From what I can gather, it only seems to be a problem when selling club don't get the value they want for a player. Real and barca have always played by different rules though lol.
"Tapping up" meaning if Liverpool speaks with a player without the approval of hiis club, it's known as tapping up:this does not apply to Barca.
I've sort of cancelled my Sky this season. Going to use NowTV and/or Kodi, May even go to pub again as I've been having the odd tipple after my op for the first time in six years. Thing is, from what I understand with conversations with neighbours and workmates, I'm not the only one. I was paying £128 a month to Virgin, and being off for a couple of months and losing out @ £1k a month on overtime and allowances, I've really had to think, and the first thing that needs trimming is SKY. As said, I'm far from being the only one, and as the economy bites with Brexit (and it ****ing will) I almost hope Sky and Murdoch suffer terribly. And that ****ess Kay Burleigh. Be interested if the clubs were to do pay-as-you-view high def screening, and you pick your own club (or your own and your second club, in your case).
Didn't sky try to do that years ago and the govt blocked it because smaller teams and pubs complained they would lose match day revenue?
Whilst I think the domestic rights will soon struggle, The potential for overseas rights is massive. There are no major restrictions on screening all games plus with the likes on video on demand services like Netflix it's only a matter of time some massive offer comes in and makes The domestic rights look small The reality is I have most of the European football content here in Kenya and the way whole product package of premier league is delivered is brilliant. Plus you have pundits repetitively claiming that it is the best league. The number of bellends who fall for that line is massive.
I think most true fans want to watch their own team every game and ultimately there would be enough revenue from that. Personally I'd watch us play an FA Cup game against Hartlepool United before I'd watch say, Chelsea play City. Real fans of smaller clubs would still go and watch their own, imo. Maybe pubs would suffer, but there should still be plenty who'd go for the atmosphere, rather than sit at home and watch on their own. Many are using free foreign streams anyway.
Its hard. You must talk direct to player without permission. You can talk all you want to agents. If mourinho sits with ashley cole in a Hotel lobby it is provable. If Klopp flies vvd at lfc expense to have an ice cream on blackpool pier it is provable. If lfc pay the school fees of a stoke player to join their academy its provable. Nobody can prove anything in this coutinho story.
I agree. Would love it to happen. Suppose there may be an argument it could turn out like spain. Most subscriptions will be for the likes of us United etc, fan base not big enough for smaller teams while the "total" current package as it is would become unattractive as it relies on the big team fans subscribing which they wouldn't do....would that devalue the PL product as a whole for tv companies or at least for the PL trying to sell to those companies?... Be interesting to see projections...im sure they've been done
That would put too much emphasis on fifa and eufa trying to be fair for all concerned and help out where needed. They won't like that lol. Show them up for the scumbags they really are.
Probably because the PL don't want the money making for the product in the hands of the clubs or more specifically 4 or 5 clubs. They kind of become redundant if they did other than generating fixtures and providing referees.
No. I loaned my box to the daughter's boyfriend for the summer, and he's upgrading the channels on it for me (I haven't a clue, despite watching that Paul Moore dude on You Tube). Towards the end of last season I was really struggling to get a link. Someone on here (Lucas?) gave me one earlier in the season that was mint. Didn't work after a few weeks though.
