marrez Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) As most of us know - there is a parachute payment in place for relegation - £500,000. Roughly for finishing 12th we also get about £750k. This will take us to 1.25m - or the same amount of money if we had came 4th in the league this season. Next season we get a further £250k parachute payment, with anything from Close to £400k for 1st down to £155k for 8th (lets not be overly negative and assume we wont be in another playoff battle next season at the wrong end). I dont think they have published figures for last season but the breakdown the season before were... Premiership 1 £2,405,000 (-£315,000)2 £1,718,000 (-£682,000)3 £1,460,000 (-£60,000)4 £1,289,000 (-£71,000)5 £1,203,000 (-£77,000)6 £1,117,000 (-£83,000)7 £1,057,000 (-£63,000)8 £1,005,000 (-£35,000)9 £988,000 (+£28,000)10 £902,000 (+£22,000)11 £816,000 (+£16,000)12 £730,000 (+£10,000) Championship 13 £387,000 (+£319,000)14 £344,000 (+£277,000)15 £301,000 (+£235,000)16 £258,000 (+£193,000)17 £241,000 (+£177,000)18 £189,000 (+£121,000)19 £172,000 (+£111,000)20 £155,000 (+£95,000) Edited May 11, 2015 by marrez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the BoD adopt its usual strategy of budgeting to finish 3rd bottom of the league and anything else is a bonus or do we have a 1 year or a 3 year plan to get back up? Ms Budge and Craig Leven put their strategy to the jambo fans about this time last year. Edited May 11, 2015 by magnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iael18 Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 If a team is to get relegated at any time this is definitely the year to do so. From what I can determine we will get £300,000 this season and £125,000 next season if we are not promoted. This is the last year of the parachute payments so those relegated next season get zilch. We also have Morton (who will go straight back down again but useful to us this season) and of course a couple of top-tier teams who can bring a substantial support (TFKAR, Hibs, or Well). http://spfl.co.uk/docs/067_324__articlesofthespfllimited_1375800575.pdf page 38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - £500k for both clubs if they are relegated according to the reports from 2014. Pretty sure it is... It's a max of £500k for 11th place relegation and £300k for 12th place relegation. If we fail to get automatic promotion we get a further max of £250k or £125k as per above premiership placing.

windae cleaner Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Call me a cynical auld cnut. Perhaps the BoD sold McLean to cover the difference between finishing 11th and 12th.....

Sonny Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 The link above to my post on another thread gives the figures from the SPFL Articles (Page 38). £500,000 for 11th and £300,000 for 12th. Next season both clubs would receive £250,000 and £125,000. This is the last year of parachute payments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalrybud Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Instead of squandering this money on terminating player's contracts, some of it should have been used to retin non-playing staff who have lost their jobs through the incomptetnce of the BoD.

It is never nice when people lose their jobs but what's done is done. Unfortunately due to mistakes made by the board they'll now need to make difficult decisions - but these have to be based on what is best to take the club forward, not sentiment.

El Gingero Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 It is unfortunate that people lose jobs but that's life. Life at a football club isn't exactly a job for life - unless your Aggie the Tea Lady at St Johnstone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
