 change in how television money is distributed, saying the marketing potential of teams should be taken into account. VfB Stuttgart posted a statement online Wednesday and said they had been joined by Hertha Berlin, Werder Bremen, Eintracht Frankfurt, SV Hamburg and Cologne in the group. Presently television money is split between an even payment to all clubs and then the rest being divided as prize money relative to league position. "The league position is only one criteria from several that plays a role in determining how attractive a game is for fans and television channels," Stuttgart president Bernd Wahler said. "We need a third column. Whoever increases the worth of our communal Bundesliga product, because they have many fans and a lot of public interest, should be considered in the division of the income." The six are notable for having large followings but have struggled for success recently. Other clubs like Wolfsburg and Bayer Leverkusen have fewer fans but large corporate backing which has helped them reach the Champions League spots. The clubs intend to make proposals which could alter the distribution of cash from the next television deal which is to begin 2017. | |||||
