Lew-T Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 6 minutes ago, ExiledAjax said: So a second parachute payments club will be going up this year. Cracking outcome for the premier league. Congratulations to all involved. I know what you’re saying. But I think we can all agree the three that came down last season were the strongest three that’s ever come down to the Championship. It was inevitable they would go straight back up. Next season however, it looks fairly wide open to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t argue with that, although Ipswich upset the party and one of Southampton or Leeds will be here next year of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done to them, I hope they enjoy the money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwich face quite a plunge from £61m and Year 2 of Parachute Payments to £39m and EFL cash next year. Sold quite well this year but that is a double whammy indeed.

West Brom ran out last year, 4/6 but they should have been bolstered markedly by Parachute Payments or PL cash between 2002-03 to 2022-23 unbroken. It distorts matters horribly though.

Barrs Court Red Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 Nightmare season for Norwich fans - the team puts on a shameful display to limp out of the playoffs, while their rival gets an unexpected promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southend Blue Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 It's great seeing them miss out and beaten heavily in a return game to totally annihilate any chance they had tonight, but Leeds actually put four goals past us not only at Elland Road but the home game before it earlier in the season. They must really enjoy opposition from East Anglia, they've destroyed both clubs at least once now in a one-off fixture. We've had to endure so much ridicule from City fans not only this season but going back so many years it's easy at times to lose track of it. Our inability to beat them this season has only led to continued mocking in that we haven't managed a win against them in any competition for 15 years. Any chance they get, it would always be mentioned. It seemed at times it wasn't about victory, just making sure they escaped defeat so the run could continue. We won't get the opportunity now to once again attempt to end that statistic as we're going to be playing in different leagues for I don't know how many years to come. However tonight does offer a certain redemption as for so long we've been nothing but a target or focus of their ridicule and this time, the shoe's on the other foot and it's their turn to despair and suffer hurt and indignation. You'd have to be a true supporter of either club to truly understand the extent of the rivalry but for years we've had to put up with their abuse and ridicule and now for once, they can miss out and watch the parade go by. Just surprised my language remained so civilised. 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone fancies watching it again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q-SF7FbYXc To be fair they pretty well outclassed us at home, we were lucky to get away with just a single-goal loss, had it been 5 I don't think I would have been able to complain I said when I came out of the ground it was hard to believe we were in the same division. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Sinclair Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Ruthless, but they were dire last night - you can live with defeats if the side puts a shift in, and are just beaten by the better team on the day but they were terrible.

2015 Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Lets be honest here and it makes no sense for me to say this, but Norwich were nowhere near good enough to be promoted this season. No idea how they ended up in the play offs and had Coventry not had a good cup run I think they would have been the side to have made the play offs again. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
