The six richest clubs of the Premier League are seeking a greater share of income from their next round of television deals.

Manchester United, City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are proposing an end to the system in which international television rights are split equally.

Richard Scudamore presented a proposal where 35 percent of television money is distributed based on where clubs finish in the league.

Income from international TV rights 25 years ago was negligible, so the clubs agreed to share that money equally.

Last season, Chelsea received £151 million in total while bottom-placed Sunderland were paid £93 million, but the booming international income was shared equally, the 20 receiving £39 million apiece.
