NoelVilla Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 off topic i know(sorry),but can't believe red sox@yankees got so few viewers. Levi can probably correct me if Im wrong but I think the amount of viewers shown in his stats is without the local TV-stations in Boston and New York. So the amount of viewers compared are those of the neutrals nationwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Imo the one thing that really leads me to believe we are in for a major change soon would be the hesitation of offering Albrighton a new contract. Arguably our best player the last month or so yet no rush to get him on a new contract? Maybe I am reading a little to much into it but it does seem strange considering he could sign for someone else now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted May 11, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 11, 2014 off topic i know(sorry),but can't believe red sox@yankees got so few viewers. I suspect that it was a nonexclusive broadcast, where FS1 had rights to show it nationally and NESN (mostly owned by Fenway Sports Group (John Henry's consortium)) had the rights to show it in Red Sox territory while YES (jointly owned by the Yankees and Fox) had rights to show it in Yankees territory (so if you were in Hartford, you'd actually be able to watch the game on three channels, each with different commentary: Red Sox comms on NESN, Yankees comms on YES, and neutral on FS1). I'd expect that if you added up the three channels, you'd get well over a million viewers, but that Fox was willing to pay that much for terrible rights is kind of telling how crazy the sports rights market is right now. Then again, the only reason now to pay $100 or more a month for TV or not record everything and skip the ads is live sports.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfcwills10 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Commentators on the Villa match said he's heard 'suggestions' Villa already sold. Might be just from press of GT WM interview though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendi Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 If villa were sold, don't you think something would have been leaked out by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 If villa were sold, don't you think something would have been leaked out by now? From the club? No. There are already talks that it's happened with media in the US saying it's a done deal which suggests at the very least that the buyer is American but who it is besides that is unknown. Things are slowly starting to trickle out but it won't be from Aston Villa or the buyer until it is ready to be disclosed formally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feidhlim Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) five posts now actually, ill tell you guys name after Monday who told me.just cos only have few posts doesn't mean I'm less of a fan than anyone else. I'm sure you're a fan and I'm sure you're as ITK as everyone else here. That'll be the problem. I'll tell you I wrote Lerner's statement. After he releases it. Edit: Actually, it would be great if you can stop suggesting you have insider info. Feel free to contribute either with facts or speculation, but don't tell people you know something and don't want to tell them. That's just annoying.
