Barnsley boss Keith Hill claims that the parachute payment system is "rewarding failure".

The Tykes lost 2-1 at Blackburn, who have spent heavily since relegation to the Championship, on Tuesday and Hill does not feel the teams are competing on a level playing field.

"I've never been rewarded for doing anything wrong or being relegated," he told 91�ȱ� Radio Sheffield.

"Clubs that get relegated get rewarded financially, how does that make sense?"

He added: "A long time ago teams like Bradford and Barnsley overspent when they were in the Premier League but it's not like that anymore. Teams don't need these solidarity payments.

"They've invested £8m in one player to replace a player that they spent over £2m on.

"It hurts so much that we've lost that match in that way, it angers me."

Barnsley sit in 17th in the Championship with seven points from six games.
