[Non-AFCB] £1bn Premier League TV deal

[StuBramley]

The Premier League is reportedly set to pocket another £1bn in its next TV deal.

The Football League's current deal is worth £264m, of which 80% goes to the Championship, 12% to League One and 8% to League Two.

Level playing field?
Integrity of the competition?

Discuss.

How can they justify the way the fees are paid out???

It can't be good for the future of the game by making the richest richer and the poorest poorer, after all there are enough smaller clubs in trouble. I sometimes think they are trying to off load the league one and League two teams whilst keeping hold of the more lucrative sides, why can't they change the way they look at football for once, it must be better for the game to have 92 healthy clubs with local fans going along to support local teams, rather than having a select number of clubs getting their revenue from tv subscriptions or the select fans who have a largew enough income to afford a ticket?? The way things are going there will soon be a generation of fans who will no longer know the joy and despair of an afternoon at the football, if this happens it will be a loss not only to the game but to our culture as a whole...
Hope that wasn't too preachy chaps!!!
