Fantail Breeze Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Just now, POOT 2.0 said: If this ESL thing has panned out exactly as reported, and if the clubs involved were the ones that vetoed the sale last summer...the PL could really punish them, possibly like no other punishment, by allowing our sale to go through. The very thing the B6 feared would be upon them and they'd just have to deal with it. Reality: ESL completely breaks down, gets spoken about for a bit, a couple of key figures resign and it all gets brushed under the carpet. Our takeover enters day 32,463 and we’re approaching ‘good news in July 2108’ according to Keith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won’t be them pulling out thought it’d be PIF. Tbh I felt more secure when the super league was on. Now the yank owners are going to throw a hissy fit and sell up as their generational scheme has been blown to smithereens in 48 hours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we need some kind of fair play in finances to keep these clubs spending responsibly and on a road to sustainability, with strict enforcement and penalties to make sure they fall in line.

lxsln Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I read in a Swedish newspaper(from DM, I think)that Glazer is considering selling the club. Is it now PL welcomes MBS with open arms? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Man U would cost so much that only the sort of deal that bought them in the first place could really go ahead, chuck a few quid up front and lend money off the asset in order to take a yearly dividend.

Kaizero Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, Stifler said: Nah, they still get loads of money and if the ESL could get the funding they said, then it shows that the UCL and Premier League are undervalued. It does not show that at all. To get much higher TV agreements you need a closed shop. When an individual network bids for the distribution rights, they will look at the interest in their market for the participating clubs. In the CL, these vary (to a degree) each year, which in turn make it hard to predict viewership figures and ad revenue. The years FC Copenhagen makes it to the CL Group Stage will bring a lot more ad revenue and viewership for the network with the distribution rights in Denmark, but as they are not in it every year you can't bank on that so you go lower. You can't be sure of the non-local clubs with the largest followings in your market participating each year either, which would also alter viewership and ad revenue. It's an uncertainty that networks just can't gamble on. It's probably one of the main reasons the Super League came into existence in the first place.

Kanji Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 There is no way the league are going to say "Oh, OK - PIF you are clear to buy Man United or Arsenal or Liverpool" - that would be giving those owner's what they wanted. What should happen, is the league allowing our takeover ASAP. Then putting a massive amount of red tape around those clubs who broke away, including fines, point deduction and other things.

If you could actually pay for a single service here where you can just watch your club whenever they play and the odd other big game, I’d have no problem signing up for that. The people that sign up for dodgy services do so because it would cost hundreds a year if you were to sign up for Sky, BT, Amazon and whatever else pops up and you’re still not guaranteed of seeing your club play!
