The PFA have already sent out ballot papers to their members and are confident they will be able to call strike action over the row surrounding the amount of cash they receive from central television contracts.
A 104 percent boost in income from TV sources helped Leeds, one of Britain's top clubs, post a record £10.1million ($14.8m/B16.7m) profit in figures for the year ending June 2001.
That sum will be lifted even further this season, when the £1.5billion ($2.2bn/B2.4bn) combined deal with pay TV broadcaster BSkyB and terrestrial broadcaster ITV fully kicks in.
The PFA argue that the Premier League wants to cut the five percent cut it receives from the contracts and all negotiations have so far failed to resolve their complaint.
Many supporters cannot understand why players who earn up to £80,000 ($117,200/B128,087)-a-week feel the need to go on strike, although the PFA argue their stance is more concerned with those lower down the income scale and players who are forced to retire from the game prematurely.
