And I think is suggesting there were 3,000 empty seats in home areas against us because ST holders don’t put their tickets on the exchange.
Also rants about the unfairness of parachute payments.

Interesting what his view will be regarding parachute payments if, and it’s still a big if they make it to the Premier League and come straight back down. |  | | |

His general point about parachutes is broadly correct; they do distort the championship, BUT they are necessary because of the absurd imbalance of finances in the prem. He’ll be more than happy to collect those cheques if/when they come his way. | |

If they go up some Coventry fans will get their season tickets for free.
For the last few years they’ve been able to pay £100 more (optional) and if they get promoted in that season the PL season ticket is totally free. |  |

Eliminating parachute payments would be catastrophic without completely rebalancing the money distribution between the leagues. It would lead to either the gutting of any squad relegated from the PL, or a significant increase of relegated clubs getting into serious financial trouble. | | | |

He's treading a fine line there, with the home supporters. They are in an incredible position, and I would argue he should be rallying the troops, not moaning about season ticket holders who couldn't make a weekday match at 6pm.
As Mick McCarthy once said, it's not good to stand outside the tent and p*** in. |  |

Maybe im being thick, but i didnt understand his point on this quote. “ We have 4 clubs that continue to receive parachute payments in our league this year (just to remind you) and therefore our achievements are unprecedented. As a supporter, I don’t think it really gets much better…”
Has a team thats not been in receipt of parachute payments never got promoted before then? Whilst i agree with the more general point on parachute payments, im struggling to see how it doesnt make the premier league a closed shop more if teams go up and dont hve a go at it. |  | | |

Nominative determinism, innit. |  |

tbh I'm obviously glad we've got them, but I'm fundamentally against Parachute Payments. My opinion on them hasn't changed now we've got them, but it's nicer to be the ones being unfairly helped.
There should be a better way to spread the wealth of football throughout the pyramid, but this is the best way as long as the Premier League teams are unwilling to share. | | | |

So they have crowd-funded their way to buying promotion! |  |

He is of course correct, as are you.
The Prem cause the imbalance in football due to their hoarding of the vast majority of the wealth. Or frittering it away on poor signings. Either way, it’s the Prem who are causing much of the issues in the Championship and below. |  |
