But from Monday, pubs will have to pay 20% more to show Sky, bringing the new average monthly payment to £336. When the Premier league started 10 years ago it was £4.26 a month, says Bob Cartwright, of Mitchells & Butlers, owner of the O'Neills chain. The bigger pubs now pay over £1,000 a month. ——————————————————————————————————2/6—— Statistic of the week 507 BUSINESS BRIEFING ON OUR WEBSITE www.teletext.co.uk/finance Shares Take stock FTSE data Index

Cash-strapped clubs are desperate to get players off their payroll, even if they don't get a transfer fee. Leeds will continue to pay about 30% of Mills' £40,000-a-week wages. The closure of the transfer window this weekend means any deals where cash changed hands would have to be rushed. ——————————————————————————————————3/6—— Take stock of a week in the market 511 BUSINESS BRIEFING ON OUR WEBSITE www.teletext.co.uk/finance Shares Take stock FTSE data Index
