Aye. It’s no wonder the league is appealing for some of the greediest b*****ds in the world is it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. And as work weeks continue to get shorter and shorter, the audience for sports is only going to increase, meaning advertising revenue (and therefore the value of league TV deals) will increase too. Everyone loves to talk about the EPL bubble, but it’s not a bubble anymore. It’s just what it’s worth. Makes it more frustrating when we undersell our own TV deal, but what can you do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the Baltic leagues are trying things, bundling their rights together and selling them on. Or any of the innovations made in other sports - the ATP live; F1 live rights and additions in app, behind the scenes etc. We get f**k all though cos managed decline is best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem we have is that we lack bidders. The BBC and STV seem unwilling or unable to bid, which leaves Sky, BT and Premier. Premier don’t have the muscle, BT are trying to get out, so in practice you only actually have one bidder and they know that. So we need to innovate to get more bidders to the table, whether that’s through Prime/Netflix, bundling rights or whatever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not living in India I’ve been unable to sample it, but the Bisgrove deal for the SPFL rights had it to Star, which I think means it was under the Disney+ banner. Imagine expanding that wider as they look to get eyeballs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Every The Barclays team will now make about half of what the entire SPFL does in a whole season, just from US broadcasting rights alone.I just don’t get it. The EPL is a circus that represents everything that’s wrong for me with the modern game. An over exposed pantomime with hours of repetitive punditry, contrived excitement watching players dive, cheat, feign injury, argue with officials and the awful interpretations of VAR. Football tourists, half and half scarves, exaggerated goal celebrations (after a tap in) and the game being ripped away from communities and genuine lifelong fans, by greedy corporates. Sure there are some very good players, but there’s still a sense of ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ depiction about the whole set up for me. Our game isn’t perfect by any stretch but I’d take it over the Premier League down south anytime. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do it right, the next SPFL TV deal is probably on a streaming service (or at least with split packages, some to Sky and some to streaming). It’s not an easy situation with easy answers, but we need to innovate a wee bit here. The chances of a moron like Doncaster being able to do that are slim. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
