A very old and sterile argument. The Premier League Clubs are not short of revenue, they just have a cost base which is too high (which is a topic for a different discussion). If The FA paid clubs for the use of players, would the parties involved ever agree values - would they have paid the same for Wayne Rooney and Kevin Davies? The FA probably earns most of its revenue from The FA Cup competition rather than the England team. As The FA is a not for profit organisation, it doesn't keep any money itself, and gives it away to the football community. Firstly it provides income, including prize money, for everyone involved in The FA Cup. The biggest recipients of this income tend to be Premier League teams as they usually progress furthest in the competition. The FA, like the Premier League, also invests huge amounts into grass roots football. This can be classified as football investing back into its own product to maintain interest in the game now and in future years. So if The FA paid money directly to Premier League clubs which of this expenditure would you suggest they reduce or stop? Also remember that now only 38% of Premier League players are English, are you going to suggest that all countries pay Premier League clubs when players represent their countries? The English FA have the good grace to insure players against injury when they are on international duty - not something that many countries do. Maybe the problem is that, in England, the national team and the professional leagues are managed by different organisations. If they were all under one organisation perhaps there wouldn't be any "us and them"?
