Yeah, think there’s a bit of confusion, the solidarity payments are paid to all champ clubs. I might be wrong but don’t think there’s anything specific for play off losing finalist
Looks like some people have taken a tweet from some football finance expert and got confused about the standard solidarity payments. Somehow some coming up with 35 million on twitter
I think he was comparing winning and losing so for losing you get the 7 million (which is the same as every other championship club). Fans have then taken this as meaning an extra 7 million which isn't true

To be fair the graphic does say "if lose play-off". That's very misleading, as although technically true it doesn't actually matter if you lose, or even get into, the play-offs.
I was thinking "isn't that what everyone gets?" but the wording was making me question myself.
