Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted May 5, 2011 £42m + £25,000 for 2nd£42m + £50,000 for 1st The £42m is the money earned from achieving 20th in the Premier League next year, which is the lowest Norwich could finish (there would also be 4 years of parachute payments after that totalling about £42m, so 1 year in the Premier is worth, at least, roughly £90m) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e10_yellow 0 Posted May 5, 2011 Prize money is £25k more for winning the league or something like that. Really not that big a deal given the wider ''prize'' on offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter2704 0 Posted May 5, 2011 It''s £42million for any club that goes up, minimum. This is the prize money for the team that finishes bottom of the Prem. I seem to remember, we got something like £25,000 for winning the Championship before! I know it''s pittance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so it just goes to show how doubly difficult promotion will be next year.Yes it''s nice to be back amongst the big boys again, but seriously how is throwing all this money at relegated teams making for a level playing field? I''m not sure what it all proves/achieves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
