Good thing or bad thing? On one hand you can argue that it will help stop clubs going bust who get relegated from the Premiership. On the other hand, you could say that it disadvantages other clubs in the Championship in going for promotion.
Look at West Brom, up and down like a bloody yoyo. Would Newcastle have done so well if they hadn't received the 'relegation money'? If a club signs players on stupid contracts that they can't afford to pay if they get relegated, then tough, live with it! We had to in 1983.
Now the Premier League wants to increase the amount of money paid to relegated clubs. Surely rewarding failure and bad financial management?
They should scrap it and if the Premiership has got money to throw away, then why not divide it equally amongst all the Football League clubs?
