I saw in the paper today that Chelsea generated £151m last season from TV and prize money and even Sunderland who were useless made £93.5m.
Norwich and Villa who were relegated the previous season both pocketed £41m in parachute payments.
Nice work if you can get it. The rich get richer/greedier yet at L2 level clubs survive on a shoe string and parks teams regularly play on sub standard pitches with decrepit changing facilities as local authority budgets are cut to the bone.

I think the Accrington chairman hit the headlines a few weeks back over the distribution of money from the Premier League, I'm not sure whether any other clubs openly offered him any support though, I do remember the PL saying that if he wasn't happy with his lot then they would gladly give him nothing instead
