Surely streaming has to be the future. I guess it depends how much BT/Sky bid for the next round of TV rights, and how much they are willing to shell out.
Youâd be amazed the revenue that comes in per game. I know when Amazon show there games over Xmas the rate that comes in to each club is about ÂŁ17m per game⌠could a streaming service being that sort of revenue in?
The amount of broadcast TV money is insane. Not sure if a streaming service could bring that in. At the right price could see a lot of people subscribing though.
Somebody at work worded it one way which made sense to me. All thatâs happening is sky/BT are showing the games they would of anyway, but the PL are using sky/BT to facilitate an option to watch those games that otherwise wouldnât of been shown. But to view those there is a charge which is going directly to the clubs. Admittedly I personally think itâs a bit too high of a charge but stillâŚ
Netflix has 182 million subscribers. At ÂŁ10 a month that means they pull in ÂŁ22 billion pounds a year. Divide that by the 380 games in a season and youâve got ÂŁ57.5 million a game, plus ad revenue which would be massive as well considering itâs live sport. Not saying a streaming service would pull in Netflix numbers but you can see that it probably wouldnât have to

Letâs see, will Southgate pick the players who have performed best recently for club and country or fall into the usual England manager trap and play the big names who have been consistently average. I wonder I wonder
Iâll eat my hat if Grealish and DCL start

How the chuff is Maguire starting?!
Other than DCL, fuck that lineup fuck England and fuck Southgate. Wasteman
Such a good opportunity to pick a good squad with players on form. Instead thereâs Pickford and Maguire. Has Henderson literally just this week come back from injury?
Hope Belgium absolutely stuff them 5-0 and Southgate gets fired
Fucks sake now people are going to think that was some kind of tactical genius from Gareth instead of a lucky win

Did Pickford, Maguire and Dier play?
I just watched the highlights. Very soft penalty for England that and obviously lucky with the Mount winner. It was far from a Southgate masterclass and much more like a lucky win.
Iâm Welsh though so Iâm still bitter about Thursday night

Unfortunately I think weâre heading that way, maybe not that quick but yeah
Nah, canât see football being cancelled again. Theyâre fighting for fans to be let back in at the moment even with all this going on.
Theyâll dither around for ages without making a decision because theyâll be so scared of pissing everyone off by cancelling it. Then everyone will get sick and theyâll cancel it.
I mean theyâre all fair points but when multiple games each week are getting cancelled itâs going to abuse mayhem
Most enjoyable bath Iâve had for ages!

Different countries are in different situations now. I canât see them stopping the campions league if the premier does say. So theyâll just keep going. I can see a club trying to cheat at some stage by using covid-19 as an excuse to try and get a game postponed because their best players are injured though, or for some reason like that. Can I put a bet on that happening, haha?
