And having no European pedigree is the reason why Arsenal are a nothing club in North London, Spurs are the second club in North London that nobody gives a flying fcuk about, Chelsea are a small club in Fulham.

Being that most of these selling rights have only been in place since the advent of the CL & PL perhaps you could enlighten me about Liverpool's pedigree.How many times have Liverpool participated in the CL in it's current format.Are they even competing in it this year ?
 
Having a bad day at the office El Nino? You are mucha aggressiva?

I think you will find that if clubs negotiated their own rights, far more fans would want to watch United and even Chelsea over long ball to Carroll.

Liverpool would have to sign some world class players to get fans to watch them once more

I see the naysayers are missing the point by a wide margin.

Freedom to negotiate foreign TV deals would not be restricted to just Liverpool. There&#8217;s nothing stopping Spurs, Arsenal, Everton, City etc negotiating a similar deal in their own right, and reap the benefits that accrue from such a venture.

What&#8217;s that you say &#8211; it&#8217;s not easy for clubs with little or no Domestic/European pedigree to gain a significant market share of these TV rights?

Well tough.

We have the pedigree, a global presence and a global fanbase.

Why should WE not be able to tap into these markets (which we ourselves have created) by selling our &#8220;brand&#8221; to our potential customers?

If companies like Apple & Microsoft had adopted such an insular and small minded view, you&#8217;d be reading this on a BBC micro.

You do already, you numpty. The PL don't pool all the money together from shirt sales and hand them out evenly. You're already at an advantage revenue wise, just because you can't capitalise on the significant advantage you have you start whinging about the PL having principles.

Tell me where I used a word I don't understand? Ambiguous means different. Unambiguos means generic ie the same. Liverpool and Manchester United are different to all other clubs in the premiership they are special clubs, and have earnt that right. Spurs ands Arsenal haven't.

We're not talking about shirt-sales you moron. Liverpool and Manchester United have something Arsenal and Chelsea and Spurs don't and that world-wide global appeal. Theres a reason for that, they've earnt it. Arsenal etc haven't.
Liverpool have a huge fanbase world-wide, Nobody cares about a no-mark club like Arsenal.
