Premier League v Championship finances 21:31 - Sep 29 with 950 viewsGroo



An indication of the gap.

I hate the Premier League, the monster created by greed. If we want to maintain a high standard we must get back. If we stay down we will inevitably in my opinion go down at some point, so we have to aim high.

When I was a kid the TV money came from the BBC and ITV, dwarfed by the current money available.

Every game played saw the gate being shared between the two teams played, therefore the bigger teams with bigger crowds over the season made more money, which gave them an advantage but overall most teams were on a fairly level playing field, where good managers and shrewd player acquisitions made the difference. The players were mainly from the UK as well.

The start of the downfall was the bigger clubs changing this system so the gate receipts went to the home team, the slide to the greed state we are at now started then in my opinion, when the league bent to that demand.
