The Premier League is a far bigger achievement than the FA Cup, but just think of how much revenue comes in for just the Final on its own! The teams in the final have got a right to a good chunk of that money. I agree with you.

It's far greater than Beckham's strings,Rivaldo's jaw-plates, Ronaldo's "hate" for Rooney...or every other blsht the media care for. :) we totally agree harry,but fottball has its social aspect and it’s a good reason to start a discussion on society.

Now most of the premierleague teams r getting foreign investment so they have the money to compete with the top teams .Distributing equal money will promote mediocrisy.A team will not care if it finishes 3rd or 14th.Moreover,if money alone can buy success and is all that is required for generating competitiveness then chelsea with all its buying power should have won all the competitions in which they have played including the champions league? nice post but i don’t agree that the premier league winners and the FA cup winners get the same.In FA cup sometimes top teams r pitted against low division teams and get to the final easily whereas in the premier leauge teams face much tougher competitions to win the league.

If this didn't happen the Big teams would be running the league, like what is happening in Italy. All the big teams in Italy own the players of the smaller teams because they cant afford to buy their own players! This means they can dictate the team they play against. In other words Match Fixing! Spreading the money evenly keeps the league healthy. It is fair that all teams get roughly the same. If this didn’t happen the Big teams would be running the league, like what is happening in Italy.

In terms of what it is trying to accomplish your model is fairly good, I have to admit. However I still disagree with your reasoning, why are you so opposed to there being a discrepancy in talent? The top teams deserve to be where they are, they've earnt it through good management, their fans and players deserve the rewards because at the end of the day they wont last for ever. If you go back 10 or 15 years you will see that things were different. If Arsene Wenger joined Tottenham or Leeds instead of Arsenal, If Bayer Leverkusen had won their Domestic treble a few years ago, or if Lazio had spent their money better after they won seria A things would be different. There is always hope for teams, its just a case of the fans being able to stick with them when things are not so good, which most do. Its not like NFL where no-one cares unless there team has a chance of winning. Longshot. In terms of what it is trying to accomplish your model is fairly good, I have to admit.

I really do not want to drag you and others into boring and arduous discussions. Football is a beautiful game because is based on healthy competition when the audiences appreciate the game for its physical aspects, spectacular moments, and its tribal rivalry. At the end of each match, the looser gets opportunity to compete on another day, contrary to the gladiators in Roman era when only the winner would see the light of another day. It is unfortunate that reality has come to fore for fans that there are other unsavoury facets to football than meets the eye. When I go to see my beloved team, I do not think how much a particular striker is purchased. All I want to see my team plays a beautiful football free from media controversy. On the other note, there has never been communism or true socialism on this earth. What so far human race has witnessed is the proletariat dictatorship and partial socialism which was instigated by Milton Keynes' economic model.

I don't really know how to use the English language correctly,but I think I'm clear. Besides,your comment has nothing wrong in using the word communism.Longshot's and Taron's comments do. [harry]

I referred to communism failures; I did not talk about propriety rights. Please do not teach me about communism and principles of egalitarian societies “utopia” where concentration of power and wealth is not exercised. FYI, I teach in uni the principles of Karl Marx and its impact on our contemporary societies. Capitalism has a life cycle like any other thing in our universe. Globalisation is the last stage in life cycle of capitalism. Unfortunately the author “Longshot” in his article for some unknown reasons has chosen to overlook that football like any other industry does not live and operate in vacuum. There are stakeholders, and powerful forces in motion that have profound impact on future landscape of football. Taking a simplistic approach to such complex issues in our society is a fool's paradise. Nikos- I suggest read my comments before you use my name in vain.

(ooooopsss) Communism means private property exists no more. Since the previous sentence is a part of communism's definition you canna talk about communist leagues or rules in the present-day society. YOU CAPITALIST! :) the measure you 're suggesting here belongs to reactionary socialists's political parts... I repeat you fckn capitalistic worm! (ooooopsss)
