Premier Lig'de düşen takımlara yönelik gelecek 3 yıl için "paraşüt ödemesi" ve Premier lig takımlarına dağıtılacak "Dayanışma Ödülü"  tutarı belirlendi. Premier Lig yönetimi bunun için 372 milyon Sterlinlik bir paketi uygulamaya alacağını duyurdu.

The Premier League has announced a £372 million funding package for the Football League that provides increased solidarity and parachute payments to its clubs.

 The deal is worth £124 million a season for the next three seasons, giving each Championship club £2.2 million per year, League One clubs £335,000 and League Two clubs a total of £225,000 a year. Those clubs relegated from the Premier League will get parachute payments now worth £48.4 million over four years.

The moves were ratified at the Football League's Extraordinary General Meeting at Derby County's Pride Park Stadium and will see the competition’s own rules on areas such as transparency of ownership aligned with those of the Premier League. Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said: “It is a fact of life that we welcome three of their number each season and helping make sure those clubs coming up are prepared - both on and off the pitch - for life in the Premier League was something we felt these measures would achieve." The new and amended rules cover changes to financial reporting, ground criteria, the Owners' and Directors' Test, the public disclosure of club ownership, third party interests in players and players' contracts.

Clubs that will now be forced to disclose the identity of their owners include Leeds, whose chairman Ken Bates lives in Monaco as a tax exile and has declined to reveal the club's offshore owners for years. Leeds tried to pre-empt the changes by announcing on July 24 that the club’s parent company, Leeds City Holdings Limited, has five shareholders with four holding 27.15% collectively and FSF Limited holding 72.85% of the shares but this will not be enough to satisfy the new rules. Now, the identity of any individuals owning 10% or more in any club must be identified.

 Football League chairman Greg Clarke says the new regulatory framework strengthens the professionalism and good governance of the league clubs and will also stamp out third party interests as a new standard player contract in line with the one used by the EPL is brought in. "Centrally, we will be doing everything possible to support our clubs through a difficult economic environment," said Clarke.
