It's even worse in Scotland. Rangers and Celtic the only two clubs worth talking about.

For years in Spain, Barca & Madrid got 50% of the entire TV money, with the other 18 teams getting the remaining 50%.

The Premier League at least has a more equal playing field but I'm still bitter about Sky and Villa missing the PL boom in the 90s. We've had seasons in the league where we would have qualified for the CL if the rules were the same then as they are now, and the league was as accessible.

Also I don't want football to take off in the USA, because if it did you will have millions of Americans pumping money into the same teams that the Africans and Asians are and the gap between the top 5/6 and everyone else will be even bigger.
