    I have been reading this morning where Fulham are preparing a £15 million bid for a player from Liverpool & when you consider that parachute payments were designed to ease wage payments after relegation from the Premier league it makes a mockery of fair competition as clearly they will be using this extra income to fuel a promotion challenge this coming season , it is conceivable that Sheffield United & West Brom will follow suit & invest heavily with funds that most other clubs are not privvie to , it is just not a level playing field .

    They are probably hedging their bets.

    We don't need to compete. The strategy of spunking parachute payments on transfer fees and big contracts is a risky strategy and not what the payment is designed for. The ones that have got it wrong have dropped divisions or flirt with administration.

    There definitely needs to be clear boundaries on what clubs can and can't do. You'd have thought the respective club secateurs would be au fait with all the rules. Hopefully they would be able to explain it in leylandii's terms.

    You know what they say after all, a bird in the hand...

    That's why Dane Val and other backroom staff have been cherry picked.. because of the magnificent achievement of last season.. Was it just a one off, we shall see.. also be interesting how Dane and Val do at their new club's. Were
    they the miracle workers or just in the right place at the right time..?
    Time will tell

    Parachute payments should be scrapped, no longer if ever are they used for the original intentions.

    prem been going long enough now for teams to protect themselves from relegation via reduced contracts etc.

    Parachute payments should only be used to fulfil existing contracts and wages imo.

    15 million on one player looks reckless to me if true. I much prefer slow, gradual strengthening of the entire squad over time than a one off eye catching recruitment. Keep building slowly is the best way for Barnsley.

    When Tottenham sold Bale. They rebuilt the whole squad with the £80 million and it lasted them a good five years before they went stale. Regarding parachute payments if they're spent wisely it can make you into an established Premier League Club. Eventually Norwich will find their feet.
