TBG Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 What a shit end to the year. PIF selling up. Howe to England. My piss stained sheets freezing over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 FFS, we are still talking about PIF selling us to buy Man U? Fuck off man, Man U's days at the top are gone. They will attract the same sort of buyers that Chelsea got, some rich American investment firm who will want to see good returns for their shareholders.

Why would Amazon want to tie themselves to one team when I would imagine their goal would be coverage of the Premier league generally. It would be a conflict of interests of sort surely?

Yeah, same as I said when Apple were linked. It rules them out from ever showing Premier League games, and potentially Cup games ever again. Like Apple, they would receive no benefit from taking over them that they couldn’t do with a commercial tie up.

Ben Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Did Sky not try to buy Man Utd a few years ago ? there has been rumors' of independent TV deals with each club (like a sort of season ticket) that runs alongside the main TV deal for a while now. I have know idea how that would work but I'm sure the Americans would sort out a new broadcasting format. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how you've came to that conclusion given the turnover, or lack of, and amount PIF have had to put in just to start the ball rolling. I came to that conclusion because the ball is now rolling. Anyway, it's purely hypothetical and seems incredibly unlikely to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 FWIW in the US you get a portion of games on NBC's networks available on TV (Comcast, Spectrum, etc) or Cloud-based TV providers (Fubu, Youtube TV, Hulu TV, etc) and then if you pay for the Peacock service you get the balance of PL matches. It's easily that simple, but I'm looking forward to the pro 3pm blackout to support lower league football matchgoing etc brigade to tell me how 100% correct they are and how the above is shit.

It's not their choice the blackout is imposed by the FA and UEFA, I think they're only proposing to shift around schedules to allow them to take advantage of existing allowances for showing matches at 3pm.

SEMTEX Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 It's still wildly annoying that I have to bounce between Peacock / TV (Sling in my instance) to find a game. Just let them all play in the Peacock app, I beg of you my evil Comcast overlords. Even if I have to register my Sling subscription to show I have USA Network.

The cunts It's not that, just feel for any fan of any football club that has broadcasted football matches blacked out at 3p if it's not picked up by one of your few channels when say - Fan A who used to live in Newcastle is now living in a different city and doesn't have the means or time to get to a match to see it live in the stadium. Particularly now with all this technology and on-demand access to internet based subscriptions and tv services. Even for a lower league game that's literally being recorded by a camera and potentially beamed somewhere, the fact that it's not available to see live in 2022 or 2023 for that matter is maddening.

Yep, it’s a tricky one, but I do have some sympathy with the Bob Lord position on this one. With streaming etc it now looks inevitable, as folks will just pirate it anyway. I’d be more comfortable if the money made from the extra streams was redistributed to the lower leagues - but then, we know why the PL breakaway happened, and it wasn’t for the good of football.

This is the thing I hate, besides Peacock being shit. You should be able to get every match if you have a cable sub or every match if you just stream, not have to have both.
