Oh, I know. But that's not enough for us. Or rather, it's not enough for people who support other Premier League clubs. I'm betting Wrexham fans couldn't give a monkeys who wins the Premier League.
The money is shared out much more evenly too, as opposed to Spain and, I think Italy. It's about the league rather than the individual clubs. Or, it was when the league was formed. I think the winners get about £18m and the bottom club with get about £1.5. When you think about the kind of money the top clubs, mainly but not exclusively United and Liverpool, could earn from making their own deals (ala Barca, Real, Juve, etc) they're losing tens if not hundreds of millions of pounds per year. But it does make for a better league, IMO.
If you look at Deloitte's last top 30 richest clubs in the world (2013/14), 14 of them are Premier League teams, whereas three of them are Spanish and Barca and Real are both in the top 4 (Atletico being the other at 15. Four German, four Italian, two French one Portuguese and one Turkish make up the rest. If you don't know which Portuguese team it is, don't look as you won't like it.) but I think the feeling over here is what's the point in being the 17th richest team in the world if you won't finish higher than 6th in the league?
