These parachute payments work a treat don't they....

Ridiculous, isn't it? Although, Jordan Rhodes cost £8 million and had hardly played at Championship level. Shows how well we did to get Ulloa so cheap and is probably the reason we'll go abroad again if Ulloa does go.

Parachute payments need regulation, this is a joke.

I thought they were meant to help with the big wages the players would be on as it'd be a struggle with the decrease in TV money??

Scrap them and just give that money equally to teams. If a club is relegated and doesn't have relegation wage drops in the players contracts then so be it. It is the players that get relegated after all

Completely agree. All this fuss about Financial Fair Play is completely irrelevant when teams come down from the Premier League with such a huge advantage (and it's got even bigger now). It will never happen though.

£10million

One budget for some and one for the rest, makes FFP to be the joke that it is

 

[Mowgli37]

Sauce? If true that is crazy money for a player untested at the highest level, I can't imagine Fulham are expecting anything less than an instant return to the top.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Farcical.

if he worth that how much is ulloa worth

 

[TomandJerry]

Parachute payments are a joke!

 

[Pickles]

If this is true, then I've lost a little bit more passion for the game.

Me too Musty.

If it wasn't for my quality view and that I sit 4 rows behind Edna at the centre of the WSU and ( have to ) listen to her knowledge of everything I'd give up myself.

Good news in relation to ulloa valuation IMO

They are almost exactly the same age give or take a few weeks.

Football has just become a little bit more of a joke than I thought it was. And who are the
mugs.....yes - I suppose it's "us" although I target my anger at the Premiership more than
anything.

Absolutely. Then we can have a level playing field again.



We'd be total mugs now to sell Leo for anything under 10 million.

Absolutely farcical that all these payments do is allow relegated teams to pluck the best championship players. How can this be allowed?

Totally agree. Clubs should contract their contracts to have affordable relegation clauses in them. If a team gets relegated it is quite clear that the players are not worth their over inflated salaries so why should they be bailed out in the lower the division at the expense of their competitor teams.

Where will it all end up ,i wonder ? A Prem 2 league,without promotion from the championship,or a Europe league,taking our best clubs. Clubs must surely have relegation clauses in their player contracts.I would like the payments be somehow ring fenced,to honour existing commitments and not used to create more ,in the form of inflated fees and salaries.( Now if Ulloa is sold for 10ml..........! )

 

[JBizzle]

We have this every year, no? It won't change all the time the Premier League is a separate organisation to the Football League. Why would they give two hoots about fairness in the Championship when they don't really even care about fairness in their own league?

McCormack is quality at this level but £10m? I guess it depends on whether he gets Fulham promorted or not. As some have said though, gotta means £10m for Ulloa now. Looks like Bloom/Barber/Burke or whomever, did the right thing playing hard ball.
