Hilarious news today from the big money world of football, where Greek MEP and surely the most optimistic and man in the game Manolis Mavrommatis has recommended to the European Commission that TV revenues should be shared equally throughout football.
The man from the cradle of democracy reckons revenue should be shared ‘equitably’ and not solely concentrated on the bigger boys, but also distributed equally to smaller clubs and even amateurs to redress the current financial imbalance.
Predictably and a in no-way reactionary and self-protectionist measure, the Premier League has described this proposal as ‘a policy to attack English football.’
Sorry Manolis, nice idea but file under ‘never gonna happen’. After years of gorging on an orgy of cash, the Premier League turkeys aren’t going to be voting for Christmas.
Elsewhere in the convivial world of cricket, the MCC is currently investigating the composition of modern bats or rather bat handles and the devious modern technical chicanery employed to give batsmen the edge with their carbon fibre shafts (steady now).
We all remember Dennis Lilley’s aluminium smiter and more recently Ricky Ponting’s Kookabura which fell foul of the laws so some clarity is needed.
As Law 6 notes there should always be a ‘balance between bat and ball’ in the holy game.
Try telling that to us poor long suffering bowlers...
