The tv companies have a tight control over the football authorities. They demand that they be given the right to decide when games should be shown on tv, they demand that games be moved to suit their schedules, and the FL and FA bow to these tv companies.
This is the wrong way around.
The tv companies should be controlled by the Clubs through the FA/FL, they should be told when football matches may be televised, they should be told which matches may be shown, and the tv companies should jump at the behest of the FL/FA, but it seems that money talks.
The institution that started all this was the Premiership, and all this can be put firmly at their door. Their behaviour has been completely self self self with no concern about the Clubs and especially the fans.
Let us not forget that football was invented by the lower classes, and attended by the working classes. It has been hijacked well and truly by the middle classes, the people with money, and we need to bring it back under the control of the football authorities once again.
It can be done.
