Now playoffs have been confirmed, who do you want promoted whether you like to see them in Prem or just sick of playing them and want gone?
Leeds
Southampton
West Brom
Norwich
Leeds or Saints. The less clubs with parachute money in the division next season the better for us. WBA are in a very precarious financial state - if they don't go up they are in deep deep trouble - so, without wishing ill on them, better they are in our division after selling all their players and probably hit with a points deduction.
S'funyy, if not annoying, that after Oxford snotted us in that pre-season friendly I got on my phone and looked to put a tenner on them going up but none of the betting apps on my phone had any odds for that so I didn't bother pursuing it.
Was a bit of a meltdown on here after that friendly but I was more "get over it, its a meaningless friendly and no more than a training exercise" however in hindsight it was a stark example of how much the team and Ainsworth were off the pace.
It would be nice if all relegated teams went up so it minimises the number of teams with parachute money to those only coming down. Ipswich messed that up this season.
From what I can see the following still have parachute money
Hopefully we can go up next season, but if not it would be great to see this seasons relegated teams going back up. That would only leave the new three down plus only one other with boosted income. Perhaps it would be better if Luton stayed down as they might use their sky money on a new stadium?
It will ve great to see Watford and Norwich run out of that money from 25/26
Surely Watford and Norwich aren't getting any??? They came down ages ago after only one season in top flight (I have burnt my bonce in the sun today so maybe my memory is scrambled!).
Plus the three coming down won't get 3 seasons will they after just one season in prem?

Yep, 3 seasons even if only 1 year in the Prem. It reduces each year but still exists for 3 years. Watford and Norwich still have 1 year left.

Abs's comments did make me question the three year rule and I do seem to remember something about shorter payment periods if teams only lasted one season in the prem. But I couldn't find anything on the Interweb about it? Perhaps only duscussed at one stage but never put in place?
It does put those promoted at a disadvantage because they're less likely to invest to try and stay there, but that would suit the bigger teams though $$$$$$
I feel 90% certain that teams need to stay in the prem for more than one season to qualify for the third year of parachute money.
Several years ago it was ridiculous and often there'd be 6, 7 or even 8 teams in the Championship getting parachute money. A combination of the rule tweak and same teams going up and down means it looks a bit better next season.
With another season of Championship football looking likely, the end of parachute payments and less star players to sell, the club have tough times…
