Saints winning tonight means we get an extra £5M next season 22:18 - May 17 with 4015 viewsle2blue

We share the £103M that the Premier League doesn't have to pay two teams parachute payments. Crazy sums really.

It's a nonsense really this self interest. But as a Town fan who has seen his team battle against ever richer clubs in the championship for nearly 2 decades I say we milk this for all we can.

Even if next season is a disaster, the club will be in such a better position than any of us could imagine just a few years ago.

Let's be honest, that is disgraceful really. Should be split amongst the EFL or at least half of it.

It is grotesque. And I hate the disparity between the top tier and the rest of the leagues. The game is run by crooks and charlatans.

I think most of us agree this is wrong, but an extra £5M is still a lot of money to us when trying to navigate FFP.

It could be the difference between us offering a 3 yr contract to a player KMc wants or not. Or being able to push the boat out for a loan signing next season (Omari!).

I know this means we become part of the greed problem, but if we can't beat them, then after 22 years of being the victim I'm happy to join them.

£103m that was destined for the EFL (albeit to be shared between just 2 clubs) Even if we were to finish bottom of the Prem next season we'd get more than £103m just in prize money, on top of all the added TV / Other revenue that we'll get next season.

£5m will be small change to us (and obviously the other Prem clubs) next season...£103m shared between the EFL clubs (some quick maths, that could work out at £2m for each Championship club, and £1m to each League One / League Two club) would be a far better and fairer use of that money.

Infrastructure spend doesn't count towards FFP, so I think the club will use this £5M for the playing budget.

In the same way the new pitch didn't affect the budget for players/wages last season.

We did nothing to get this cash.

It was all thanks to Norwich doing nothing against Leeds that made this happen.

I'd like to say thanks but I don't think they'd hear me over all the blubbing.

Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?

It was wrong then, it's still wrong now. Let's not join the arrogant puffed up EPL "fcuk the rest" brigade. The EPL has a moral responsibility to the rest of the pyramid. That doesn't change because we've joined the big boys. In fact clubs like us should be at the forefront of arguing for a more equitable distribution of PL income.

I know, but the very biggest clubs decide these things and it happens regardless, so might as well milk it for all it's worth. Goes against my principles, but principles are worthless really. You ain't ever going to beat them, so let's take what we can. Far to many years of being screwed over to care any more.

I think we should write an open letter to the folk of Norwich City, thanking them for buying us a £5million player for next season. Most kind. Pity they don't have anyone worth that, or we could give it back to them to help bail out a little local club.
