Championship clubs including Aston Villa, Derby County and Leeds United are threatening to break-away from the Football League over plans for a new £119m deal with Sky that is due to be rubber-stamped at the end of the month, according to The Sun.

The five-year deal would see Sky pay an additional £29m per season to the Football League and is due to come into effect next season, having already been given the green-light by League One and Two clubs.

But with Championship clubs threatening not to sign, how will this one play out?

We discuss.....

You can understand why, as they are on television a lot more than the other sides in the division.

But if the Championship becomes awash with more money, the gap between the second and third tier becomes even greater and ultimately dilutes the product.

The EFL is a strong, world-renowned competition and if the Championship pulls away in terms of finances and leaves League One and Two behind, then it just makes the whole competition unbalanced.

Football isn’t about the money it’s about competitiveness and unpredictability.

If you give the top teams the top money, then what chance is there for the rest of the division and even the teams in the leagues below?

Gary Hutchinson

It isn’t a huge surprise that the former Premier League teams aren’t happy.

It serves to prove the crumbs falling into the Championship are simply insulting.

They should try being Lincoln City or Accrington Stanley, no chance of a Sky game and minimal money running into the club because of it.

Want more money lads? Get promoted.

George Harbey

I think it’s just a needless move.

Fair enough not agreeing with the Sky deal but to want to create your own league out of it is simply bizarre.

Who would really benefit from that?
