money clubs receive.If agreement cannot be reached, fears will grow that the Championship could form a break-away division. It is understood the Premier League will stop all solidarity payments if the 72 clubs reject a new £400m package for the next three seasons. Obviously having just left the football league, i am of course very grateful to have gained promotion, but as stated previuosly in other posts, its in the leagues where we have found true footballing clubs/fans. If this did happen it would be the begining of the end of the football league for sure [:(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted May 10, 2010 The league clubs should all stick together and resist an extension of parachute payments to clubs relegated from the premiership. This gives thoseclubs such an unfairadvantage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willmeister 35 Posted May 10, 2010 I hope The Football League does break away from The Premiership. That league has ruined English football and put the vast majority of the 92 clubs in huge financial difficulties. I am still embarrassed that we were one of the founding members of it. In the end the Premiership needs the Football League more than the Football League needs them. With no relegation in The Prem there will be nothing to lose for teams and people will get bored when the title is either won by Manure or Chelski. The Prem has held English football to ransom for too long and it has to end soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And with clubs in League One set to get £325,000 instead of £100,000 and League Two clubs to recieve £250,000 not £72,000 I can see a lot of them being swayed towards doing a deal. It''s not like many of them will ever be too concered about what is happening at the top of the Championship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They feel that currently the best finish they could ever achieve is bottom three of the Championship. Apparently only one Championship club rejected the idea.

Penfold 0 Posted May 10, 2010 The Football League should introduce handicapping for clubs relegated from the Premiership. Starting clubs receiving parachute payments on minus fifteen points would allow them to stay in business, but would take away their competitive advantage.

The reason for this is that the League have voted against a proposal to split the "solidarity money" from the Prem (money divided between the 72 clubs) 80%-12%-8% in favour of the Championship. The Champ was outvoted by League 1 and 2 and they''ve gone off in a strop.If this breakaway happens it''s only a matter of time before we get a two tier Prem with no relegation from Prem 2. It will be the death of League 1 and 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
