Wall Street Journal Article

Thanks Alaric, interesting tidbits:

"Last season, however, those equal shares from overseas TV money were worth $52 million per club. For a club like Sunderland, which finished at the bottom of the standings last season, that represented the largest individual payout of the $125 million total windfall it received from the league. That is more than twice as much as Real Madrid earned from UEFA for winning the Champions League

...Leading the charge is Emirates Marketing Project"

No surprise that the nouveau riche foreigners of Emirates Marketing Project are trying to upset the fine English game ... City were down in the doldrums 10 years ago, now they think they deserve some special slice of the pie. Driven by Spaniards and Middle Easterners.
 
Proposal was effectively thrown out in October. Still possible the other 14 will eventually agree a revised distribution based on final League positions each season.

If Sky had their way City, Liverpool, United and Woolwich would be playing each other every week, if they have to play someone else the weaker the better for the worldwide tv audience. The British fan will go the way of the British working man once they become uneconomical.

People are switching off?

Only in uk, still mega bucks worldwide with "new fans". They don't want a runaway winner, just the same teams with the big subscriber numbers fighting it out to the last couple of games.
