Parachute payments were introduced by the Premier League in the 2006/07 season as a method of limiting the financial damage a relegated team may endure when dropping down to the Championship. Parachute payments also exist for teams that have been relegated from the Championship, League 1 & League 2 as well. Unfortunately, parachute payments gives relegated clubs an unfair financial advantage over all those other clubs in those respective leagues where those relegated Clubs find themselves. The evidence is there for all to see where we are now in the age of the yo yo club that gets relegated, then gets promoted again. Parachute payments have clearly made the football league less competitive when it comes to clubs trying to gain promotion. This state of affairs just cannot go on and needs to be addressed by the FA & EFL. My suggestion would be to abolish parachute payments for relegated clubs, & distribute that money, that would have been used for parachute payments, to all the other league clubs. I would also put a cap on transfers and wages in all four leagues, as a fixed lump sum in each league, not an amount based on percentage of turnover, which unfairly benefits the rich Clubs.

Persistent rain expected this Wednesday Afternoon.

In five years time Notts will hopefully be in league 1, in a good financial state, resolutely sticking to their long term financial principles. Hopefully Notts will be challenging in the top half of the table, playing attractive open football that will continue to attract a good following. I would hope to have seen the Club invest in the ground improvements needed to get the ground capacity back to 20,000 with more refreshment kiosks and additional toilets. I think the Club need to install additional turnstiles and improve the present ones too.
