    Well, now the new tv deal is signed, with that much money they'll be giving season tickets away, won't they?

    And yet we'll still see clubs lower down the pyramid going out of business with debts equal to a week of a top Premiership player's wages.

    Makes my blood boil. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

    It'll all end up in player's pockets. Prize money and parachute payments will increase so clubs have more money so players will demand more. Clubs will realise that even though the money they receive has increased that they've given too much to the players and have no money so ticket prices etc will increase.

    Football will eventually eat itself.

    "each match is worth £10.2m"

    It's getting hard to continue to turn a blind eye to how unfair this is, both within football and within a greater social context. Football has grown too big, too unequal and too greedy for it to be "fun" any more. Maybe it's time we pulled the plug.

    What can be done though? Salary caps will never happen as people make too much money out of huge transfers. The home grown rule is just treated as a joke by the top clubs.

    What if there was a "European Super League" and the rest of us just got on with it without the stupid TV money the Man Utds, Liverpool's and Chelseas would get?

    The Premier League can go fck itself as far as I'm concerned. Lost interest in it a long time ago.

    Not until people, en masse (including pubs, clubs etc), start to cancel their Sky subscriptions will this madness end. As with any product, if people are prepared to pay high prices for the product, businesses will continue to charge high prices for their products.

    For me, football is like a bloody great long snake which, ravaged by hunger, has started to eat its own tail. Doomed in the long term.

    Probably not. We're all just going to get more and more unhappy about the state of the game.

    Or cancel our sky subs and all get android boxes. Maybe it's wrong, and I've never contemplated it previously. However, this really irks me now. 83% increase in the fee sky have paid. As if that's not going to impact on our subscription costs.

    86 million quid per club per season and thats just based on domestic rights they havent even sold the overseas right yet, which last time generated another 1.78 billion.. Scuadmore said that "Burnley are bigger economically than Ajax, which says a lot about how our league is made up,".

    now i might be the only one on here but i love watching the prem league much better than la Liga, Serie a or the Bundesliga. i dont mind paying £25 a month to watch it u get alot more than just football across all sky sports channels,

    only way to fix this is to hammer those Premier League teams who go into too much debt. And not just with fines - points deductions. chasing the dream by spending your future should not be an option. QPR for example should be bricking it. If / when they go down they should be refused entry into the Football League or deducted so many points that a second relegation is a certainty.

    also, a percentage of every transfer fee (5%?) should go into a fund which is spread out among lower league, amateur and grass roots football. (so the Bony transfer alone would have added around £1.5million. Also, undisclosed fees should be a no no too. how do we know how much money is shifting between clubs?
