The Prem didn’t pay that money this season, so no guarantee next season either…..


Yes they have. And next season is agreed too.

The current argument in the PL is over future payment structure for their next TV deal period which starts in August 2025.

They are arguing over how the money should be distributed and for what purpose. i.e. will it be given to EFL clubs to spend as they like or will some of it be pooled and given as grants for infrastructure projects- like new training grounds.

The other issues they are arguing about is where the money comes from. The smaller clubs are sticking together to force the greedy 6/clubs in receipt of UCL money to pay the lions share.

The money side of it has been agreed. Everything else is up in the air.

Quoted from Poojah


Whilst I’m possibly guilty of a tiny bit of conflation of Torquay and Rochdale’s circumstances into our own potential short-term future, the point I’m trying to highlight is real. If we go down, we lose the following:

Premier League solidarity money - £872,000
EFL central / TV money - £625,000

Golly can / will correct me on those exact numbers, but they get a lot bigger next season compared to this, that’s for sure. It’s also not inconceivable that STs / gates could fall by around 50% if we went down (and struggled). That’s roughly another £1m right there, so you’re very quickly looking at a £2.5m hole in the P&L versus what we might have budgeted.

Any parachute money we might get will be largely eaten up by losses in other ancillary income streams (sponsorship, merchandise, match day food and drink sales).

Given we’re going to have a number of potentially unwanted players on long-term contracts (and potentially on League Two wages if there aren’t any relegation clauses), at best it’s going to be an incredibly difficult base for the club to approach next season from, and at worst it could be absolutely catastrophic.

We absolutely must not go down.


It's next season the games/kick off times get scrambled all over the place (in the league)  ?
