Leeds United’s loss in the Championship play-off final meant missing out on a guaranteed income of at least £140 million over the next three years.



Their financial situation is further complicated by transfer bills they need to settle this summer.
Despite receiving their second year of parachute payments, they still owe other clubs £190 million in transfer fee instalments, with only £2 million expected from player sales.
Football finance expert Kieran Maguire noted that while cash flow could be a challenge, funding from owners 49ers and player sales should help them through.
Additionally, Leeds must adhere to Financial Fair Play regulations, allowing losses of up to £61 million over a rolling three-year period.
Championship clubs voted to extend the three-year limit to £41.5 million due to inflation.
Other clubs, like Burnley, Sheffield United, and Luton Town, are also navigating financial challenges and opportunities, such as new stadium funding and takeover talks.
Sheff Utd, in particular, faces a precarious financial situation but remains optimistic about their sustainability.
West Bromwich Albion and Norwich are adjusting to financial changes post-relegation, while Stoke City aims to compete without parachute payments.
