hycus-flange Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 its only good for pubs and clubs, where sky charge against the rateable value of the premises per game, the subscription for Greek nova is around the same as having sports package on Sky per year so the domestic market will not benefit from this.

TheSufferingVilla Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Anything that takes money out of the game is good for Villa. The sooner the league collapses from under it's financial bubble the better off we will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingsombrero Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I have my doubts but hopefully this is the first step to bursting the Premiership bubble. I honestly don't care if the whole thing collapses like Serie A tenfold if it means an end to this bastardised version of the beautiful game.

leviramsey Posted October 4, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted October 4, 2011 One step closer to an American-style TV market. Net good for News Corp, maybe good for Sky, definitely good for Disney, probably good for John Malone's Liberty Global. Within the year, we'll see a deal reached to sell the Sky platform to Liberty Global (who would divest some of their cable company assets like UPC in Ireland) and the Sky platform gets offered on a pan-European basis, similar to DirecTV (which, coincidentally, Malone basically screwed Murdoch (or more properly, News Corporation shareholders not named Murdoch*) out of). Malone sells the Sky channels to News Corporation, perhaps with those channels being given Fox branding. I suspect that the phone calls are being made as I write. *: this is the primary reason that buying News Corporation shares is essentially a bet on Rupert dying soon: the news of his death will probably mean an immediate 25-30% pop in the share price!

dont_do_it_doug. Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I don't get it. Just get amazing broadband and stream games - just as good quality if you're Internet is fast enough. Or am I missing the point? You find me a reliable streaming site that will broadcast games in high def and a broadband provider that will give me a line fast enough and reliable enough to deal with said stream and maybe you have a point. This is wonderful news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Liverpool want to break away from the collective TV agreement and negotiate their own TV deals like Madrid and Barcelona do. What a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityRoadSteps Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Liverpool want to break away from the collective TV agreement and negotiate their own TV deals like Madrid and Barcelona do. What a surprise. Reading the piece on the BBC site about this one thing struck me.

BG_Villa_Fan Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 What's next? Clubs from bigger cities should get more TV money because more people from their cities have subscribed to SKY compared to small town teams? Greedy bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidlewis Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 so this means that the bigger clubs will get more money and the smaller prem clubs will fall behind even more. why not create a two tiered premiership? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even sha have won more trophies than liverpool in last 5 years They have the second biggest following in the premier league and are possibly bigger than Man U in the far east (their all red strip is considered "prosperous" and good luck) 80,000 people turned up to watch a crappy friendly in Malaysia over the summer and they had 40,000 just to watch their open training sessions when they were out there. They are huge out there and would be able to sell their TV rights for loads of money if they were allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 the fact is if it was to go ahead it would produce a rather dull premier league. They would have to change the premier league altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
