Sky have been ridiculous to listen to all week...like they've ever cared about fans of the other clubs...they cater to 2 sets of fans (Liverpool and United), because they're the 2 with the big fan base who'll pay for their product...
They talk about "fairness in football" and "competition"...haha thats laughable....is the Premier league fair competition?...sure technically anyone can win it, anyone can finish Top 4.....all you have to do is build your team with a transfer budget of 40m, while the top clubs spend 300m...all you have to do is win games even though the match officials are biased towards the big clubs...all you have to do is keep producing young talent because the big clubs have just taken your best player and sat him on their bench just to stop him doing any damage to them...all you have to do is not get injuries or fade through tiredness towards the end of the season when you've a small squad and the big clubs have had the luxury of rotating their players all season...
We've had about 30 years of the Premier league now....and only once has a team outside the big clubs won it (Blackburn were big spenders when they won it)...even 'Big 6' Spurs haven't won it...
But yeah, it's fair competition, and what football is all about..
I'm not sure all the maths there is right. If you look at last season, Norwich, who finished last got £96m and Liverpool received £153m and the teams in between received differing amounts on a sliding scale.
Now if Norwich choose to come up and either not spend any money or give their players massive contracts, that's their decision. In terms of prize money if Norwich had finished higher, they would have received more money. That's not the case in many leagues. If you look globally at leagues a cross the last 30 years, many only have 2 different winners, sometimes 3 or 4. The Premier league has had 7. FFP actually makes it harder for teams to challenge the top 4, not the Premier league, it actually has one of the best distributions of revenue across all of the leagues in the world.
Looking at past Premier League winners, Manchester United had not one a league title since 1967 when they first won the Premier League in 1993, they had been knocking on the door for a few seasons, but they were not considered a huge club at the time, they were a historically big club. Arsenal had gone 7 years without winning the league, Chelsea had come up from the 4th division, Man City have been down to the 4th division as well and Leicester won the league and have never been part of a big 4, big 5 or big 6.
FFP is what is causing the issues we have now as it stops another club doing what Man Utd, Chelsea and Man City have done, all these clubs "bought" the title one way or another.
