BBC/Dan Roan - Football League to meet over parachute payments
- The Football League will hold an emergency meeting at Walsall's Banks's Stadium on Monday to try to resolve a dispute over the money clubs receive.
- If agreement cannot be reached, fears will grow that the Championship could form a break-away division.
- It is understood the Premier League will stop all solidarity payments if the 72 clubs reject a new £400m package for the next three seasons.
- The deal doubles parachute payments to clubs relegated from the top flight.
- At a meeting last month, the offer was rejected amid concerns that it would create a second Premier League in all but name, and make it more difficult for clubs currently in Leagues One and Two to climb up the divisions.
- DAN ROAN'S BLOG
If not outright rebellion, this is certainly the first major fall-out between the richest and oldest leagues in the world
- Clubs in the lower two leagues unanimously refused to approve the plans, even though they would boost the money each club receives from £108,000 to £325,000 in League One, and from £72,000 to £250,000 in League Two.
- The Football League is also concerned that its sovereignty could be affected by the Premier League's insistence that their two sets of rules should be brought closer together.
Half of the clubs in League One and Two are required to vote for the proposal for it to be accepted by the Football League as a whole.
- Richard Scudamore, chief executive of the Premier League, said: "It's a genuine attempt to help the Football League after our international TV rights turned out to be better than we expected.
- "By doing it this way, everyone is better off, including the non-parachute clubs who would then share the Football League's TV money between them."
- The amount of money the top flight shares with the rest of the professional game has been a source of controversy since 1992 when the formation of the Premier League meant it negotiated its own broadcasting deals, ending the obligation to share its media revenues BBC

Emirates Business - Flavio Briatore isn't succumbing to career injuries. By Keith J Fernandez Published Sunday, May 09, 2010
"...And what of speculation that he is close to selling the Queens Park Rangers (QPR) Football Club, which he bought together with F1 President and CEO Bernie Ecclestone, from a consortium in 2007?
"Everything's for sale, everything's for buying," he said, refusing to rule out a sale of his stake. "But what's more important is that the price needs to be right." Emirates Business
Helguson: Watford Observer - Watford hope to re-sign Arsenal youngster and QPR striker next season but money could be a problem
".....Helguson was a lot clearer regarding where he wants to be next season.
When asked if he hopes to return, Helguson replied: “If things get sorted out and we can come to some sort of an agreement then yes, absolutely.”
Helguson, who scored 11 goals in 29 matches during his two loan spells at Watford this season, plans to speak to new Rangers manager Neil Warnock in the next few weeks to discuss his future.
Watford’s financial problems are well documented and Mackay claimed “it is something that is not in our control”.
Mackay said: “He has another year left at a football club which has another set of management and another set of directors involved.
“That is going to be a trickier situation [than Lansbury’s] and is obviously at a different end of the pay scale as well. It is something that is going to have to be talked about between Heidar and QPR.”
Helguson, who is one goal short of breaking into the club’s top ten all-time leading goalscorers, is understood to be on more than £15,000 a week and QPR were subsidising part of his wages during the loan spells.
The striker would almost certainly have to take a pay cut should he move back to Vicarage Road permanently, or QPR may have to continue to pay a proportion of his wages.
Helguson admitted: “That [wages] is one of the things that we need to look at if we are going to make it happen but I can’t really say too much. We have to wait and see what happens. I will probably find out a bit more after I speak to the manager [Warnock].
“Nothing has been mentioned since the day after I arrived. With the situation with all the games, everything was put on hold so we will see what happens.” Watford Observer
