EPL Teams to discuss the way they receive money from overseas broadcasting deals


The twenty clubs in the Premier League will discuss a new proposal that would change the way they receive money from the transfer agreements abroad.
The league will propose that 35 percent of international television revenue be allocated based on where a club ends up at the table, with the remaining 65 percent equally distributed to all clubs.
One hundred percent of overseas money is currently evenly distributed in the current system and each club received about £ 39 million from the overseas agreement last season.
Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool are in favor of a change in the current equal distribution of cash.

Some clubs with higher incomes believe that they should receive a larger share of international money, in line with their global marketing and investment.
The other fourteen clubs met last week, and Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore accepted his invitation to attend and outline the league's proposal.
Nine clubs are now in favor of the new distribution plan, with fourteen clubs that need to agree before the changes are approved.
A meeting will take place on Wednesday in central London and the proposal could be decided by a vote.
Sean Dyche, whose Burnley team is sixth in the Premier League, said: "I think it should be a uniform split? Yes, just for the reasons of the competition.
"We know it's an unbalanced competition anyway, if you make it even more unbalanced, and money rules the competitive element of high level football, so if someone is getting even more, and someone gets even less, it will distort it" .
