Clampdown on TV 'Dodgy Boxes'

They’re making hundreds of millions a year. Take Southampton for example. They’re gone from the PL this season. If they don’t go straight back up, they’ll get about £50m in solidarity payment. Same following season? They’ll get about £33m Third season? £20m.

Players are only worth what people will pay for them. Clubs won’t pay over £100m for a player, they’ll be sold for less or go on a free at the end of contract and club will get nothing.

If they have to sack cleaners etc, the club is being run as a basket case and they’ll probably lose their jobs no matter what when the club goes pop, like Leeds/Rangers.

All of Sky’s newest offerings are online based.

Theirs absolutely nothing to worry about, sky will still be able to bid more than the others. If someone else gets more matches they will still want to cater to the hungry customer base who can't live without football. The clubs and the public will be ok, they just have to make some adjustments. Sure theirs too much money in football these days anyway.

He's not totally wrong, the less money the clubs have the less staff they employ. Happens all the time across all divisions when teams are relegated.

Your partially right too it is **** management, practically all football clubs are geared towards the playing budget & nothing else really matters. PL clubs not paying the living wage when sharing 3 billion a season. Man United with one of the highest revenues in football leaving their fans sitting under a leaking roof

A lot of UK reseller recommend using a VPN now for football especially. They reckon the isps are monitoring traffic on their side & throttling it. And passing this info on to sky + pl to go after the source servers. The both of them well aware of piracy, don't agree that neither want to admit how bad it is. all the takedowns are from alliances from the rights holders or broadcasters.

Sky being a broadcaster + ISP quite handy here, all in t&c's about passing info to third parties for illegal content etc .

Now TV.

Sky own offering is being used by IPTV providers.

But some people still want to watch paid content for free god damnit!

They sell the rights worldwide. If I didn’t have a firestick I wouldn’t have sky. They’re losing nothing by me watching.

They need to cut their cloth accordingly. If they haven’t that’s a them problem, not a me problem.

Not sure how many there are like me but I can say for a fact if I didnt have an IPTV sub I wouldnt have any kind of Sky or Now TV package anyway.

Id have what I have now without IPTV: Netflix, Disney+ and watch Match Of The Day.

Some of the stuff I watch out of pure curiosity. E.g. Jake Paul and Tommy Fury dancing about like 2 clowns in a boxing ring.

Never would I pay for such a farce outside of IPTV.

Who are they ? It must be the EPL you are talking about because they are the ones who sell the rights.

Who are they ? It must be Sky or another broadcaster because they are the ones who broadcaster the games.

Who are they ?

Who is your beef with Sky or the EPL ?

If it's with both and you want to see changes then forget about the premier league as you have known about it for decades.

Forget about the multiple games a week, the big money signings, the European success for English clubs etc.

Because if you want cheaper access to soccer be that on TV or online then the EPL are going to have to charge less for their rights, and less money for rights means less games on TV and less money for the clubs.

nice plan, probably too late though, many are well happy with their current choices, they generally offer much more anyway.....

Sky sports do that in the UK, but no here.

In UK you can buy say a Golf subscription. This gets you sky Sports Golf and Main Event. Same with NFL when its on, you get the channel you subscribe too plus main event as far as i know.

Pretty sure its £10 per month
