I read earlier this week that the PL would like to “roll” the current TV rights over, rather than renegotiate when the contracts come up for renewal. This benefits no one other than the current broadcasters and the PL. If they had the integrity they tried to claim they had after the ESL debacle, they would have been open to a negotiation which may have benefitted the lower leagues in some way. As I said at the time, crocodile tears and faux indignation from the likes of a certain Mr Neville who is currently, along with his mates, trying to buy there way through the lower leagues with Salford. A complete charlatan who is part of the problem IMO.
Pretty much all the clubs outside of the PL live day to day trying to manage there clubs finances, such is the disparity between the money available to them verses the PL.
they want to roll over the TV contracts as they think an auction will bring in less dosh and i fail to see how less money benefits the lower leagues .
The narrative would be so.. Soooo much different had that been lfc fans breaking things in Anfield today.
If they had been genuine about saving football a couple of weeks ago, they would have been open to negotiations which may have included representation from the lower leagues. Sorry, but I think you’re naive if you think this is anything other than protecting the PL. My understanding was that the PL have been indicating that they want to contribute less to the lower leagues irrespective of the value of the new TV deals. This agenda was / is being pushed by clubs such as the one you support?
United fans leading the way as usual. Well, to be expected really. Scousers just happy not to see their team getting battered.
Just asking coz the press coverage of Liverpool fans bricking opposition team coaches and breaking lockdown rules that the rest of us were obseving (after the title was confirmed) seemed pretty fair and factual to me ... you can only play the "poor us" card so many times ...
you appeared to be linking the PL clubs aim of rolling over the existing TV auction to the lower league clubs getting more money and i fail to see any link . No way do i think the PL open to giving more money to the other divisions as they are far more worried by their own finances . I think you are naive to be surprised a group of foreign investors with hundreds of millions invested give a flying **** about the football pyramid and not realise that a chunk of the opposition by other PL clubs could be interpreted as self interest masquerading as principles .
