The_Judge Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) https://twitter.com/SwissRamble/status/1031811168132841473 Parachute payments are made to clubs relegated from the Premier League in order to soften the blow of the significant reduction in revenue in the Championship, especially as many players’ wages remain at a high level. The following thread looks at how these payments work. Edited August 22, 2018 by The_Judge 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Judge Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 https://twitter.com/SwissRamble/status/1026738429260906496 Although the English League One 2016/17 financial results are a season out-of-date, they are the most recent published, so people might still be interested in the comparisons. Note that not all figures are available, as many clubs only publish abbreviated accounts. Some thoughts follow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman Hessian Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 not bad to be fair - decent article about new Hellas manager Fabio Grosso and his defining role in the 2006 World Cup; just about to read the piece about the 1985 scudetto, but so far it seems to be decently written, informative stuff - no facile preconceptions or bias on show.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Some folk think Sid Lowe's take on the wee teams in La Liga is parochial, twee, patronising nonsense. A bit of truth to that but I still like it. Here's his take on Huesca's La Liga debut https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2018/aug/20/la-liga-huesca-make-a-sizeable-impact 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They told that story on an episode of the Golazo podcast. Absolutely bonkers. Shame it ruined his time at Napoli, but pleased for the big man as he looks like finishing top scorer this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
