It shouldn't be about who pulls the deal in, it's about what is fair and beneficial for the game. Absolutely no need for the huge jump between 2nd and 3rd, especially given that the 3rd team will be looking to strengthen for a UEFA campaign.
Has it though? We should still be able to change league structure outwith any deal.
If we estimate the deal to be worth £800,000 on average to each team per season then it would equate to a £200,000 loss each season. That's the equivalent of attracting 500 new/lapsed season ticket holders on the back of a fresh (and presumably more competitive) league.
Doncaster's sound bites are once again nothing more than pampering to the OF because it is them, due to the current unfair distribution, that will get hit the most.
