The veracity of the modern game $$$

From the tumultuous and capricious depths of the Championsip emerge those clubs, victors in their own worlds, who climb the precipice of struggle that is the Premier League. Sporting newly signed degenerate players and scandilly basement bargains, these teams have one goal, to stay up.
The question I ask, is..to what end?
The abstemious road to perdition of these clubs, their fate, their future, surely lies in the special group of clubs at the foot of the table. A lack of professional squad depth and quality at this level is not the cause of bad management or decision, it is the simple fact that footballing success is emblazoned, taken over by the reprobate element of money.
Clubs who successfully complete a season in Englands top flight are rewarded with the mass finances concomitant with that of Premier League TV revenues and commercial success. TV revenues alone in the Premier League provide clubs with up to £40 million in turnover, compared with just an estimated £1million for Championship clubs.
In my opinion and indeed with cognizance, one can see the destitute path lying ahead of large clubs in small leagues. The likes of Sheffield Wednesday, Nottingham Forest, Leeds, Southampton, old relics of the 1st Division era are in struggling positions off the pitch which we can't equivocate from the important element of cold hard cash.
Looking at the Premier League today, arguably the world's elite club league, we see Bolton, Wigan, Portsmouth, now Burnley, who mostly receive attendances averaging 17,000 in their measily capacity stadiums.
What football needs now is a revolution. A pecuniary financial revolution that will put all teams on an even playing ground to compete for top honours, to compete for Europe, to replicate long fought history in the modern age, to bring veracity and truth back to the game we all love.
