Bristol Rob Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 The Bundesliga domestic television rights have fallen by €200 million. They were the first European league to agree a new deal since the pandemic. The Premier League is scheduled to start their tender process later this year as they start the process of negotiating a new 3 year deal. I would imagine that if the top flight have to compromise on what the product is worth that will be reflected the further down the pyramid you go.

Would be just our luck to make the Prem just as the gravy train gets derailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The positive to that however, is that you would look to recruit and pay people accordingly. Those promoted the year before and have spent bundles on fees and wage only to see revenue drop would likely feel the pinch more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obscene amounts of money circulating between a fistful of clubs and the rest be damned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Like many people who have been seriously affected by the virus restrictions, football is one industry that will have to take a good long look at itself. There will have to be permanent changes and hopefully it will bring some sense of reality to those who didn't know they missed it. The goalposts are on the move!

Chelsea's expenditure already this summer makes me wonder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 With so many new TV platforms looking for a way into the market the over all rights figure could still be high but the spread of coverage much wider. Depending on how quickly things recover after COVID depends on how much money every one has in their pockets to spend. We may see 10 packages at 100 million a pop instead of 2 packages of 500 million each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulton Red Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 The problem with diluting the content across a larger number of platforms is that the consumer normally needs to spend more to access all of the matches...even with fewer matches I don’t see Sky or BT reducing their prices (many are already on 18 month contracts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do without Sky and BT Sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 How will the upcoming possible crash in jobs and the economy affect all this? Surely if it's as bad as predicted, cancellations of subscriptions will spike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
