The guys played a large part in turning the premier league into the biggest sports league in the world. He has helped make clubs obscene amounts of money. Everton have benefited from this massively as have all the other clubs. Its a bit of a false equivalency to compare him to agents who haven’t added any value to the league or clubs.

Has he really though? He only started with the PL in 1999 and by that time it was already a juggernaut. The increase in TV funds have come from the demand of overseas markets who themselves can charge for it behind a paywall and domestically the fact that rival companies that are bidding to win the rights knowing how much income it can pull in from it.

I don't think it was him driving the price up.
 

Unbelievable.
So he did the job he was paid handsomly to do and now deserves a quarter of million from 20 pl clubs?!
Do me a favour.

As many have said, this money if paid should go to charities.
