Been rejected. Even Barry Fry looks perturbed. Seems it not so much the football league disagreeing with the premier league, more leagues one and two disagreeing with the championship.

As they say, this could be one to keep an eye on

The Championship has been getting a bit twitchy and looking to cut us adrift for a while.

Despite the fact the ITV digital disaster still shows their product isnt worth what they think it is.

Good. Although I don't think this is the last we'll hear of it.

Very interesting, and slightly worrying given the potential for it to cause a rift

On the face of it going from £2.2m a year in the championship to £325k in league 1 dosnt really seem fair does it?

Now been accepted by the FL

Looks like those that are not in the championship from next season will have an even harder job to make it and stay there with championship clubs getting mroe money and those coming down from the prem being looked after better

Given the Premier League made it an all or nothing offer, forcing a split in the FL, the League chairmen were faced with either accepting it or facing a breakaway from the Championship. Well done Premiership, your ongoing mission to completely fucking destroy English football on the altar of your own greed and egotism is bang on target.

If the Premier League were really "looking after the football league" the money would be distributed evenly amongst all member clubs and parachute payments kept the same. Fucking ridiculous. Any hope of reaching "the promised land" is all but gone for those lower league clubs.

What a load of shit.  The deal on offer is clearly unfair to L1 & L2 clubs and lower championship clubs.  The size of the reward on offer for getting into the premier league is now even larger - its not going to encourage good finanical practice amongst championship clubs when they know if you do manage to blag your way up though the play offs then get battered for a season you end up getting subsidised for 4 years afterwards is it?  They've just made the gamble even bigger.

Also given the gap between Championship and league 1 funding there should surely logically be parachute payments for being relegated?  If we went up then straight back down again that could halve STFC's turnover. How are clubs supposed to budget for that?

Again, why pay out for getting relegated.

If you get relegated from the Premiership - you lose your 'Premiership' money...

It makes no sense whatsoever... it's like you're rewarded for failure.
