the latest £5.136bn
TV rights deal between Sky/BT and the Premier League works out at
about £10m for each and every PL match - of which fans who attend as extras
to provide "the atmosphere" can expect to enjoy not one penny's
worth of benefit.
At most clubs, all of that grotesque excess will go straight into the pockets of the players and their agents, the management and the directors. If they had the faintest sense of decency and equity, they should be paying the fans to turn up and provide the TV directors with their cutaway shots of grown men in the grip of the emotions of triumph and despair.
