Just ask Leeds United. The one part which intrigued me was the percentage of future T.V. deals going to the Football League. The number bounced around was 25 per cent and that's where the Football League was dancing. There was also the provision of a £250 million emergency Covid-19 fund that teams could draw from to help pay the bills because no one is allowed to enter the stadiums to watch. I read more than one Football League team chairperson say money wasn't the reason they liked the deal but I've learned in my 29 years of life or so that when someone tells you it's not about the money, it's always about the money. If someone came to your company/corporation and said they would institute a revenue-sharing deal and you would get 25 per cent of all future deals, would you say no? Exactly. You'd be stupid to say no, considering the amount of money the Premier League hauls in at contract-renewal time. But the one proposal that burned my ball-bearings is certain teams getting more say on how the Premier League is run. Under Project Big Picture, the so-called "big six" of Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Chelsea, along with Southampton, West Ham and Everton, the three other teams with the most amount of years spent in the Premier League over time, would have had those special voting rights. What's worse is only six of those nine would be needed to approve any changes. That plain sucked. The Premier League has operated under a one-team, one-vote policy since its inception with a two-thirds majority – 14 out of 20 – required for changes to be made. Do you honestly think 14 of the 20 Premier League clubs would have allowed this to go ahead? It's like turkeys voting for Thanksgiving. Hey, you big six, go ahead and tell us what's good for us. This whole thing stunk of elitism and thankfully, it won't go forward. The Football League may have liked it but it would have been a massive Trojan horse. It was a power grab disguised as a rescue package and good thing people saw it for what it was. kNKu W?9oxJ5,W?9oxJ5, N[Z/su,N[Z/su, x4gWEx4gWE 19 , 2020 nunavutnews.com, Monday, October 19, 2020 15 16 nunavutnews.com, Monday, October 19, 2020 kNKukNKu W?9oxJ5,W?9oxJ5, N[Z/su,N[Z/su, x4gWEx4gWE 19, 2020 kNKu W?9oxJ5,W?9oxJ5, N[Z/su,N[Z/su, x4gWEx4gWE 19 , 2020 nunavutnews.com, Monday, October 19, 2020 17 18 nunavutnews.com, Monday, October 19, 2020 kNKukNKu W?9oxJ5,W?9oxJ5, N[Z/su,N[Z/su, x4gWEx4gWE 19, 2020
