Parachute payments could be drastically cut after Premier League clubs came to an agreement for a new way to filter cash into the Championship.
As it stands, relegated teams receive three payments that are divided as an equal share of broadcast revenue paid to Premier League clubs to help mitigate the huge drop in revenue that fails to cover the wage bills accumulated.
It means they can gamble on spending big to force their way back to the promised land also fuelling unsustainability across the Championship as other sides are forced to match their ambitions to have the best possible opportunity for promotion.
