Football league clubs want more money (article)

Comments

  • Who can blame them.

    How can it be fair that Man U get £158 million for calling their training ground a new name and wearing a sponsored training kit when clubs like Bury could fold for a debt of £1 million?

    Football is well and truly f**ked up!
  • And rightly so, the amount of money the Prem gets compared to the whole of the football league is ridiculous.
  • The thing is, if the Championship gets more money the clubs will simply pay more in wages to the same pool of players who are not seen as being quite good enough for the Premier League.

    Ticket prices won't fall. Clubs will still spend beyond their means and face financial ruin when they get things wrong And round we go again.

    Quite depressing really.

    I agree . Off_it is probably right.
    In Germany the TV money is more equally shared out across the top 2 divisions. So why don't they all spend like hell on players wages? They don't have a wage cap, so the answer must be the ownership model, with 51% in the hands of members -fans. Which of course we are not easily going to implement here. But 10% would be a start.
  • Like many I think football sold its soul many years ago.
  • seems fair, theres been a lot of outcry against the increase in parachute payments as it'll affect clubs like ours and make it far harder to compete
