They won't want to share that with broadcasters - you'd be looking at a highlights show somewhere. Someone earlier posted that it was only a few games a season, say 2 or 3 that are on the teams own channel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I think more people will stream games illegally if it’s a case of buying games one off every time. If it’s a monthly subscription more people will pay and watch. More viewers = more ad revenue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted April 18, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 18, 2021 United have been looking to try and get games on their in-house platform for a while - they wanted the rights to a couple when the pandemic change happened so that all games were televised.

Genie Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Didn’t England (Cricket) say if you play in the IPL you can’t play for England? IIRC they backed down on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 It's not a shock, just money grabbers pushing the boundaries - they always will - but they have no imagination to think about what the reaction will be - fans will tear this down.

Pretty sure it was the ICL, which was the original T20 league set up in India without the permission of the ICC or BCCI. I think all players were banned from official competition worldwide, then the BCCI set up the IPL. English players weren't in demand really and the England players were generally made to respect their central contracts as the IPL usually is at the same time as the start of the English season. Since then England got brilliant at white ball cricket and the ECB gave up trying to fight it and just let the players play IPL if they want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never watch it, and my impression from my friends is that it's enough with CL. That's before we adress the bit about football being interesting cause it's competitive. A US no relegation league to establish a money making machine, that sounds dull as ****. No prestige in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t watch it, I don’t currently watch the champions league either, if my club aren’t in the competition it’s not really very interesting for me. A super league of clubs I feel nothing for, nah thanks, don’t care how skilful the players are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Champions league is a huge success around the world, and all the top players see it as the pinnacle. This is like CL+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 There will be no action against them if the proposal fails lets be honest, like the last one it will go quiet and then rumblings will happen again in a year or two. Neville is right though, deduct any club that has signed up for it and show without hesitation that there will be severe punishment for these discussions in future.
