You mean La Liga that has the same two winners with Valencia thrown in each year? I'd hate that to happen to the Prem.

So it's a financial issue rather than a moral one in your eyes?

and whoa, sorry vidschin, but i think for those who do not pay much attention to la liga, it might have helpful to answer my question than insult my intelligence

In the 2007-2008 Premier League season Chelsea earned £30.9 million in UK TV rights and prize money for finishing 2nd.

In that same season Fulham finished 17th and earned £31.3 million.

When was the last time the gap between second and third place in the prem 24 points?

The top four in the prem has changed a fair bit during recent times, and also the second placed team.

Someone of even your limited intelligence can see how this is vastly different to La Liga.

This is last season's table* for La Liga's and the Premier League's TV rights for anyone who's interested:

*It's in Spanish but you can get the gist of it

Robbing Hoody.

The top 2 teams in liga both got 90 points + then there's a gap of 20 points between 2nd and 3rd then another ten points gap between 3rd and 4th

compare this to the premier league united had 80 points, chelsea & city both on 71 and arsenal on 68.

What actually has the money that both Barca and Real earn in TV rights got to do with the points difference between teams in La Liga

Good post.

Barca & RM get 140m a year
Real Sociedad get 12m

Fair?

Compared to the premier league where Blackpool atleast got into the mid 40m with their tv revenue and Utd with the largest having 68m.a difference of only 24 compared to a difference 128m in la liga between top and bottom club.

And how are the broadcasting rights revenues for games shown in this country distributed?

Every single club in the PL is given an equal amount each year, and then is paid on top for each match (that they feature in) that is broadcast live.

And how does that equate to the deal to sell the Premier League as a package overseas?

I am very intelligent

In my mind your opinion does not count as you do not even go to games.

Bye.

You don't have to pay much attention to La Liga to know that Barcelona and Real Madrid finish arund 20 points higher than the 3rd placed team every year.

Smooth as usual

Mr Chelsea (U3579)

Same winners every year though. The amount of points is moot. The same as here. The point side is irrelevant unless you're more interested in the battle for 4th/5th/6th.

What is the relevance of this

It should be pointed out that the £68.2m involves prize money. If you removed the prize money element from the equation you would find that the gap between United and Blackpool would be even closer. I think that there is a 800k difference in prize money for every place in the PL. So you could take away 16m, which would leave a difference of about 8m.

Not really. At least in England there is a chance of other teams winning the PL. In Spain the gap is so wide that no team has a realistic chance of bridging it - and with the current TV deals the gap will only widen.

I think Liverpool just came to terms with the fact that after 20 years they are no closer to winning the Premier League for a first time so instead have decided to back measures certain to kill it off.

So if Man U win again this season with only 5 points seperating the other 3 clubs. Is that the same as Barcelona winning the league with Madrid 3 points behind and the rest, a massive 20+ points behind the top 2?

It does not matter what people think is a "chance". The FACT of the matter is only there have 3 three different winners of the Prem in 16 years with Arsenal winning only three of those. Valencia have won it twice in the last sixteen.

You can tell yourself it better as a league but in reality it's a procession akin to that of Spain.

That is a ridiculous statement and does not hold a parallel or parity. Just silly really.

Just in case you havent noticed - we are talking about the impact of clubs negotiating their own TV deals. The 20 point gap illustrates that Real and Barca are light years ahead of the rest and will continue to pull away. The fact that it is closer in the PL shows that are system is better, if not completely fair. Its pretty simple stuff really.
