Thread | Parachute Payments
at 14:28 3 Feb 2022
With the obvious skewing of the Championship due to parachute payments I've been wondering whether there is an alternative. There must be an argument to not having them at all given huge amounts of money that clubs receive in the Premier League.
As I understand it the point of the parachute payments are to protect clubs that have to spend large amounts of money to be competitive in the top tier should they get relegated. Do they HAVE to spend the money? Probably, otherwise the 3 that go up will nearly always be the ones to come down.
Rather than giving a fixed amount to a relegated club could the payments be tied into the contracts of the players they have? For a contract that is signed when a PL club the PP will cover x% for the remainder of the contract. If the player leaves then they no longer get that payment. In the current set up, if Leeds get relegated, they'll most likely sell Raphinha and get a large payment but they'll also get PP to help cover his wages.
You can probably tell I'm far from an expert, so I expect that there are many holes in my logic. |
