That’s a cracking signing at L1 level tbf 201 championship appearances in the last 5 seasons, hardly misses a game
40m and I'd be selling. Pretty sure you can get three or four Le Fee level signings under PSr for that money.
Could be wrong here, but I thought last years TV payments were around £120m for finishing bottom and a new TV deal has been agreed and the TV money had jumped to over £200m as the number of live TV games is almost double next season.
the number of live games hasn’t doubled. Sky have just won the games Amazon used to have and are promoting it as if there are loads more live games. the majority of tv revenue comes from international anyway.
That’s right…roll on the random Thursday night games Amazon will be a miss mind, loved their coverage
There are a record number of games being shown this season, between Sky and TNT, about 20 extra (minimum) There’s 380 games in a season so for context almost 2/3 of games will be shown. The value of the deal is up about 30% The Sky deal is the biggest by a mile individually, but it’s true the 45 plus overseas deals are roughly 8 times the Sky deal in total. The Premier League is phenomenally run and marketed, it’s as perfectly executed a commercial product as you could ever imagine. TV deals are around £9billion a year, then there’s the merch and all sorts.
They've sold themselves that McKenna said he'd only play players who would be there next season in the last game - then started him
Just looked at the side. Keep the majority of those and they’ll be competing for another promotion I see Clarke didn’t start the game…
Mckenna must hate the lad, boggles the mind - he's shown much more ability than who he gives time to. I'm not even a massive Clarke fan but it's odd
I feel for Jacky. He didn’t push a move, his agent did. He went to the smallest club in PL and it’s been a ****ing train wreck for the lad. Real shame.
