Not sure if already posted, but I thought it was interesting.

Considering we had the most games on TV, what would one expect. It would be wholly short sighted if the system was like this as it would destroy the competitive nature of the league, just like it has done in Spain.

Agree with Mystic. The winner takes all system you see in Spain makes for a more boring league.

Nah, that's different, I think.
The calculation on that table is done by simply providing teams the exact same amount of money per appearance, so it's actually taking a fair approach.
In Spain, Barca and Madrid negotiate TV contrats themselves, which means they get waaaay more PER appearance than any other team. Now that's taking the piss.

That's my understanding of it anyway..

Exactly, thats what I was saying, its ruined the competitive nature of La Liga, I think they're going to a shared model next year though.

No I'm saying that if the system was as the table shows, it would still be completely different to the Spanish one.

I think we're getting our wires crossed here, I wasn't referring to the table when complaining about the Spanish system.
