The latest wage figures are out. The AVERAGE wage of a PL footballer is now over £50k P.W. What chance do small clubs like ours have ? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42130297Man United lead the way with a WEEKLY wage bill of £5.241 MILLION ! So thats over a quarter of a BILLION pounds per year. Yet their fans will tell you that Man City and Chelsea "buy the league"

You've changed your tune! Back in August we argued about this exact same point - www.yellowsforum.co.uk/thread/26078/ridiculus-transfer-fees-spurs?page=2 - and you said that the inequality in football had always been there, and was in fact worse before Sky! For what it's worth, I agree with your post today. It is ridiculous that Premiership clubs are paying more on wages in a week than your average League One club's annual turnover. But it's all a consequence of TV inflation, and the vast, vast majority of that money being syphoned off by the Premier League.

And where do the Tv companies get the money from? They get companies to pay to advertise their products during a live broadcast of a match and the fees go up with the type of fixture so man utd v man city per minute fee is higher than crystal palace v dirty hudds.

Immaterial when compared with sky subscriptions. To June 2017 :- Advertising £826 million. Subscriptions £10 billion £829 million
