Woody reckons we'll get multiples of the current TV deal under a live streaming deal.

United are speaking to Facebook and Amazon about live streaming United games and moving away from SKY.

££££££££££

Dont see the other teams accepting this. Will be a massive fight you would think.

it would.

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah surely every other team kicks up a stink, and potentially TV money is (further) increased?

 

[Bojan KantKick]

does it matter if other teams are offended?

 

[Cruyff14]

I meant more that it will force Sky to increase revenue for TV money etc.

sky would be completely priced out of the market. PPV online streaming is the future. Utd vs Pool is viewed by around 700m fans worldwide. Imagine charging fans £1 to watch it with the 1/3 of the money going to United, Pool and Facey. That equates to £233m each. Teams could make more money in a single game streamed than on the entire current tv deal.

i believe there is already a netflix of football in i wanna say germany

I thought clubs can't sell their own tv rights individually.

DAZN I think. Supposed to be a bit of a disaster. They do J league as well.

 

[moomba]

Individual tv rights would be a disaster imo. Good for the finances of maybe half a dozen clubs, but awful for the competition, the sport, the supporters and most of the clubs.

Yep. Imagine being a small club trying to negotiate individual rights.

 

[chef]

Seems a pretty greedy move thats not for the good of the comp, but I'm sure all the bigger clubs would look at it.

I don't think anyone had tried. Don't see why you couldn't. It would create a lot of separation for United and Liverpool financially.

Just don't ask Floptus!!

Breaking City’s cash monopoly would obviously be disastrous!

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Would be great for fans. Why pay sky a shit load of money for 4 channels if i could pay sfa and watch my team live wherever and on the go.

Yeah it’s heading that way. Technology moves on and why should clubs be stuck tied into what is becoming an antiquated system?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Can see both sides of the argument but ultimately think it will widen the gap between the have's and have not's even further which can't be good overall for the league.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Will help little old United compete with the nouveau riche slave clubs and Real Madrid.

Quite seriously clubs like Burnley and huddersfield would get ruined.

Hmmm perhaps. Not sure.

You think Burnley would get as much as they currently do if they had to negotiate an individual streaming rights deal?

*assuming table accuracy

How many could get more on their own. I'd be surprised if it was over half. 100m+ is a lot to better for the likes of Palace, Swansea, Watford etc as well.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

No I don’t, but the bigger clubs also have to look after themselves. How does one keep up with the oil clubs spending? United for example should be able to utilise their strengths in order to keep up. Liverpool, arsenal and spurs also I’m sure would benefit from negotiating their own deal. FFP hasn’t reigned in City or PSG, so clubs are going to have to expediate their own finances otherwise they themselves won’t be able to compete
