DaveInSA Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 This is how the Premier league works. Do you pay for Sky TV? If you do, you contribute to this amazing merry go round of rediculous amounts of money, parachute payments and crazy salaries. i don’t and will not support Sky and all this nonsense. If more people cancelled their sky subscriptions the whole pyramid collapses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will at some point be relegated and sink down to their historical level. If someone snaps up Eddie Howe, then this will happen even quicker. But what are they supposed to do? give in without a fight? It's a bit of a heads you win tails I lose situation really. Control + U - turns off underlining...

Everyone cancelling Sky would also mean we'd go back to terrestrial TV and for those not old enough to remember that's 1 live game a Season (FA Cup final) and highlights of 2 games in match of the day....a few highlight of one of your local teams on a Sunday dinner and that's your lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn’t mean that at all. It would mean that subscriptions you Man U TV would go up dramatically and in fairness this is a business model, which could well put sky under anyway. In my opinion good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, many of their 'fans' couldn't find Old Trafford even with a satnav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would mean whereas fans now have the option to go to games or watch their own team on TV, sometimes live, always the highlights then the latter option would be removed. I watch Wednesday home and away but I enjoy the option of being able to watch Man City v Liverpool the other night and enjoy watching the highlights packages on a Saturday night. My parents are now both in their 80's and have had season tickets for 60 odd years. Unfortunately travelling and watching away games are no longer feasible but being able to watch 4/5 away games a season live is a bonus for them I do understand the anti Sky feeling but think overall more fans benefit from them than suffer - and just to put a bit of balance in this post my mum now feels that it's too cold for her to attend home games at night and every game that gets moved from a Saturday to Friday or Monday night means she has to miss it (and on a similar but completely different point, she struggles at some games picking players out against the backdrop of bright electronic advertising hoardings when it is dark!)

In my opinion good riddance. Football these days undoubtedly prices people out. Higher you go, the worse it can get- in Alternate History parlance, you'd need to butterfly away the huge price rises between say 1992 and now. Would it increase attendances appreciably? It's a hard one to judge. Then there's the cost of travel to away games- you'd again need to butterfly away huge increases in that for a start to get bigger away followings etc. It's not City related but here's a undoubtedly interesting snapshot from Arsenal that I found online.

Most of our back four had that problem last year. All different this season so I can ask City what the answer is if your mum is interested.
