singe Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Much has been made, including today, of the finance side of the game. I think it is ilustrated by figiures here in a BBC articel saying Canaries will spend just for stability. When Norwich were in League one their annual turnover was £18m. This years it will be £75m. Ours is approx £3m per year. And boy did we miss out, it is expected to exceed £1.5billion per year when the next deal kicks in. There was a turnover of £46m at the start of the Premier League. An increase of 3,200% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EASTLEY Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 The main reason was supposedly to help the England team, unfortunately they then allowed premier league execs onto the board of the FA and it became as close to a closed shop as it could be.

Mr Stott thought we were one of the big clubs. I hope it does go tits up, could happen, even out the playing field and start again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True that. It was meant to result in less games for the top players, maybe including a winter break, but the £ signs appeared. Not surprising really as it was mainly about making money.

If you look at history, it was first and foremost about money. Only a couple of years before a break away was threatened by the top 10 clubs as they wanted more TV money.

Thats true but they did try to justify it by saying it would strengthen the England team something which it has failed spectacularly to do.

Latics_Fanatic Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 We were lucky enough to be involved in the setting up and formation of the premierleague. We were unlucky enough to not enjoy many benefits and be paying debts back 18 years later. Sod's Law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also tried but failed to get the FL TV deal tied to the Prem. TV deal. If the FL had listened to him, the gap wouldn't be as wide as it is.
