This money argument is bunk. The more clubs earn/are paid the more they have to give out in fees and wages. Our recovery will depend on good sound management rather than money. No point in slashing our wrists over £32/100 million issue.

Would you rather say have £32m to spend on players in the Championship or £100m to spend in the Premier?Yeah, that's a tough one.
I'd found parachute payment figures previously that were different to those posted in the OP. I suppose it stands to reason that the new, hyper-inflated PL TV deal will bring inflated parachute payments.
