Of course you still have to deliver, but it was not a fair competition. The only winner was parachute payments. Absolutely correct. Although I don’t blame Fulham, I blame the system. It’s simply a reward for failure. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read a quote on Twitter that Mitrovic is on more a week than the 11 that started Luton’s last match, it is an absolute farce. Fulham spent more in the summer transfer window than the other 23 teams did between them. Bournemouth, who will also go up, cheated FFP to get parachute payments in the first place & despite pitiful crowds are bankrolled by a Russian. Neither side deserve any credit at all, Huddersfield (in the last year of parachute payments but who have spent virtually nothing) & Luton (despite their odious manager) certainly do. Our point at home to Fulham was probably our best result of the season considering the ridiculous advantage they have. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Premier Leaugue actually has around 20/ 21 teams in it, although some of them have to swap divisions for a season or so. Parachute payments make the whole thing completely unfair they should be abolished..........clearly no chance of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get promoted then get relegated, you are set- up, it is an utterly unfair competition, which FFP makes worse. Imagine if SL decided that no matter the cost, he wanted promotion, despite the fact he has the money, he cannot do it. It is a cartel and to break out of that you have to be extremely fortunate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 That’s £34m more the PL clubs get next season. If Bournemouth go up, that’s another £15m….and if Sheff Utd do so too. That’s another £34m also. If Watford and Norwich come down, that’s only 2 years worth of PPs they get, so a bit more pressure on them to go back up quickly. Burnley or Everton in a bad way financially, whichever one comes down. Might we see a slight chink in the yoyo’ing of clubs going forward….I doubt it….but we might see the odd one plummet too, like Sunderland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 A minor titbit...the last time both Norwich and Fulham were in the top league was 2013/14. One goes up, one goes down pretty much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
