Bit worried about 12 points for going into Admin. I'm waiting for the RFL to announce it is retrospective and dock us points next year.

Thread on TRL says no parachute payments...?

Afaik they mean going forward after this year. Parachute payment for us and London is one off due to change in structure. Should a team drop down next year or after they won't get a parachute payment.

As it has been said you can go into administration get 12 points deducted slide to the bottom of SL1 and still be in SL1 next year if you get in the top 4 of SL2 so not really a penalty is it!!

They just aren't calling it that and are instead giving us an increased central funding amount. Should a team drop down next year or after they wont get a increased central funding amount.

He also said we would be receiving around £750,000 to make sure we stay full time

True but that's our central funding. How much are the rest of the Championship clubs receiving as he said we and London are getting the larger slice

All their doing is merging the parachute payment into the central funding amount. In the FAQ about new structure it says increased central funding this year only. Iirc correctly top two in championship also get extra prize money this year to boost their central funding up to a similar amount. Hence why Featherstone sacked their coach and started signing players mid season when extra money was announced before nahaboo pulled out.

Central funding for championship is stupid under new system. how much you get depends on your finishing position the season before with team finishing top getting most and dropping approx 50k for each league position. Iirc in restructure proposal they were talking about 550k for top stepping down to 150k for bottom placed team. Notice how much were getting just happens to be pretty much the top amount plus an amount similar to what was being touted as the parachute payment.

Nowhere in that faq does it actually discuss the level of funding clubs will be receiving in 2015. Is that because final league standings haven't been decided yet?
I'm curious as to why it would be completely overlooked. And I want more info than just 'increased annual central funding'. I want numbers.

It doesn't mention figures in FAQ but it does in the t&a article. Specifically says central funding starts at 750k each for us and London and then a sliding scale down to 150k for bottom club.
