The richest game in football is upon us, but how much would a win at Wembley in the Championship play-off final be worth to Leeds United and Southampton?
Daniel Farke and Russell Martin are vying for promotion to the Premier League through the Championship play-offs.
Leeds United/Southampton would qualify for a third year of parachute payments if they spent at least two seasons in the Premier League following promotion from the Championship.Given what’s at stake for the winner and loser of the Championship play-off final, it’s easy to see why the highly-anticipated match at Wembley usually ends up being a damp squib.
Of the past six play-off final losers, only two sides finished in the top six the following season, with Aston Villa and Brentford bucking the trend. Interestingly, each side had better luck the second time around and got promotion a year later than they had initially hoped. This is without TV money being taken into account. To give Leeds and Southampton an inkling of what they could be in for, the money earned through TV revenue this season in the Premier League has ranged from £8.4m to £15.2m .Some naive supporters of Leeds United and Southampton may feel that there are no negatives to come through their Premier League return earning them £140m.
