Do points mean pounds?

Postby Summer of '75 » Mon Feb 20, 2017 7:03 pm

I read somewhere that in the Premiership, to ensure the mid-table teams keep making a bit of an effort until the season's end, when the final table is confirmed there's a payment for every team, the amount determined by exactly where in the table each team finishes. The higher you finish, the more money you get.

I presume there's something similar in the Championship; does anyone know if there is and, if so, how it works?

Or perhaps there's some other kind of incentive? (Let's set aside 'pride' and 'honour' and that kind of stuff for now!)

I've looked high and low for the figures but to no avail. Anyone know the figures by League position? :ayatollah:

I think I heard on maybe Radio wales once when they were talking about Warnock and what sort of budget he should get, can't remember who said it but I think they said every club gets 6m at the start of the season in the championship and the money is obviously considerably less in League one.

Now that I think about I am really not sure where I heard it but I do definitely remember hearing this either on the radio or a championship game that was on sky maybe, anyone have any idea at all?
