Put it in the bank and use the interest + parachute payments to make sure we bounce back up and stay up.

Re: 50 mil
NOW if i was deckers id go in to the season with saving as much money as possible and prepare to get religated , then when we came back down we would be loaded and be able to put loads into the team and go back up with a very healthy bank account instead of being shrouded in debt like most religated teams . its just a thought 🙄 .......

Re: 50 mil
As far as I know it's broken down like this, if we go up this season we would get:
2007/08 - £30 million for being in the Premiership over the season
2008/09 - £10 million in parachute payments for being back in the Championship (assuming we do get relagated, otherwise it would be £30+ million again)
2009/10 - £10 million again in parachutes payments (unless we've gone back up to the Premiership where we'd get £30+ million again)
So, if we go up this season and get relagated straight away and stay down for two season we'll pocket the £50 million, this would be the minimum we'd pocket. If we manage to stay in the Premiership or go back up at the first attempt we'd get much more.
No, he's right, the money is nice to think of is nice but we've got a long way to go yet! I'd hate to get our hopes up and for are season to go tits-up and we fail to get promoted.

£50m? - let ALL the people of Preston in free to every game - Full stadium with empty bank balance. Bloody good marketing idea - remember you heard it here first.
ps almost forgot but we would have to buy all the Directors a new car as well out of the money.🙄

Re: 50 mil
Yes, you've hit the nail on the head. We will get more income in the Prem but we will also face higher costs so the 'windfall' is not as massive as people think.
Of the £30m in the first season, I reckon £10m will be swallowed up by additional wages and signing on fees.
That still leaves us with £20m to pay off the £5m debts, for transfer fees and to put money aside in case we get relegated.
The £10m parachute payments are irrelevant as they will be swallowed up by the increased Premiership wage bill. Which is actually what it designed to do.

Re: 50 mil
It is negative, but entirely to be expected because it is the model favoured by almost every side that has got promoted to the Premier League.
Wigan spent a little money, but nothing like the amount they earned from promotion, while others like Reading and Watford have hardly spent a penny (Relative to prices in the Premiership).
I would be happy for us to adopt such a model as the squad that returned to the Championship would, without a doubt, be one of the strongest sides in that league rather than a debt crippled wreck like so many sides relegated in recent years.
Relegation is by no means a certainty if we were to spend less than £3 million, as I believe there are a few clubs at the bottom of the Premier League who promoted Championship sides would give a good game. A couple of fortunately timed games against the top sides when they rest players for Europe and you can even push well into mid table, a la Pompey and their wins over Manchester United, Liverpool etc.

Re: 50 mil
30 mil for a season with two lots of 10 mill after that, i'd spend the minimum i could get away with on squad numbers, improve training facilities at springfields,
keep investing in young talent thro the academy, we already have an agreement with man u on local lads,
then if n when we'd came down we'd have no worries about strengthening with the best in the championship for our next attempt,
Even if we yo-yo'd for a few years it would'nt matter the club would go from strength to strength,
make the supporters club back into a club for the fans, by moving both the shop n offices back into the rent free stands....

Re: 50 mil
Not negative uncle , just dont want to see my team come back down 12 months later in debt having to sell our new players for the usual big loss as seems custemary with most promoted teams who have been religated .
im not saying dont invest , im just saying dont end up a financial statistic thats all . I take it you would spend the lot and plunge us into the same trouble as many teams in our division , let leeds be a lesson to us all.
