​Premier League clubs give up on changing distribution of overseas television money

Proposals to end the equal distribution of overseas television money have been abandoned after Premier League clubs failed to reach an agreement, reports BBC Sport.

The six richest clubs - Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea - wanted their appeal reflected in their income.

A plan suggested 35% of revenue from the sale of global TV rights should be divided based on league position.

But a meeting set for Wednesday was called off as no decision was close.

The Premier League said on Tuesday: "It has become clear that there is currently no consensus for change, meaning tomorrow's club meeting is not necessary."
