Wolves to make millions after Leeds United promotion to Premier League – finance expert explains
Wolves are set to earn a tidy sum after Leeds United and Burnley clinched promotion to the Premier League.
Next season’s Premier League line up is taking shape with 18 of the 20 teams now confirmed.
With just a few matches to go in both the top tier and the Championship, relegations and promotions have already been locked in. Southampton, rock bottom of the table all campaign long, became the first team in Premier League history to be relegated with as many as seven games to go. Leicester City then followed suit as the recent 1-0 defeat to Liverpool sealed their fate.
Ipswich Town are all but confirmed to be going down, too. To stay up, the Tractor Boys would need to win all five of their remaining matches and overturn a 20-goal difference swing to 17th-placed West Ham United.
Two of the three teams rising up from the Championship were confirmed on Easter Monday as Leeds United and Burnley won their games to move eight points clear of third-placed Sheffield United with two games to go. Leeds pummelled Stoke City 6-0 at Elland Road to seal promotion in style, while Burnley vitally saw off Sheffield United in a tense 2-1 win at Turf Moor.
