If Liverpool (and others) have their way, it will be the last nail in the coffin of English football. I would like to see the funds continue to be distributed evenly, but a rule put in place that no club could be televised more than any other. Perhaps then we wouldn't find ourselves having to wait until Sunday or Monday to watch United as often as we do.

One thing is for sure... if United were allowed to negotiate their own deal... we'd make a lot more than Liverpool... or any other team in the world for that matter.

We've already distanced ourselves from it - as have Chelsea, City and Arse.

Scousers are looking a bit stupid if you ask me as a result if you ask me.

Yep the Scousers will do anything to catch up their earnings with us. Personally i think the money should be shared like the NFL. With no salary cap/draft/position related schedule then the gap between the have and have nots will get bigger and competition get less. Greed, greed and more greed.

But then we'd become unbeatable and the Premier League would become boring and revenue would fall as a consequence
The Prem is popular because its competitive. There have been a lot of title contenders in the last 20 years, and it should stay that way IMO

Untrue, it's very much the same contenders with only 3 teams winning it in the last 15 years. We have had more different winners in the rather unfair La Liga. It has nothing on the Bundesliga, Revenue from the champions league and having much higher matchday revenue has given the likes of United a stranglehold.
While the TV deal would certainly hand United more money, they would still likely have less to spend then City.

The only reason a new TV deal wouldn't put United out of sight of the rest is due to the humongous millstone of debt tied around its neck.
Including the Cheatski match, United have had five "wake-up" calls in a row without seeming to get the message. The game-raising Liverpool, playing at home, are well placed to give United its first loss of the season. Perhaps that would rouse United enough to take on and defeat City the following weekend, but with our collection of mediocre midfielders, I really don't see that happening. Two matches in a row playing a 4-5-1 (calling it a 4-3-3 would give United's attacking intent too much credit), could make for some very dull viewing and yield a disappointingly low number of points.
EDIT: I should say, "starting with Benfica and including the match against Cheatski..." I should also point out (for the pedants) that I am not including the Carling Cup match against Leeds in that run, because United have not yet reached the point where the first XI (or anything like it) start in that competition.

I said title contenders, not winners. Newcastle, Blackburn, Arsenal, Chelsea, Leeds, Liverpool on & off, City have been in with a shout at some point
The Prem is popular because the likes of United can be beaten on their day. That's what I meant by unbeatable - not unbeaten to the title. If we had a monopoly on TV money the head to heads between us and City and/or Chelsea would probably determine the winners, like in La Liga. You could kiss goodbye to getting done by Wolves away.
