It's going to be difficult for him in England now. It was quite obvious he could well struggle in the Championship before the season started. The only reason Southampton are out of the bottom 3 is the 3 sides below them are an utter shambles.

It would take a brave or desperate side to take him on at this level again without more experience here.

What happens with parachute payments when a team is relegated after a season in Championship, like Luton. Surely it’s not still paid, just thinking about Southampton for example.

Luton still got a payment this season,

I thought you only get 1 yr parachute payment if you are relegated from the Prem in the 1st year?

You get two. If you were in it for more than a season you get three

I think if you get relgated in successive seasons (like Luton) then you should be forced to spend the money on actual parachutes.

All this will lead to is the owners of Big Parachute Inc taking over clubs to get them double relegated

Incorrect. If you go down successively parachute payments stop:

If a club gets relegated again, it will stop receiving Premier League parachute payments because it is no longer a recently relegated club from the top flight. The club must then adjust to life in the Championship with only the standard league solidarity payments it receives from the Premier League, not the parachute payments.


What happens to the payments

• Payments are a one-off: Parachute payments are a three-year sliding scale to ease a club's transition back to the Championship after being relegated from the Premier League.
• Relegation ends payments: Since the payments are only for clubs that have just been relegated, a club relegated for a second time in a row will not receive any further parachute payments.

I don’t know where this is from, but it conflicts with what Luton themselves stated this summer. They will get £40 million this season.

I think that is because they don't get parachute payments until after the 1st season eg, if Ipswich are promoted this season they won't get any parachute payment but if they aren't promoted they will

Sure, but the post I replied to said you don’t get another payment if you’re relegated successively. That doesn’t seem to be correct.

 

[shmmeee]

Stopping them would make no sense. The entire point is to cover PL wage contracts that might last 3-4 years.

Equally, clubs should cut their cloth accordingly.

Most team will have relegation clauses and all the parachute payments do in practice is to subsidise the relegated teams to corner the market on EFL talent. It is anti-competitive.

It goes without saying, I’d be fuming if we got promoted and the next season parachute payments were abolished.

That is the 1st payment they will get so it is not another payment. I am not sure that they won't still receive them when they are in L1, unless the rules have changed I am sure Sunderland received parachute payments when they went straight down to L1.

Right, you haven’t read the link I posted. They said they got £49m for last season and will get £40m for this one.

I have read it now & it seems to disprove that clubs don't get them when they are in L1

It’s never happened under the current setup, but if you had a club in the top flight for two seasons then suffer three consecutive relegations, they’d be collecting about £10 million in L2.

 

[steve cooper]

I don't know how reliable this website is, but they say Luton will get their second year parachute payment plus a further 4.5M solidarity payment

Oh we should scrap parachute payments and force club to sell or put relegation clauses in. I’m just saying if you’ve got them it would make no sense to remove them because a team went to L1. They’d still have the same issue if not more with PL contracts they’d have in the Championship.

I wonder how many thousand will be on the stream when they dig out the white seats to put in FRASERS.

 

[steve cooper]

Just looking at the form tables and surprisingly Middlesbrough are;
10th in the last 10
11th in the last 8
15th in the last 6
10th in the last 4
Over the same amount of games Hull and Millwall are never out of the top 3.

 

[Briles]

I watched them against Derby and they do create chances. They're just shit defensively
