Birmingham City set for cash boost with Premier League to agree on deal

Birmingham City are set for a cash boost with the Premier League and EFL close to agreeing on a so-called 'New Deal' for clubs. Among the changes are merit-based payments depending on where clubs finish in the Championship. Some portions of solidarity funding from the Premier League to the EFL will now depend on where a club finishes in the League. Blues' owners Knighthead will be watching the developments with a keen eye.
