| £180M Stick or Twist !? 18:53 - Jan 14 with 4347 views | Al_Bundy |
Probably the worst ever season to be relegated from the Premier this season considering what is due to be paying out in this league next season.
We are not adrift but well and truly in the relegation scramble to stay up.
So if you were the Swans board, would you throw some serious cash at trying to play catch up like some other teams are doing and recruit to improve our chances of staying up or would you go down the loanee route and trust the squad we have and have damage limitation if we do go down? |  | | |  |

PS Parachute payments fall in subsequent seasons. The Guardian article above suggests they will now only last for three seasons in total.
Currently the parachute payments total £65m and are spread over 4 years
The payments are front-loaded so that a club receives approximately £25m in the first year of relegation, £20m in the second year and £10m in the third and fourth years.
Hence from Swiss Ramble's analysis I assume new rules apply to us - based on £38m estimate compared to current £25m.
If we financially manage the situation well - will probably allow us to have two good shots at getting back into the Premier League - whilst we have an advantage over other Championship clubs (those not also relegated and receiving parachute payments) - who will only be receiving £5m income (excluding match day and commercial income). |
The problem with that is some of those Championship clubs are much bigger than SCFC and have more ticket sales and better Commercial sales etc., plus a few may have sugar daddies as well.
So it should be easy enough to compete with the smaller clubs financially, but maybe not so easy with the bigger clubs, or like those that went down last year on parachute payments.
Plus they won't have to replace half their players who have deserted us for Prem or European play.
Much rather stay thanks.  | | | |
