I thought it was over 4 seasons; won't matter for us as we won't be there that long

You mean parachute payments are cancelled in League One?

Over 3 seasons according to the article

If we have to go that far to get a few wins under our belt, so be it; we'll not be found wanting.

I did see that, but I'm sure I read elsewhere it was over 4; might have imagined it though

Bosingwa 60 k week , park 50k, Hoilett 50k , barton 60k, samba 80k - if we keep these lot for 1 season thats 13 million in wages .

We will also have Zamora 50k, Johnson 30k, Granero 40k, mbia 40k, diakite 30k , SWP 50k, green 50k thats 14.5 million in wages

the rest of the squad, will probably be another 200k per week , thats another 10.5 million in wages

thats 38 million in wages for one season, not including Remy.

we get 12 mil parachute so just for wages we will need 26 million cash to pay for it

if we get gates of 15000 per home game at an average of 40 gbp per ticket for 46 games thats 27.6 million gate receipts

that would leave us with not alot and we have to cover the training ground, matchday staff, management , i hope TF and Amits pockets are still deep.

It says from next season, which I take to mean that teams who are relegated this season will receive the payments beginning next season. In other words teams that went down last year (Blackburn, Wolves and Bolton) won't receive it.
