    Well basically it’s the ugly scramble for money.

    A set of clubs, the majority of which are going bust, that need every miserable penny out of TV

    I don't know who the four who were that voted or didn't but it seems as though they were completely in touch with the supporters and what they wanted and that is to have access to watch their teams.

    Their seemingly lack of knowledge of how the contract was termed and it's implications to clubs they represented isn't down to capitalism it's down to putting four incompitent clowns in charge of the biggest entertainment industry in the county.

    Substitute greed for capitalism
    It amounts to the same in the end

    Some of the bigger championship clubs actually believe they are a bigger deal in the grand scheme of things than they actually are Exile .

    A case in point been the record viewing figure on Sky for a championship game .... 1.25m and this a fixture contested between the two biggest clubs in the championship , Aston Villa and Leeds United over the xmas holiday .

    There's probably actually more people in the far east watched the Southampton v Bournemouth fixture last night .

    The championship clubs should thank their lucky stars they will receive £10m per club next season because I think the product is probably priced about right .
