Premier League clubs should set aside a small percentage of their television revenue to help struggling EFL clubs survive amid the coronavirus crisis, according to a football finance expert.
The current domestic broadcasting deal for the English top-flight is worth around £5billion, shared by Sky Sports, BT Sport and Amazon Prime, while the overseas rights are worth a further £4.2bn.
Based on last season's figures, which were part of a previous broadcasting deal, Liverpool received £33.5million in TV income, Manchester United £31.2m and champions Manchester City £30.1m
Now with all English football suspended in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, Premier League clubs can easily absorb the loss of matchday revenue but some EFL club will be pushed into financial difficulty.
