Financially they are preventing clubs from having the chance to come up and challenging them because they have relatively more income than they did before Sky came in. The minute a structure is proposed that would put clubs on a level of income that would put clubs on a parity they would do anything to stop it, including breakup of the league. The reason why clubs in this country keep all gate receipts for home games is because Manchester United refused to have it any other way, because they had the biggest stadium. When the top 4 is decided by businessmen largely, this cannot be sport. It's like a country buying people to change nationality so they can win more medals at the olympics.
That in my view is unfair and not the way to run a sport. You obviously have good teams and bad teams, but if you act in a way that stops other teams from ever reaching your level because money trumps everything else, that's not the way to run a sporting competition.
