This could turn nasty as Brentford will now receive more dough from the EFL than City. Assuming they finish above us.
They won’t, you don’t get money based on League position in the Championship, that’s a Premier League thing.
Yes. It would have been great if he had been successful in his bid for Man Utd. Though it is amazing to think what you could have bought Man Utd for back then. Some people who didn't own oil companies or internet companies could have bought them back then.

Did well for a chef from Carlisle. Or would have done if he'd got away with it.
You used to, or did I dream it. Maybe it was just the top six or something.
When you consider the team finishing last in the Prem is garunteed a £100m.
This may not be accurate, I don't bother myself with accuracy...
It seems odd that there is a debt to the Trustees of Eddie Davies wasn't he the previous owner that wrote off all previous debts owed to him before he died.
notts county, the league's oldest club, has just done one. after playing all 120 seasons of the football league and (probably) playing more league games than any other league team (which could mean they are close to records for scoring/conceding/losing), they will not play in the football league next season.
They have a combined total of more promotions and relegations than any other club.
One City connection some time ago we played them midweek, I think it was a League Cup tie.
We didn't take a massive amount of support but it was announced that the amount of beer consumed in the away end was most ever.
Just checked the game is still on.
Dawson hoping to play to complete his return from injury.
As OLM said there is no set prize money for where you finish in the Championship. The teams that are televised get the most revenue, he is last season, which includes parachute payments.

Well done Sol and well done to the players
Or maybe they should ha e refused to play and let the club and the fans down
Think of the money eh boys
When Campbell took over in late November the team were seven points adrift of the last safe spot, with two victories from their first 19 matches. Since then, Macclesfield’s financial difficulties have become so chronic the team have been training on a school playing field 20 miles away. The players apparently have not received their wages for four months and it is only six weeks since the club survived a winding-up petition.

Yet Campbell has overseen something truly special at the unpretentious little ground where I wrote this from a press box with the wifi code of Leak1615 – chosen because if you are in seats 16 or 15 on a rainy day the roof is not going to save you from being drenched.
It culminated in a 1-1 draw against Cambridge that means Macclesfield surviving at the expense of Notts County. The biggest problem for Macc now might be keeping their manager from other clubs. All of which feels a long way from the days when a former England international found, unlike many of his old teammates, he could barely even get a job interview.

He still left £18m debt in the club plus loaned a further £5m in the days before his death all accruing interest
