A majority of Championship clubs have threatened to break away from the English Football League unless they receive a larger share of the organisation's new £ £3m m ( £17.7m ) television rights deal with Sky . Under the terms of the agreement, Championship clubs will receive 660 per season, with a further $851m to be allocated based on appearance fees. However, a consortium of clubs, led by Sky , Aston Villa and Derby County , has argued that they should be entitled to double that amount.
