    Firstly, he wasn’t expecting his £90 to form any part of a decision process for anyone barring him.

    Secondly, why lie about the TV cash amount per club that’s potentially at risk, when you’ve clearly stated the total number loads of times on here, so you know fine well isn’t £90m per club?

    You’re nothing but a wum lad, and becoming tiresome.

    I've seen a few places report that Sky/BT would be happy to take extra games next year (could tie in with additional teams) or an extra year at the end of the current contract as form of compensation.

    the foreign contracts are more likely to just say "no play no pay" and they form a growing revenue stream unlike domestic broadcasters where price per game has stalled maybe even fallen .

    I exaggerated for brevity. Yes it's not all from Sky. But the numbers aren't far off. Man Utd face losing £116m if the season is cancelled because of various commercial deals (not just TV).

    They haven't paid their final installment yet. Think they're about to still hand it over if the season is cancelled? Deluded.

    because the contract figures are in the public realm and Sky are paying less per game in this contract than the previous one though BT are paying a bit more but since Sky have more games without doing the maths it will be less. The total contracts totalled more purely because the PL authorised more games for TV hence Friday night games .
    If you mean foreign broadcasters i don't know but was fairly widely reported and seems a reasonable conclusion .

    Non TV commercial revenue is largely dead anyway under the PL plan (that you’re backing) for no home games.

    TV cash varies from around £100m per season to £150m dependant on number of games shown and league placing. Therefore the money at risk per club varies from circa £25m to £37m.

    I meant the assumption that foreign broadcasters wouldn’t take additional games or an extension, as opposed to claw back.

    Shirt and all the other sponsorships can still be fulfilled at neutral grounds but not if the season is cancelled.

    If they get offered another year at the nd of current contract then yes. The bidding for games now has quite a few more participants so to have another season at the current price could save them many millions. Even adding more games to next season would pull the money back or TV companies from advertisers.

    Shirt sponsorships are only one part of commercial revenue, which is why I said largely, and who said all of the behind closed doors games will be televised?

    Wearing a shirt to put on TV for a minimal audience (and illegal streamers) would be pointless.
