Total payments £2,398,515,773 That is just Sky money,doesn't include sponsorship,Champions league money or gate receipts ! Oh and anyone who thinks Oxford can do Ok in the Championship with limited funds. The three relegated teams got £41 million each,just from Sky !

So please tell me who had a bigger budget than Newcastle in the Championship ? So please tell me who had a bigger budget than Sheff United in League 1 ? So please tell me who had a bigger budget than Pompey in League 2 ? Money might not guarantee success in the lower leagues,but its sure as hell one big advantage.

Please tell me Leicester had the biggest budget the season before! Once in 25 years,Leicester also have a Billionaire owner. (and if you actually look at the link,Leicester got £116 MILLION from Sky last season) so not exactly skint are they ? Anyway,your sarcastic comment was in reply to me mentioning that relegated teams in the championship last season got £41 Million just from Sky,it was about the imbalance in the Championship,not about what £100 million will buy you in the PL. My post was also about what happened LAST season,any previous season is irrelevant because relegated teams didn't get £41 million. Villa and Norwich stayed down,so they will get another wedge alongside Sunderland,Hull and Boro,(Cardiff,Qpr and Fulham are still getting parachute money). The championship is more about money than any other league in England.

I agree the money is crazy and that especially the teams at the top of the championship then have an advantage as they have parachute money. But it's the bit about that meaning it's those clubs that then win isn't correct. It's not just Leicester. Look at Brighton and Huddersfield , they competed with all the big boys in Newcastle Fulham and villa. On much less of a budget. Chelski do have the top earnings, but that saw them finish out side champions league places last season. Man Utd are back to being the richest club in the world, where did they finish?

Would guess Man U and Man C both had bigger budgets than Chelsea. Newcastle were always going to be the favourites to go up with their huge stadium, fan base and parachute payments. But with regards Sheffield Utd and Portsmouth, they've struggled for the last 3 seasons whilst still being the biggest clubs in their leagues. Look at Huddersfield and Burton. Money isn't the only thing that can bring success.

yes. But you still have to pay out for wages, stadium money, players, and staff. If you factor these all in, your money is only worth a few hundred thousand

Fair enough, but I don't take too much notice of any of that, but I do appreciate, from time to time, an interesting stats link.

The championship is more about money than any other league in England. Agree with most of your posts on this thread - but disagree with that. The Championship is still far, far more unpredictable than the Premiership. I think Leicester are the only team in the history of the Premier League to win the title with a budget outside the top 3-4. The top six sides in the Premiership this year were the teams with the top six budgets. Reason is that quite a few teams come down from the Premiership in relative disarray, with a bunch of high-priced foreign mercenaries and/or past-it old timers that can't compete any more. They then need to clear out and start again, and that can balance out the huge advantage they get from the parachute payments. Happened to Villa this year....wouldn't be surprised to see Sunderland similarly needing a while to turn it around. So well-run teams like Brighton & Huddersfield can compete despite being at an apparent financial disadvantage. Put it this way - just about everyone could have predicted the Premiership Top Six this season; anyone who says they correctly predicted the Championship Top Six is lying! BUT it is absolutely true that if we got promoted to the Championship, we'd be competing against teams with an order of magnitude higher budget than us. Which would be really hard to do.

Be interesting to see how Sunderland, who reportedly have a £90 million a year wage bill, but don't have a very good squad cope with the drop.
Even allowing for Defoe, Pickford and any out of contract players leaving that still leaves them with largest wage bill ever in the championship, if they struggle as I think they should, will the parachute payments cover them while they rebuild, or will they become at best a Bolton or at worst a Portsmouth?
