John B Posted 7 May, 2009 Share Posted 7 May, 2009 Championship clubs according to the BBC will enjoy a £400,000 windfall following Birmingham's immediate return to the Premier League. By winning promotion at the first attempt, the Blues do not collect their second parachute payment of £11.2m and that money will now be split between the other teams. I suppose that is another £400000 we have missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancake Posted 7 May, 2009 Share Posted 7 May, 2009 So if we had waited until the end of the season we could have avoided administration, yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie Charteris Posted 7 May, 2009 Share Posted 7 May, 2009 So if we had waited until the end of the season we could have avoided administration, yeah? It depends, I suppose, on when the funds are distributed. Is it this season or at the start of next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skintsaint Posted 7 May, 2009 Share Posted 7 May, 2009 im sure we should qualify as the prize is for this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints_is_the_south Posted 7 May, 2009 Share Posted 7 May, 2009 I'd have thought we wouldn't be included. It's for next seasons parachute payment, we won't be in the CCC next season so i doubt we'll receive anything. If we are in line to receive it though lets all hope Reading go up too as they'll be in the same boat as Birmingham with regards to parachute payment.

Rocker268 Posted 7 May, 2009 Share Posted 7 May, 2009 I think we should recieve it because Brum have gone up this season, therefore it is the teams they have played that should benefit. But my gut feeling is that because the payment would be FOR next season it is next seasons teams that will benefit Does anyone know if we get parachute payments for going down to L1 at all, or is it whishful thinking?
