"This morning, I was told 21 out of the 24 Championship clubs wanted the EFL to ask Sky for more time, or even negotiate a shorter contract, to allow some of the issues - amount of money being paid, the number of times clubs are on TV, the mass streaming of midweek games - to be sorted out."
I wonder which camp we are in?

Given their approach to concessions, the Allams would surely wish to see everyone receive exactly the same from the EFL deal.
That was my first thought too, they will argue the club is now worth more... time to renegotiate. #****s

Is this £600m per year or over 5 years?
Wonder how it’s split between divisions. Not sure what the current arrangement is.

It is over 5 years. It is dealt out depending which division you are in. Doesn't seem that great all things considered. From the article OLM linked to "A disparity between TV incomes in the Premier League and Championship is at the root of many complaints, with the £95m West Bromwich Albion received for finishing bottom last season being not too far short of what all 72 clubs will share annually from the new Sky deal".
£595 million divided by 72 teams and divided by five seasons = average under £1.7 million a year. not going to move the price very far.
The TV money drops between the leagues, the basic Championship EFL payment last season was £2.3m (so it will probably go up to about £3m), then there's the Premier League solidarity TV money, which in the Championship was £4.5m last season (and will probably go up again this season).
Still not enough to make a difference.
It’s miles from making anyone even mildly competitive financially compared to those who have been in the PL recently. I think the football league could be doing better in this day and age.
He doesn't even seem to want to stay in the Championship, so not sure this would help.
