Photo by The English football pyramid has long been plagued by financial disparities, with top-flight clubs enjoying a significant advantage over their lower-league counterparts. However, the latest developments suggest that a ‘New Deal’ may be on the horizon, promising a more equitable financial distribution between the Premier League and the English Football League (EFL).
A possible step towards a more sustainable financial future for English football
The proposed deal would see the Premier League offer the EFL a 14.75% share of its net media revenues, amounting to an extra £900 million over six seasons. While this may seem like a generous offer, many argue that it doesn’t go far enough in addressing the underlying issues. The concept of ‘backstop powers’ has been floated, which would grant the independent football regulator the authority to intervene and ensure a fair financial flow between the leagues.

In related news, a recent survey by Begbies Traynor found that financial distress in the EFL is at an all-time low, with just two clubs currently affected. This is attributed to improved self-regulation and a better understanding of the sanctions for breaching financial rules.
Meanwhile, Arsenal Football Club has been a cornerstone of English football, boasting a rich history of memorable moments in the Premier League. From the ‘Invincibles’ season to Thierry Henry’s record-breaking goal, the Gunners have left an indelible mark on the league.

In transfer news, Chelsea have been linked with a move for Aston Villa’s prolific striker Ollie Watkins. The Blues are reportedly willing to offer Conor Gallagher as part of the deal, given his experience in the final year of his contract. Watkins’ exceptional form this season, with 19 goals and 13 assists, has made him a prime target for top Premier League clubs.
