that all depends on what the trickle down effect is

if we can flog our palyers for massively inflated fees to Premier clubs then we probably aren't too much out of pocket.

The TV money isn't going to generate much spare change after inflated fees, salaries and general price inflation takes its toll.

Sell a couple of players for ?15m and you've probably made as much profit as you would have done by staying in the PL.

From a pure business perspective, the real money isn't in getting promoted it's in developing players to sell on to PL clubs. I reckon the cost of getting promoted (and trying to stay there) will erode much of the perceived benefit of the new TV deals.
