Vital Champions League
Just looking at the news surrounding the new sky TV deal.

As a Championship club we currently get 2.3m in basic TV money plus 4.5m Prem solidarity payment with an addition 100k for every televised home game (120k for Sunday games and 140k for Thursday or Friday games) plus 10k for any televised away games. All mid week red buttons no club gets anything extra for which the clubs are not happy about.

Next season when the new proposed deal comes in for championship basic money goes up to 2.9m only a 600k increase and 19 of the 24 clubs are unhappy as apparently they agreed in princiole to more money for less give aways but EFL allowed Sky to get a pile more games for 5m less. They are threatening legal action as they weren't consulted as the terms changed. They feel like the tv rights have been sold cheaper than rights to other less popular leagues and red button is harming attendances for no reward.

The guy in charge of negotiations is the idiot who wanted to make four 20 team divisions and let all the Prem youth teams into the JPT so no suprised he's mucking it up.

The league one clubs current get 730k in tv money and about 675k in solidarity payments their tv money will rise by 150k to 880k. They also get 30k for home televised TV games and 10k for away games. They apparently are happy with that.

The idiot is Shaun Harvey, one of Ken Anderson's best mates. This tool claimed about a month ago Anderson was doing a good job. Thankfully this bloke has now been forced out, or at least he will be gone in a few weeks.

I can't get my head around how he agreed to give all the red button games away effectively for free. I would've thought that the red button addition meant teams loss attendance risk would be offset with extra financial reward per game.
 

Steve Gibson is right they are all gaming the system to spend way more than they should be able to but the nature of these things is the loopholes may be immoral but totally legal. The FA need to simplify the rules and remove all of the loopholes or let teams do whatever they want - this halfway house where we have rules, but teams can break the spending limits legally via the back door to escape punishment is a joke.
