Teams who are relegated from the premiership get 2 payments as a safety net to help them cope with not getting the revenue generated in the Prem. If they gain promotion straight back into the prem then the 2nd payment is split evenly amongst the other teams in the championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Newcastle went down, a sum of money was put aside to be paid to them at the start of their 1st and 2nd season in the fizzy leagues. As they were promoted straight away, the second payment wasn't paid to them. Instead it was split between ALL championship teams, which included luton? :-p Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tez01979 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 actually from what i read it was spilt between clubs of all lower divisions, not just the championship Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
