The play-off final’s prize fund will have a much greater impact for Nottingham Forest than their opponents Huddersfield, it has been suggested.
The Reds compete in the Wembley showpiece on Sunday as they look to get back into the top flight for the first time in more than 20 years. And the Premier League’s global audience means there is a big financial windfall that comes with earning promotion.
But with Huddersfield still receiving parachute payments from when they were relegated to the Championship in 2019, football finance expert Kieran Maguire reckons the potential £170m prize pot will be much more important for Forest. He told the Mirror: “Huddersfield are in receipt of parachute payments still, whilst I would say Forest are much closer to the limit in terms of Financial Fair Play (FFP) so they've got less wiggle room. Forest have had to rely on player sales, debt write-offs.
