Hadn’t Green Bay already gained home field advantage throughout the playoffs? There’s a solution to that problem.
Well, someone has to lose (so we've been told) .... Regardless of league structure that is a constant of sporting endeavors, so who cares if there are perennial losers ?
Well, the local CBS network pays a lot of money to show their games, there's a waiting list for season tickets and the sports bars in NYC and Long Island are packed.
Yeah, if I can accept the integrity of one team winning a league for eight or nine years straight, I can also accept a perennial bottom feeder.
Because no promoted team has ever been more poorly managed than the relegated team, and no relegated team has even been well managed but unlucky. No wait, neither of those are true. But you knew that.
Following up on this story, Chester have now rescheduled both home matches this week (one league, one U19 Cup) while they wait for this mess to get sorted out. They aren't in a position to risk fines for allowing a bigger crowd, but they also can't afford to not have the crowd without financial assistance. The Welsh government did make assistance available to Welsh clubs impacted by these changes, but up until now Chester did not think they were impacted or eligible for the assistance and did not apply.
Apparently all the offices are considered to be in England, which is why the club has an English mailing address.
The tv share is known ... There's the 'times on tv' or whatever money and them table placement money. By the time they kick off their next season, they've been paid for the previous one. Any delayed or differed compensation like that is already known or accounted for or earned by that season's performance/lack of. Which, is the point. They get theirs for being in the Prem for that season. The parachute payment is separate, entirely, and is on top of any monies earned already. You're seriously saying there's no badly managed teams in p/r? Wow ...
So Toronto's bid for a top draft pick ended when they gave away their 3rd pick and a US international striker to FC Dallas for $50k. Cincinnati, who fired their coach, have second pick this afternoon, followed by Dallas using Toronto's pick, and Houston who fired their coach and their GM.
Last word on RLWC 2025 France... seeing as the rules are changing every day thanks to Covid, is now not the time to grant Toulouse Olympique a three-year exemption from @SuperLeague relegation? 🤔❤💛🇫🇷🏉 pic.twitter.com/Rr12vybUwc— Catalan Media 🇨🇵 (@catalanmedia) January 8, 2022 Nice little combo about p/r and such that includes NONE of us and the opinions are ..... Well, see for yourself
You realize the parachute payments come from the same pot as all the other money right? There isn't special money for the parachute payments. It's all agreed ahead so it's all just forms of compensation for wait for it, PLAYING IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE. You keep focusing on the relegation part and ignoring the fact that they only way you can get parachute payments is if you EARN your way into the prem in the first place. It's just a different way to earn compensation. They could do away with them tomorrow and wouldn't change to fundamentals of pro/rel. And no this is not a way that pro/rel rewards failure because the club finishing 17th will earn more money than the relegated clubs. Not really sure what your point is with this one. Don't mean that snarkily I just don't. A fan of a French Rugby League club (that plays in a British really English really Yorkshire and Lancashire league) doesn't want their club relegated. Okay and the sun rises in the East. Not really sure that makes any kind of a point. The replies I saw seem mixed with quite a few "HELL NO's" and unless you're an expert on the workings of the Super League not sure you can offer an educated opinion on the subject.
Just on that subject: Oxford vs. Luton Notts vs. Grimsby The only matches that have taken place in each of the top 5 divisions.
That's not true though is it. If Norwich get relegated in part place they get prize money for finishing 20th, plus parachute payments, which are a percentage of EPL TV money over the following seasons. So all they need to do is show up to matches and they'll get £90 million plus £55 million plus £45 million. Burnley would get 4 years worth of payments. If that's prize money for reaching the EPL then they should get it when they reach the EPL.
