...........The reward - for FAILURE !
If a ( normal ) business is unable to compete - it fails and goes bust.
If a ( normal ) employee is not good enough at their job, he/she would expect to get their P45.
In neither scenario would they ( normally ), still get 'rewarded' with cash that ( more or less ), allows them to continue to receive the 'same / similar ' payment for the next three years ........... So - how can it be right and proper for EPL clubs to be rewarded - for failure ?
If a club is relegated from the Championship, L1, L2 etc, I am unaware if any of them receive a 'parachute' payment - So why only give it to the clubs relegated from the EPL ?? And how can that comply with Financial Fair Play rules ?? -- it's hardly fair to all other clubs in the EFL.
Clubs in the EPL, and any of it's players ( and staff ), should have to face the consequences of failure. Regardless of contracts that may have been upgraded when a club is promoted to the EPL, there should be an automatic process where contracts are negotiated ( downwards ),when an EPL club is relegated - to pay the players the appropriate amount - for failure -- and that NO parachute payments should be given - for failure.... If a relegated EPL club still wants to pay its' players the same amount in the Championship - it can do so from their own capital - without the extra funding.
The amount of money that is thrown at EPL clubs is obscene. They way that most of them use these resources is equally obscene - and smacks of a 'couldn't -car-less' attitude towards anything outside the EPL..If these clubs cannot be disciplined enough to use the money a little more sensibly, they should not expect the fans to pay for their failure.
If there is so much money available in the form of 'parachute' payments, perhaps it could be used to help clubs in the lower leagues to simply exist....... as they struggle to live simply.
