17.06 The total PL UK rights have been sold for £5.136bn. Wow, that is a lot of lettuce.
That's nearly £600m more than expected.

17.11 On average, every game will cost more than £10m. I mean we're drowning in figures here. Essentially, there is bare money involved.

17.20 The Premier League's Chief Executive Richard Scudamore looked very uncomfortable at points in the press conference, including when he was asked on the effect of the announcement of the Football League.
ben_rumsby Ben RumsbyScudamore admits TV deal will widen the gap between the PL and FL but points out they need to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Jesus! That's just flat out ridiculous. There's clubs in the lower leagues and in the conference and below who'd be able to stay afloat forever with 1% of that and the FA are just spunking it on one club.
And I bet season tickets still go up.
The money in the game now is getting a bit sickening. They don't even live in the real world any more...

The FA have been cutting funding from grass-roots and non-league football willy-nilly and have introduced stupid rules to stop clubs getting bailed out by wealthy owners. The cost of paying the bottom club in the PL would rescue every other league club from the spectre of administration, and the cost of paying the second bottom club would keep the grass roots going. Then we'd pay those two clubs by siphoning off the money from the other clubs above them.
The PL would still be the fatted calf, but at least we'd be saving the sport.
But it won't happen. Greed has taken over so completely. I can't see how Sky will sustain it, but I'll wager the cost of Sky Sports will go up another tenner a month!

Re: Sky Sports win the bid....
At least...so that's why I've binned Sky. Fed up of lining their pockets for the past 12 years...and all I see are offers for new customers and fuck all for the loyal one's....just like season tickets.

Re: Sky Sports win the bid....
Sky paying £4.2bn, BT £960m.
so there you go...definitely an increase for Sky and my £4 pm BT Sports bill will now become £14.

Re: Sky Sports win the bid....
The big news is that the total prices paid broke £5bn to hit £5.136bn, a jump of more than 70% on the same package last time around and a new record.
The amount of money paid is simply, huge. Sky has effectively paid 83% more for the same TV rights it currently owns, breaking to more than £1bn per season. BT also paid more this time around, a jump of more than 30%. These are record prices paid and represents a huge coup for the Premier League.
Quite simply, this was a battle Sky simply could not afford to lose. Its recent results has shown stronger than expected customer loyalty but its focus on advertising and subscription income is heavily dictated by the quality of its broadcasting. Its recent ventures into Sky produced TV such as Fortitude is expected to pay dividends but it’s football packages remains a huge attraction.

Re: Sky Sports win the bid....
How is this even sustainable? If they lose 25% of their customer base over the rise, they're merely breaking even. I can only assume it'll be the Friday evening games raking in even more advertising moolah.
Friday evening. Bloody hell. Fuck what the proper fans want, let's just screw more money out of the sport
Next stop will see the FA lift the ban on showing 3PM Saturday matches, and then we'll see teams relegated into oblivion...

Re: Sky Sports win the bid....
The PL and FA had the one opportunity here to talk to BT and Sky and come to some arrangement to help grass roots football and lower league teams....and both did fuck all. They want to be ashamed of themselves.
Fuck the future, grab what we can now attitude.
The Government need to have their say as they are the one's who always get the backlash and held accountable, when in reality, the very essence of football should lie with the very governing body that rules it.
The Banking fraternity in reverse.

Re: Sky Sports win the bid....
Cancelled sky at Xmas, certainly not going back. Am going to take BT Broadband in the summer in time to get free BT Sports for CL and some prem next season.
Will stick with my XBMC streaming, sat here watching Dippers V Spuds in almost HD. fook $ky. All this costs me is £3 a month for a VPN to pretend I am in America.
These amounts are simply unsustainable. £11m per live game? BBC Sport that Prem are offering 56m to grass roots for a large number of 4G pitches. Wow, 56m out of 5.1 billion. I wonder how much the players and agents will be getting of that.

Thing is, when he says "compete", on what level does he mean? I mean, culturally, Barca knocks spots off us and for a big city vibe, only London comes close to Madrid. And nowhere here has Spain's preferable weather.
But in actual football terms, what difference does it make to 80% of the PL? Only those who qualify for the PL get the chance to meet these teams and even then, it's not a given. There's maybe six sides who could get into the CL, so there's a point there. But after that? When do Stoke or West Brom or Hull or Leicester or QPR or Swansea ever have to worry about meeting them? Even for Liverpool and Spurs, it's a hopeful dream. So why?
Basically, it's a bullshit response to the answer we all know it is: OnDigital went bust and ITV Digital absorbed the extra channels for their own programming, because only the top flight makes any serious TV income. And if we can attract big name players to the smaller clubs, it means more fixtures are worth broadcasting as they'll generate more advertising revenue.

I think the rags are closest to that, don't they have three players nudging £300k per week now?blisteringblue wrote:And wait until we have the first 1/2 million a week player. And I tell you something he better not be playing for us.
But I still think it'll be us.

If it was Messi, £500k p/w wouldn't bat an eyelid.
