In the EFL, clubs don’t have the millions of dollars that come from Premier League televised agreements, where even completing at the back of the table generates nearly a hundred million pounds. First division of EFL), and much higher in leagues one and two (the two divisions decrease).
These clubs had entered the season in the hope that enthusiasts could return at some point. In fact, in the declining divisions, without him, those clubs could simply end the season.
As such, anything will have to be done. But what? Of course, a government bailout is needed, but just as difficult to reconcile with a game that is likely outdated. Hence the pressure on the Premier League to do anything.
In-game redistribution is not uncommon. In fact, the Premier League will already pay “solidarity payments” to the EFL and has charitable trusts that allocate cash to Premier League outdoor clubs. But it’s been a long time since then, any formal redistribution design took a position, long before the main league was founded in 1992. Some of the profits from the doors shared between clubs, however, this formula abandoned in the 1980s.

In fact, studies through one of my PhD fellows suggest that the more clubs there are in national competitions, the better a national team does on the field.
In addition, these clubs are local institutions, an integral and deep component of local communities, built on the strong logo symbol that football clubs have after decades, even centuries of existence. local tissue.
But they are poorly managed: the two who went bankrupted fell into the hands of bad property, so the Premier League is looking for guarantees on how the ransom cash will be used.
There must be a rescue, realistically. Important, essential. But a sticky cast. But what about longer-term measures for gambling fitness?Is it too much to ask?
