Guest neesy111 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Ofcome opening an investigation into how the PL sells it TV rights. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-30095012 Virgin Media could actually make a bid for it themselves instead of whinging on about the process and how winners don't have to offer it to their platform. Virgin are not a TV broadcaster though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Why? What's better about the Bundesliga than can feasibly be replicated? We've got a more lucrative league of far better footballing quality. This is certainly debatable from the absolute dross the premier league has been this season. The general footballing standard is better in the Bundesliga, even if the Premier League is traditionally a more attractive proposition and able to attract better players. The Bundesliga offers a generally better standard of football with considerably less resources, I'd say. Absolutely, a better product all round really. Why not support a team from there, then?

What a weird thing to say/ask. I support Newcastle since I lived there for two years. Maybe if I lived in Germany and had some match going mates I could grow a fondness for a German team.

Ronaldo Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Fair enough. Just winds me up the usual suspects downplaying the PL all the time. There's a reason none you watch the Bundesliga as often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Fair enough. Just winds me up the usual suspects downplaying the PL all the time. There's a reason none you watch the Bundesliga as often. Funny coming from you, seeing as you have no qualms about ridiculing other countries' leagues at every possibility. In recent years the Bundesliga has grown massively in stature and international appeal. Certainly I know people over here who follow it much more closely than the Premier League these days. It's quite obviously becoming a stronger competition every year too, as evidenced by German clubs' results in Europe and the strength of their national team largely made up of players earning their corn domestically. I love Newcastle United and the Premier League, but then I am biased, not least because of my dislike of everything German. Objectively their football has come on leaps and bounds in the last decade. The fact that they've been able to develop so much whilst respecting their fans' interest is very creditable and certainly deviates from what we've seen in England unfortunately.

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I have to admit that I'm generally losing interest in this league nowadays. Coincides with us being shit like, but the World Cup was brilliant, so it's not that I've lost any interest in football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
