Deloitte have crunched the numbers on what the Championship Play-Off Final and victory would mean for both Aston Villa and Fulham this season.
With a Wembley route often regarded as the more magical way of achieving promotion into the Premier League, it is certainly the more financially beneficial with the national stadium riches at stake for both clubs and especially the winner.

Simple human decency can be in short supply sometimes in football. Especially on Twitter and Facebook, the tribalism, the trolling and even hatred that pervades both platforms can be a bit disheartening.
One of the things that has certainly shone through this season is the resolve of Steve Bruce. The manager has battled through the most difficult time in his life following the death of his parents within an 88 day period this year.

Doing a bit of spying on the other semi-final in anticipation of a meeting in the final, it left me thinking there are a couple of ways we could set up against Fulham at Wembley.
In the first leg at Pride Park, Derby suffocated the Cottagers. They pressed high, restricted their opponent’s chances in front of goal, and took a lead into the second leg.
With a lead to maintain, Gary Rowett’s side sat a lot deeper at Craven Cottage. However, with the home team chasing the game, the Rams had a number of counter-attacks they could have taken advantage of. At times, Fulham’s defence looked to be creaking and there are clearly gaps to exploit. So, should we press high, or sit deep and catch them out on the break?
