That’s why you get parachute payments. The whole point of them is to smooth the transition of going down.
£750k this year I believe and a total of £1.5m in 3 years.
Delusional.

Take away the Sky TV money for starters and the remainder of the first year payment disappears. How are your replacements financed?

Exact details are hard to find. A massive drop off in revenue but searching for this suggests distribution is linked to number of subscriptions, match viewing figures and how the league distributes the pooled revenue. Figures range from £80k - £250k so well below the guaranteed Sky money unfortunately.

Why are people on here always looking for negatives.We all need to get behind the manager and give him a chance.A lot of you seem to be writing him off before he has even started.Give the guy a chance.The first few months are bound to be rocky.I think some harsh words will be said to the ones who he thinks are not giving it there all irrespective of how good a player they are.It.They protest the board will have to give the manager their full backing.They have to realise that it is the piper that calls the tune not them.

Sounds like Adam Murray is now in the process of sorting the rotten apples from the good eggs.

I've just listened to the interview at least we're taking our time sounds really good and we as a club are at last trying to set up foundations to build on contracts targets all underway, will it be easy no but I feel much more confident listening to Adam than I did with either Clemence or Whing!
Bring it on whatever is in front of us !

Good interview. Forgotten what it sounds like to have a Manager who has a clear vision of what he wants and what he expects. In the nicest possible way he’s identified how chaotic we've been and hints at fitness and physicality needed. Im sure he’ll want half of the retained list out the door. Pretty much a squad rebuild. Whether we can compete for a realistic chance of top 5 remains to be seen.

Good interview. He comes over well, and there's something about him that I find inspires confidence and trust. We can only hope that he has the same effect upon the players.

Good interview … no “um’s”, “errh’s”, etc, straight to point - seems to have a vision and a quick understanding of our current situation and staff and players. Like others I get the feeling he will have a rout and rebuild - for the positive.
First impressions are confidence inspiring - let’s see where this Manager can take us.

Welcome Adam, and good luck.

Exactly- he’s got a big rebuild job on his hands.

Perhaps I have totally misunderstood this, but on searching the internet for this type of info, it seems to be saying that clubs relegated from EFL 2 currently receive a 100% payment for the first year, 50% for the second, and nothing after that. Any clarification gratefully received!

As mentioned by Paul Hornby at the Q&A the payment is £1,500,000 over 3 seasons

So this season we get £750k

If we don’t go back up then next season it drops to £500k

And if we fail to go up in season two it drops to £250k in season 3

After that you are on your own
