Derby County deal expected to collapse

The financial structure of professional football is all wrong. We’ve had huge sums pumped into it by Sky but the majority is hoovered up by the top few clubs, the rest pray they can stay in the premier league. Everyone else survives on scraps but the inflationary effect on player salaries of Sky and latterly the likes of City creates a massive imbalance that isn’t good for the game.

The genie is out of the bottle now but we should have had a salary cap and rules to keep clubs more or less sustainable a long time ago. The clubs and the premier league won’t do it so imho we need legislation.

Tbf mate, isn’t TV revenue shared equally across all clubs in the PL? I agree that the big clubs have a huge advantage but is that not just because they have a bigger fan base and are able to get better sponsorship deals?

The impact of CL football is huge mind as I seem to think that it’s worth something like £60-80m a season

Plenty of fan bases have took the piss at our expense the last 5 or so years. We’ve had all the crying on Netflix and premier league and you fucked it up shit thrown at us. I don’t think there’s such a thing as the football community these days.

I think there is. It's part of the football community ethos to take the piss out of each other (the best members are top notch at self mockery). The Poznan at the SoL Vs Man U is a classic example.

It isn't. Only the overseas rights are shared evenly. Domestic rights payments are partly based on league position and number of televised matches in the UK.

Was that the EFL or the administrators?

Not sure how it works there. Do the administrators put people forward to the EFL? I know the administrator chooses their preferred bidder, which is probably whoever offers the most to creditors, but you'd think that ends up with this kind of eggs in one basket situation where all efforts have been focused on one party who's fallen at an advanced hurdle.

This set of administrators that Mel Morris put in I believe. Its all over the media again today saying Ashley is in the wings willing to step in.

Am I the only one who doesn’t give a sh*t if Derby disappear

It’s going to take a few high profile clubs disappearing to affect some kind of change in how clubs manage their finances - f*ck ‘em

Pride Park still being owned by Morris is a major stumbling block to any deal.

Only two spelling mistakes, not bad.

I thought you were an Oxford fan that's all, not trying to derail anything.

Does that chart really show Liverpool, for example, were shown live 29 times out of 38 league games? Crazy. And also crazy seeing how many times Newcastle were shown proportionally to their league position, especially when compared to Southampton.
