How much income do championship clubs get compared to League one?

I know the premier league money is crazy and something like £100m for last place, but can’t seem to find any figures for the championship online?

Trying to get a feel for what our finances would look like and if we could compete.

About all i could find was this

Prize money is a basic award per club of £2.3million and solidarity payment £4.5million.

The TV money on offer doesn’t seem likely to add more than 1–2m to the most popular clubs on TV the most.

Prize money for finishing top appears around 4–600k.

So all up, a rough estimate of 9m.

Contrast that for the club finishing bottom of the top league (premier league) which seems close to 100m!
 
Right so I know this is sort of merging the other thread but would it be enough to begin building a stadium?
 
Could we afford to compete in the Championship with 5500 "home" fans?

Bournemouth compete in the premier league with a capacity of 11,329. If we did get promoted I'm sure the 5500 would also increase. Lets go up first.

Bournemouth have an owner pumping millions upon millions into the club though whereas we are operating a self sustainable model
 
doubt it

we would have to try better players to survive so transfer fees and wages too
Possibility: Promotion, sacrifice squad strength to buy into the Ricoh, get relegated, play in league 1 with partial ownership of Ricoh and a much stronger financial situation overall.

The accounts would suggest otherwise.

We are reasonably self funding, as long as we keep finding a Maddison or a Baylis every season.
It would help if Barcelona bought Callum Wilson
For £100million though.
 
doesn't even cover the average Championship wage bill difference compared to League 1. The median (take out relegated prem clubs and newly promoted league 1 clubs) seems to be around the 22m per year mark.

Why would an article on what promotion is worth talk about wages? That’s up to the clubs. You could keep the same wage bill if you wanted, the question wasn’t “what does it cost to be competitive in the Championship?”
 
If we did get to The Championship, any players we then had to sell would fetch a higher price than they now do, due to the illogical mindset of buyers, Bristol city centre half £20m (how many on here can name him, or would recognise him from a mugshot, off the top of their head?!)

was more for the OP and his question of where we would stand in Championship and competitiveness.

Could we just build a stadium stand by stand, just fit us super fans in for a bit till we have more cash.

Just charge £30k a ST. Job done

Again, I don't think the accounts back up your assertion.

I said self funding, not competing for promotion, the outgoings on players like Godden, and wages on good players like Allen etc, are to allow us to challenge, if we are happy to just survive I think our youth policy, and selling those players on, will allow us to plod on indefinitely, however, I'm sure the fans would grow tired of that.

We're not self-funding. We can only "plod on" if the owners continue to support the club financially.
