What if you say you don't want to be in the running for the Champion's League in order to get more moneyz but finish in a Champion's League spot?
I doubt £50m would be a viable amount like, but something needs to be done to break the monotony and make it more about football than money, so I like your thinking. A lot.

Then the team below you who did compete for the Champions league would get the place.

Ah yeah, how stupid of me.
Is this all your idea? And if so how long did it take for you to come up with it?
What an awful idea, Bill is that you?
Personally I dont see why Clubs whos owners are willing to invest money into Clubs should be "punished". The same reason I dont agree with the FIFA/UEFA Financial Rules.
City have probably bought the League this Season, Chelsea did it in the past and way back then Blackburn did it.
I recall Everton having the nickname "The Bank of England", some day, maybe, we will have owners willing to "invest" money into their business, but the way things are going we wont be able to catch up cos the rule makers are making it possible for anybody to wildly spend money.
Im also against Clubs getting rewarded for failure, anything less than 1st is failure.
Everton FC, failing since 87.

You know what mate it's an innovative idea, but unfortunately it just comes across to the outside world as the idea of a supporter of a club that is not a top 6 club. Why would Sky or the prem league redistribute the cash this way?
One other point I have to disagree with is that increased potential prize money will increase attendances. We all know that apart from the die-hards who will turn up every game come what may, the incremental attendance comes from performance, not prize money.

Interestin idea. I'm still of the school of thought that says, top 3 = champs league. Fa Cup winners = champs league
if you finish in top 3 and win the cup then the place goes to 4th. No prizes for losers.
I mean 4th? wtf is that all about anyway....
oh and also europa cup winners = champs league group stage qualification the following season.

You can't restrict the prize money but you can place an embargo on spending (on transfers/wages to a lesser extent) that is proportionate to income streams - thereby avoiding a Man City "buy the title" scenario. This would placate the bigger teams (to an extent) by allowing them a marginal advantage based on merit (bigger income streams = better wage allowance & better transfer fund) whilst making transfer spending more equal & more affordable. So for example if you restricted spending (net) to (let's say) £10M per club plus 10% of income streams this would stop the disproportionate 'arms race' we have at the moment.

so, say it came in next season, we end up in top four but our prize money (50mill ?) goes to say Newcastle*, where do the funds then come from to support a champions league campaign ?
* obviously I mean Mike Ashley.

First off. I think you've got some good ideas. Most of us are happy to **** off the system but you've taken the time to think of some kind of alternative. The main problem as I see it is what blue-berry says. How do you get the Prem/Sky to redistribute the money. Let's say for arguments sake that they'd be willing to do it. Can you imagine how the big clubs would react? Something like a pitbull if you tried to prise a t-bone steak from its jaws.
The answer is really in our hands. The super rich clubs don't just rely on their own fans to buy their product (merchandise and matchday tickets or tv subscriptions). They rely on opposition fans filling the stadium and subscribing to sky. The powers that be will justify the difference in revenue by pointing to the fact that the Everton fans (along with the Bolton, Wigan, Blackburn, Villa, Stoke, WBA, Wolves fans) are willing to pay to see their team play against the rich teams in far greater numbers than they are to see them play against teams of similar economic standing. Boycott the rich teams totally and we will see how their stock goes down. There's obviously a sacrifice involved. Because the product served up by Man City, Utd, Arsenal, Spurs etc IS better than that served up by Stoke, Villa and (for the main part) Everton. However, it's not 10 times better as the difference in revenue would suggest. I'd be willing to do it. That would mean not only not watching the game against Utd, Arsenal etc. It would mean not buying the paper or reading the electronic version of the match report. Totally reduce their impact on the world. Turn off the telly when their matches are on. Of course for this to be effective in any way it would need to be multi lateral. A lot of fans tend to buy shirts of foreign clubs either coz you like the club or coz the shirt is nice. But it's the same type of clubs (Inter, Ajax, Barça, Bayern Munich, Boca Juniors). They're all part of the same cancer that is eating away at football. Well, that would have to finish. If you want to buy a foreign club's shirt, buy a Tigre, Racing Santander or Fortuna Sittard* shirt. Refuse to go the match against the rs, Chelsea or Spurs but fill it against Stoke, Bolton and Swansea. That way the team will know you're behind them. I see this as the only way forward really. Otherwise the stadiums are all going to end up empty anyway. I will emphasise the fact that this would have to be a global effort for it to have any impact. I also believe that if this kind of thing ever happens it won't be a football thing it will be a social thing
Power to the people. (and the people's club of course).

The same place it comes from now. Playing in the champions league generates around £50 million for each team that qualifies. This is the reason why teams who regularly qualify are pulling further away from teams who can't qualify and something needs to be done to bridge the gap
