The Football League in England have woken up to the notion that they do not have a working business model. Solidarity payments from the FA Premier League’s new TV deal will earn Championship clubs £2.3m a season (considerably more than Celtic will receive from TV for winning the SPL), with League One sides earning £324k and League Two sides earning £250k.
Unfortunately, for those hoping to establish a well-balanced and competitive structure, parachute payment to those relegated from the Premier League will earn each club £69m (£23m in year one, £18m in year two and £9m in years three and four).
The Guardian report that today Championship clubs are expected to warn the Premier League that they risk permanently damaging the “integrity of the Football League” by increasing parachute payments to the proposed level. An unusual case of a group asking for some of its members to receive less money.
The Football League doesn’t have a viable business model. Clubs spend unsustainable amounts of money trying to attain the riches of the Premier League, where they can add zeros to both income and expenditure. Most fail and many of them plummet down the divisions. Even those who drop into the Championship with parachute payments (albeit at the old level) find deleveraging too difficult.
The SPL doesn’t have a viable business model either. They should be talking to the Football League and see what benefits could accrue from working together.
10 years ago tonight:
Liverpool 0-2 Celtic
Bang! Celtic are in a European semi final.

Tonight’s SSB certainly was a hoot …..Sammi had them struggling…..
greengo’s plan isn’t quite working out for him …… he may have to ‘jump ship’ a wee bit earlier than he had planned, with less ‘booty’……. shame
Not THAT. Sammi …Sammy …..llLOL

Gebhoy@19.47,
Hear,hear.
Its a long way before our next game, god knows what we will be talking about by then!!??!! Hoo hum the fun though………
I just read that the authorJames Herbert died today aged 69.
I was ten years of age when I read his book The Rats.
Talk about making an impression on a youngster.
39 years later, over 6ft tall and weighing in well over my ideal weight, if I ever encounter one of those godless creatures, I would give Usain Bolt a run for his money with the speed at which I’d run away from it!
RIP James.

Sandazas talk to Tommy (fae Glasgow) about his contract was quite revealing
Almost a mirror of newcos business “ambitions” for the next 3 years
Can’t believe the FA decided against retrospective action…..incredible…and, apparantly, one of the officials actually saw the incident and ignored it
67 heaven.
Green is tied to newco until he can access his 1p shares, which is probably another year.
I suppose if you can get the money and extras that he is creaming the wait could be worthwhile.
Then again it’s” tic toc” time if they don’t get the jump that he is desperate for.

75% complete… it can dry out with me ;)
Has anyone given thought to what would be happening if the american or blue knights had bought the deadco
Tbf to chuckles … im really glad he weighed in ;)

I know we’re getting on but have you taken to wearing two coats when you go out now?
So her indoors is watching the soaps and you think to yourself, I’ll just check out the latest Hoops news on CQN. You’ve been lurking for ages, in fact you find the site quite addictive, but the time just never felt right to put up your first post.
What name would you pick?
Maybe worried that you’ll be labelled a Hun?!
Well, it’s time to forget all that and get posting…..GH from the Wee Oscar cycle and PMcG who works in Renfrew!! :-)

Tic1-ta ,good to know.
tttt,
if i was a new poster i would offcourse go for something simple and obvious
declan, kevin, liam, something like that ,
and then offcourse a simple addictive number like 67, or 88 ,
so if i was a first poster it would be

67 heaven-Dave Whelan said it was a good tackle !
maybe all those cashpoints where hacked on saturday when most of Glasgows Police where dealing with a few kids in the east end..
this is true from a Saint Mirren fan, on route from china to glasgow, terminal 5 , heathrow friday.
craig whyte spotted on an esclator .
two minutes later, charles green at the gate for the flight up the road.
sheer coincidence i expect.
All this talk of taxi drivers reminds me of one of my favourite Woody Allan lines , from Manhattan,
to his beautiful girlfriend as they’re in a taxi
“You look so beautiful I can hardly keep my eyes on the meter”

SDM wasnt chasing a taxi was he ;)
Bada bing
too true ,seems the sevconians don’t want to pay more for the same dross next term (although I’m not sure if the mean their opponents or Sally’s heroes .
Goldstar10
And there in lies Chuckles problem ,his customers don’t do 2nd best so as soon as the kid on transfer embargo is up chuckles better produce the readies or the hordes will run him out of town ,after all it will only be chuckles COMPANY that goes bust the CLUB will survive .
67 heaven
aye heard Sammy and also heard the upstanding pundits trying to discredit him for at least 10 mins .
As for chuckles I would guess once next terms ST money is trousered he may take a wee vacation although it must be tempting to hang about after seeing the lengths the peepil in charge will go too ,to maximise his profits
have to go the wife’s threatening to boycott the cooker if I don’t get aff the comp

Hello Bhoys been out and had a few but I have a question?
I went to a cashline and they gave me two crisp fivers!!!!!!!
Is this something to do with the budget or what? Or am I back tripping in the eighties?

.I cannot believe that Liverpool game was 10 years ago. I was sitting in the main stand with brothers Charlie and Pat, surrounded by Liverpool fans, one guy in particular right behind me was giving Big Bad John a terrible time of it, calling him all the big fat Bassas of the day.
After his wonder goal I turned to him and said “Not bad for a big fat Bastard, eh?” He never said another word during the game, ha ha.
What a night we had……magic.
Was the same guy screaming ‘Stand your ground’ at the wall before Alan Thompson took the free kick and they jumped out the way?
BT
brilliant.
After reading Paul67’s leader I decided to open the 500ml Buds and seek out the road to Seville DVD and watch the Liverpool v Tic 2nd leg complete with English commentary.
Crackin!,
Still treating my ankle injury caused by Kevin Blooter at 5’s last Thursday. The 500…..440…..330ml buds help for medicinal purposes
