I suspect normal costs are being paid on a monthly basis and so are spread over the teams who are in the league in each of the years, as they are paid.
There would likely be a up front payment which will have been funded out of the PL's reserves, I suppose. Where clubs may have a shock is when each of them ends up paying their share of City's costs. I hope they are accruing for it :)
Anyway, screw Brighton. They were the club that started the ball rolling on APT when they sent their email saying the Gulf states needed to be stopped. And then weaseled out of it in the tribunal saying that isn't what they meant, even though they said exactly that. The cunts should have to pay twice as much as the others. Tell Maguire to choose a better example next time. The tosser :)
