    Looking forward to it when we sell everyone and replace them with a bunch of £100K kids! But are we actually allowed this time, or will someone be in to call us all w@nkers?

    Think Sheron was the same as well with all the add ons. Back then we got £5 million for promotion, like buying a striker for £60 million in todays money. John Dennis didn't piss about :)

    I'm meaning in the amount of money for getting up not inflation i.e he spent £1.5m out of the £5m on one player, 30% of the war chest. You get £200m for going up these days...

    No he didn't. No fishtanks either. But Carlos Tevez buys bags of chips for more than what Georgi cost. Brad Potts was supposedly £2 mill.

    Are we actually the best team in England, £ for £? I mean, we spend so little money to achieve what we do, and do so without incurring debt, that we're a footballing equivalent of Pacquiao?

    I think going up has riddled my mind.

    Went out to an upmarket Asian restaurant where they have Thornbridge beers on tap, perfectly kept, with my missus and a friend, so was half cut by half time! Got promotion confirmed in the taxi on the way home. Woke up this morning with a sore head and a sore wallet!

    It wasn't quite that little was it? Around £10 million I thought? Plus another £5 million or so in parachute payments.

    Anyone any idea how much the championship is worth next year in TV money ? As far as I am aware it's 7 million plus but I'm not sure what new TV deals have come into force .

    Sure Dennis said £5m in his book, someone could confirm.

    No they said there was a 6 month option to buy Patrick’s share. Much earlier this season GG told me the option was still open. Ive no idea about the councils share. That could well be the hold up.

    There wasn't parachute payments at the time we got relegated.

    Thanks for that Gally. I wasn't aware of that fact. Like a lot of LA's Barnsley Council are usually quite astute regarding major investment and tangible assets. Councils are often advised by some very knowlegable private sector finance specialists
    who direct them where to invest any " reserves". They very rarely make a wrong call. I was in a meeting in the Cabinet rooms in Westminster in 2008 when a message was brought into the room by a Civil Servant regarding the Icelandic Bank crash. A couple of attendees, one from Kent County Council and one from a Leicestershire based Authority drained of colour. It transpired that their LA's had loads of money invested in Iceland. Although they come in for some criticism in the Chronicle, in the scheme of things, BMBC are one of the better LA's in the UK. Probably holding their 50% share to cash out if we have
    another period of austerity, although like a lot, I hope they are doing it to preserve the heritage of Barnsley Football Club.

    I could have sworn there was parachute payments at that time, but it was a relative pittance to the sums of today(a few million from memory, over 2 years?). I might have a touch of "Mandella effect" though...

    That's certainly what I remember. Hence why we couldn't hold on to Hignett after the end of the second season after relegation.

    There was. There's been some sort of solidarity / parachute payment since the premier league was formed in 1992. Here's what it was for each season until 2006:

    Season Parachute Payment (£m)
    1992/93 0.75m
    1993/94 0.74m
    1994/95 0.43m
    1995/96 0.44m
    1996/97 0.97m
    1997/98 1.49m
    1998/99 1.74m
    1999/00 3.65m
    2000/01 3.07m
    2001/02 3.95m
    2002/03 4.75m
    2003/04 5.14m
    2004/05 6.57m
    2005/06 6.46m
    2006/07 6.48m

    Obviously it's much different now from what we got.

    How many teams in the Championship next season will be receiving parachute payments?
