Queens Park Rangers and Fulham have both been greatly assisted following the confirmation of this season's paracute payment amounts.

Parachute payments are designed to bridge the gap in finances between the Premier League and the Championship, by providing relegated teams with a gradually decreasing percentage of Premier League funding over a maximum of three years.

This is to help recently-relegated teams adjust to a less fruitful financial climate in the second-tier of English football.

The money is split between an equal share amount to the relegated sides, and an amount based on overseas television money.

According to the official Premier League website, in the 2016-17 season, QPR were handed £31.1m after being relegated in May 2015 from the Premier League.

This means that QPR will only have two more years remaining on parachute payments before they run out.

Fulham will only have one more season with additional payments after failing to get promoted through the play-offs this season.

They received just under £16.3m after being relegated in 2014. This was the same for Reading, Wigan Athletic and Cardiff who received the same amount.

Elsewhere, last season's relegated teams Newcastle, Aston Villa and Norwich City all received £40.9m.
