A number of Championship clubs have threatened to break away from the English Football League unless they receive a larger share of the league 's new £ 660 m ( $ 851 m ) television rights deal with Sky . Championship clubs under the current proposal would get £2.95 million each per season, with a further £17.7 million allocated via appearance fees. Under the terms of the agreement , Championship clubs will receive £ 3 m per game , with a further £ 17.7 m to be allocated based on appearance fees . However , a consortium of clubs , led by Leeds United , Aston Villa and Derby County , has argued that they should be able to double that amount .
