Disco Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 The end of football as folk knew it. Shame. Still at least shit players and directors will coin it more than ever. Cements everyone bar 4 clubs now being effectively feeder clubs for big English teams too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Aye he's never going. The figure is going to increase to at least £8bn by the time the foreign rights are sold. Next time I think it may break the £10bn mark for domestic games. Is there any word on the highlights package? I think this should be used to let fans in for next to nothing since the income from match day is already irrelevant. bbc got the highlights a week or two ago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were run properly we'd actually have the prospect of looking forward to seeing really good players play for us but with Ashley it's hopeless, literally more money for him and nothing else.

Cements everyone bar 4 clubs now being effectively feeder clubs for big English teams too. Even before this deal, a club like St Etienne becoming Man City's feeder club. But we see poor/average clubs currently signing players from big European clubs, this is going to get worse. It's horrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Dan Roan @danroan 2m2 minutes ago Astonishing Premier League TV deal means that Sky & BT are paying more than £10MILLION for each & every single match the broadcast live Us vs Stoke would cost them £10m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 It's probably not on its own, but I was of the impression that battling for the TV rights is all to do with selling the lot together with phone and broadband packages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quad play services, Sky is launching it's own Network (virtually) on O2 and BT is buying EE. It's easier to cross sell for them when they can bundle all 4 services to customers.

Matt Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 The extra £2bn+ equates to £700m each year Aggregate attendances in the PL are just under 14m per season So as of today, clubs will (on average) pick up an extra £50 from the TV deal for every attendee from this deal alone Decent gates used to be a strength of NUFC, but it's utterly irrelevant now, getting 5,000 through the door would barely make a difference.

Foluwashola Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 English football could do with imploding and starting again. As much as teams like us are hamstrung by the Mike Ashleys of this world, the whole charade is just a mass wanking off of Manchester reds et al. Fuck it.
