The inside track on the football stories that matter
Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness has admitted he is worried for the losing team in the Championship play-off final as Leeds United prepare to take on Southampton., the 66-year-old – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – revealed it will be “heartbreaking” for whichever side misses out on an instant return to the Premier League.
The Whites booked their place at Wembley following a convincing 4-0 victory over Norwich City, while the Saints secured a 3-1 win over West Brom.the winning side could earn more than £305million over the next three seasons if they avoid relegation in their first campaign back in the Premier League.Wyness revealed it’s tradition for the two finalists to agree the losing side receives all the gate money due to the financial rewards on offer to the winner.“That’s going to be a very tough game.
“We all know it’s the most profitable game in football. Believe me, it’s heartbreaking to get that far and then lose.“The usual deal normally gets done, which I did with Fulham, where you normally call up and say to your opposite number ‘Okay, whoever wins, you give your gate money to the losing team’.
