Maybe you're right, such a shame that the big boys are so narrow minded, shame they don't realise the importance of the pyramid below the PL, lose that and the league somewhat loses it's appeal - It's where capitalism and football (and sport) don't work. You grow and grow, outgrow the...
Don't you sometimes wish they'd just go and do it though? Leave the English league to return to some sort of sanity? I think the championship is the 4th most watched in Europe and most of the clubs in it are p1ssing money right left and centre, sad really.
He has a point though - In the UK, some championship games pull in bigger audiences than some PL games. Even the avg PL game pulls approximately 2.5x the championship audience (again, in the UK) so it just doesn't look like the EFL are able to negotiate a good deal.
One should always remember...
