Alas, if I'm reading this correctly, L.O.N. will miss out on a year's parachute money due to a (long overdue, imho) restructuring of the payments system. Teams who disappear back into oblivion after a single season in the top flight lose a year's payments. Quite why they choose to reward abject failure with multi-million payouts at all is still a mystery to me - there are clubs further down the pyramid for whom that money could be the difference between sink or swim, but that's another issue altogether. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jun/02/parachute-payments-clubs-relegated-premier-league
