The issue is that it will still be whatever Sky feels like streaming. And the question as to whether or not that revenue granted by the league (instead of taken from customers) can be declared as a mitigator in financial reports is still unanswered.

This is the issue I have - if the delivery is just having more matches for their existing channels then this is not an improvement for the average viewer. If Sky themselves start an on-demand service that can sit alongside or replace either their main broadcasts or NOW then that's an option that wil markedly increase revenue from people who don't want to pay three figures a month. Such was the main way of breaking Sky's dominance for good, and if they've bought the right to it in-house that's one of their main problems no longer being an issue.

In terms of how it can be reported to be FFFP compliant I don't see - at face value - how it's an equivalent. There may be some allowances for this, I don't know.

That's revenue to the EFL itself, not the clubs. It's taking control of the cash directly out of the clubs so I don't see they can report online streaming as revenue in any cases of FFFP questionning.

Source (EFL) Massive step backwards IMO. Way to get people more reliant on Sky's bloated, outdated subscription models. Also taking money directly out of the clubs' pockets.

On the bright side, that should ease the demand on Plymouth tickets amirite

NOW WIN THIS GODDAMN GAME

There were only 5 required away games for West Ham, there are 9 here.

By that logic, Plymouth are a bigger club than West Ham. The absolute neck of this club.

Before or after it passes through kidneys?

If the unthinkable happens, would it be the first time a side has got two gaffers sacked from the same club in the same term? DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT WANT THIS. Just checking.

Get in!!

The goal that didn't count for shit, yes. His third goal total for the team which is appalling considering his prominence in the side, and you'd prefer to slate people who point that out instead of actually mitigating it.
