Many teams are recording significant losses over one or two seasons in an attempt to gain promotion to the Premier League
...
Figures from Deloitte show that parachute payments, designed to help relegated clubs absorb big losses in revenue caused by dropping out of the top flight, are having a significant impact on the revenue inequality within the Championship.
Parachute payments made up more than a third of the Championship's total revenue in 2017-18 - compared to just 9% when they were introduced in 2001-02 - meaning a third of the Championship's money now comes directly from the Premier League.
The average club receiving parachute payments had a total revenue of £13m in 2001-02 against £10m for those without.
In 2017-18 those receiving parachute payments had a total revenue of £51m against £21m for those without.
