they're already going to be getting bigger parachute payments after next season anyway

as part of the new deal.

So its already probably too late.

The only solution as I see it is ultimately for the top few clubs to clear off and join a European Super League. No TV company will pay top dollar for what's left (i.e. minus the glamour clubs and their world star players) so the gap between the top league and the rest will narrow.
