Cardiff City TV money:


Cardiff City are right to panic, the scenarios that come with relegation to League One are frightening


There are a number of very worrying scenarios that could play out if Cardiff cannot haul themselves out of trouble


At present, Cardiff bank somewhere between £8m-£9m in TV money in the Championship, but that figure will be significantly cut in the third tier, with less TV cash filtering its way down to League One.



Under the terms of the EFL's current TV rights package, which runs until 2024, clubs in the Championship all earn £2.5m each, as well as a 'solidarity package' of around £4.5m.

There's then a few top-ups for clubs depending on how many times their matches are broadcast. These one-off payments for each match can range from £10,000 to £150,000 depending on whether that team happens to be playing home or away.

However, while clubs in League One still get the base payment of £2.5m, their solidarity payment is much lower, standing at an estimated £700,000.

Relegation will subsequently wipe at least a couple of million pounds straight off the club's revenue.
