You would think the FA would want it to go right to the very bottom, instead of going into Aguero's back pocket why not use it for the potential England players in the next 15 - 20 years etc.
Alas, the current fad is to decide the likes of Spain win trophies, and their club setup focusses on a small number of teams and hangs the rest out to dry... so we should follow.
Would be nice if just for once we led with a policy, rather than did something less well than someone else. English football's USP was always the depth of its following, the fact more people watched non top flight games on a Saturday than the top flight... so you'd think we could have confidence in ourselves.
The German model is the only one that works.
Unfortunately I suspect the percentage of fans of PL teams who actually care what is happening lower down the pyramid is very low.
What you need is a mass cancellation of Sky subscriptions coupled with a boycott of PL games then maybe the people who need to make the change will start to pay attention.

The Founder Members’ Agreement of the Premier League rules that 50% of UK broadcast revenue is split equally between the 20 clubs, 25% is paid in Merit Payments (depending on where a club finishes in the final League table), and the final 25% is paid in Facility Fees each time a club's matches are on TV in the UK.
Just like when we were there, and voted for the formation of the Premier League. Doubt many of our fans cried out that it was horribly unfair we were getting more cash.
it needs a big, big club to go pop really to draw attention to it. Leeds sort of did, but it needs bigger and poppier.
One can dream... mmmmmmm Aston Villa
I don't think it would do anything other than drive up the lower league player wages, and probably increase the price of tickets at the big clubs
Sorry, didn't think I had to spell it out but ill make it really simple:Because that hasn't happened despite the TV deal

I look forward to a big cut in the sky price now they have lost the champions league to bt sport as I am sure when they got it they lumped a bit extra on for getting it.:sarcasm:
