Midlands Robin Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 When you consider that Fulham spent over 100 million and Wolves over 60 million on new players in a bid to stay up and the cost of promotion is incredible. Cardiff only spent 30 million. Having said that, even the team finishing bottom of the Prem gets around 80 million in tv / prize money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Utd move didn't work out but he's been brilliant since moving back to Palace. He's a London boy and if I remember wanted to be closer to home, but if Tottenham, Chelsea or Arsenal offer the money then he can easily play Champions League football. A real shame he opted for Ivory Coast instead of England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I suppose they were also £13million up on the deal, having sold him for £25m and signed him back for £13m, which covers a large chunk of such massive wage commitment.

If you add in guaranteed parachute payments, the money is 2-3 times that. One thing I hadn't spotted is that for the last couple of seasons the Prem now no longer pays out 3 years of parachute payments if you go straight back down. I've posted before on here on the subject of parachute payments being designed to slowly engineer a closed shop, that exclusion above on one-season teams, seems to me to go even further - it is an acknowledgement that more people than they want are making it to the Prem, and the "day trippers" don't get as much.

There remains the cancel your Sports subscriptions option, but that will never happen. For all the moaning, Sky et. al. dominate in the minds of the public.
