Liverpool Wants Greater Share Of TV Rights Money

Liverpool wants the Premier League’s top clubs to be allowed to emulate Barcelona and Real Madrid by selling their own overseas television rights.

The Premier League describes its TV revenue distribution system as the “most equitable of Europe’s major leagues,” with each of the 20 clubs receiving 17.9 million pounds ($28 million) from overseas broadcasters last season.

But Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre believes it is unfair that high-profile clubs with a global appeal are part of a collective deal that is worth 1.4 billion pounds ($2.2 billion) under a three-year deal.

“At some point we definitely feel there has to be some rebalance because what we are actually doing is disadvantaging ourselves against other big European clubs,” Ayre said.
