looking at the figures it seems that the £90mill headline figure could potentially be £60mill with around half of that figure going to the league for youth/community work.
It says from next season so I daresay we won't see any penny following promotion back to the prem come May 2008.
the figure breaks down as:
£5.4m for youth development
£4m for community work
£11.2m between the three division of the football league (around £150k per club)
with the rest coming when there are spare parachute payments (presumably when clubs go straight back up after coming down).
sounds more like a token gesture than a solidarity payment to me.
I hope we don't as I'm looking forward to being back in the Prem next year.
Guardian on-line is suggesting an average of an extra £900k for each Championship club but closer to an extra £1.3m in total for a club finishing 5th that was not recieving parachute money.
How the first £31.8m will be distributed next season
£5.4m Football League youth development
£4m Football League clubs' community investment
£11.2m Solidarity payment to be split among clubs in the Championship, League One and League Two
£11.2m Clubs will share this extra money because Sunderland and Birmingham City, promoted to the Premier League, are no longer receiving parachute payments

So if we stay down next season, as we will still be getting a parachute payment, we won't be getting part of this ?
That's the way I read it but it's not totally clear. I thought it was for the 2007/8 season.
