Get Rid of Brady

[sinkov]

From what I can see sinkov, parachute payments to EFL clubs are linked only to the equally shared element of the broadcasting income (i.e. 50% of UK income, and 100% of Overseas income).

Seeing that revenue is way down due to the Chinese consortium's inability to stump up, the Black Hole in Mike's finances might be ever greater than your mystical Black Hole in Gawthorpe.

Either way, it looks like we need to stay up or that shortfall might be nearer to £50 million depending on what goes into the EPL pot via broadcasting income. ITV Digital all over again?

Of course it might turn out to be alright on the night, and we carry on life as an 'established' PL club, but an alarm bell is ringing at the back of my head, and I have this uneasy feeling we could be playing the likes Rochdale and Oldham again inside the next three years, and I don't mean in Cup matches.

No doubt Sub will tell me to get a grip and stop worrying, but nothing lasts forever.
