Yep, but people are clearly willing to pay it..

Clubs won't suffer, as l am sure that other broadcastors will come in and offer there services, what has to happen is that the consumer has to choose, and they are the ones paying the bill.

Whether clubs suffer or not depends on what happens as a result of this. If Sky lose a lot of business, or a lot of cash (and bearing in mind the amount they charge public places for broadcast rates, they *do* stand to lose a lot of cash), they may not be so inclined to play so much for the rights to show any football matches in the future.
If other broadcasters were willing or able to match or beat Sky's bids, they'd have done it by now.
