New BT Sport Deal

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24879138

Just read this article. As far as the TV side of it goes I'm not too bothered, I've never had sky and I'm not too fussed about watching champions league anyway. Plus BT have said a selection of matches will be free to air too.

This bit caught my attention though:

"The contract is worth more than double the current arrangement, which could mean significantly more money for clubs in the two European competitions."

This seems like it's going to widen the gap even further between the top teams and the also rans, especially with the FFP rules kicking in. As much as I'm dying for Leeds to get promoted, do we really have anything to look forward to if/when we do go up (in terms of competing)?

It's getting to the point where I wish the top 4-6 teams in the premiership would all finally sign up to this hypothetical 'European Super League' that they've been threatening the FA with for years and just bog off. At least then we could have a top division that is unpredictable and where all the money isn't kept amongst just a few teams. I feel like even an American style salary cap would be a good thing, make it so every team has the same budget to spend on players.

It will never happen though, it's changed to being all about money for the companies that own the clubs rather than the glory of competition.
