Re: Season 2017/2018

It might do. From what I understand over half the teams would actually receive more revenue. The idea may be to benefit the massive clubs but the solution is for 35% of the cash to be allocated by league position leaving less for those who finish towards the bottom but more for those above.

I'm split. Part of the strength of the Premier League is that the teams further down are more competitive than their counterparts in other leagues. Spain has the two huge clubs, then a couple of big clubs but by the time you get half-way down it drops in quality considerably. This is in part because the lower clubs have greater income due to the Premier League model.

On the other hand 35% being spread out on performance isn't a massive injustice especially since the top clubs have a point that it's they who are the draw for international audiences.

This is how the domestic revenue is shared out, partly on performance, why should it be different for foreign revenue?
