Glass Half Full Or Half Empty

Parachute payments were updated a couple of years ago.

In the 2017-18 season the Premier League paid £243m in Parachute Payments split amongst 8 clubs, and £100m in Solidarity Payments split amongst the remaining 64 clubs.

Geeze.

That's some distortion.  Cakes and crumbs.

Capitalism gone wild.

SA.

Listening to the price of football podcast the other day, I think they said the tv revenue split was 50%-25%-12.5%-12.5% amongst the top 4 divisions pre-Premier League.

Now the top division gets about 85% of the money and League 2 less than 1%.
