So with Burnley, QPR, Boro and now Wolves, that's four times in the space of six weeks, we'll be televised (four games out of nine).

This must be absolutely unprecendented.

Apart from people being screwed getting home from Burnley on a Sunday, the changes don't seem too inconvenient, either, and of course its all CASH in the playing budget.

Suddenly we are popular - the style of football we play is easy on the eye, but this still comes as a bit of a shock after being in the wilderness

Top work by the club having the vision to invest in media-friendly technology that allows SKY to just turn up and plug and play. Seems to be reaping dividends bigtime. Oh, and I guess being top of the league doesn't do any harm either

Big risk by SkySports, given our customary October slump.

It's not all that surprising really, Sky appear to have seriously upped their amount of FL coverage since losing the rights to the Champions League, and we're top of the pile at the minute, so naturally gonna be featuring heavily.

This.

Flying back to the UK on New Year's Day, so the move means I'll now miss the game.

These changes f*ck over many more people than the few smug "great, now I can go to the game" brigade.
A Shame for those who now have to miss the game.

How much do we get for each one? More specifically, what would four games mean for a signing bonus for Calleri?

I think it's £65K, but not absolutely sure.

I think it's £80k - I actually talked to our CEO about TV games a few months ago, generally feel is clubs actually lose out on the day due to additional costs and fewer people turning up. Clubs do have a choice in the games, but it apparently doesn't go down well if you say no......

As per the Argus today:-

Championship clubs receive £100,000 for home games and £10,000 for away fixtures when matches are televised.
