No good.

 

[Pothas]

At this stage I am just refusing to believe that he would be sacked.

 

[GIMH]

Saves you sacking him midseason though, as is the way with clubs just up from the Championship

BBC Sport - Premier League set to announce record £4.4bn TV rights deal

Good god, when will this bubble burst?

When people stop pretending it's the only game in town, so never.

A few Adkins mentions it has to be said. It is rubbish though, we are most likely still not getting promoted anyway.

This has to be a contingency, or maybe Warbs has already told them he is off. **** knows to be honest.

 

[GIMH]

Lining up Micky Adams IMO

There are many things to dislike about the Prem, but I do still find this amusing because every bore in the pub or on lower-league forums are always saying "what will happen when Sky stop giving them money".

Like, the Prem isn't hugely profitable for Sky, and the basis around the entire success of the Sky platforms.

 

[Uppercut]

This definitely doesn't count as a bubble. If you think it is you should short-sell football clubs.

5.14bn, holy ****. This is only going to get more extreme

 

[sledger]

Haha look at the disparity between Madrid/Barca and the rest of La Liga. No wonder the the league is a basket case.

This gladdens me.

Someone just Tweeted that 5.14 Billion is half the annual budget for the Home Office. **** me sideways.

Quite right too. Last thing we want is statist fat cats spending all the money. #pews4eva

Yeah, that's why I find it bizarre how anyone can actually dislike Atletico Madrid. Them winning the league and trouncing Real on the weekend is so, so good simply because so much is against them.

 

[Furball]

Those German numbers will change seeing as they recently signed a €1bn rights deal.

 

[Cabinet96]

Want Arsenal to put 8 past Leicester tonight. Get vengeance for Saturday.

How are those figures worked out? Seems to closely resemble the table but a few switches here and there

 

[Cabinet96]

I don't know. They must know the split each team gets per game? Then you just have to multiply it by the amount of games they each had on tv. Obviously it's pretty similar to the table because by large they have the top teams on more than the bottom ones.

Yeah but it's too similar to the table to just be that, and also surely Man U would be higher as I'm pretty sure all their games are televised, even the reserves.

 

[Cabinet96]

Well, not all their games are televised in the UK, Liverpool had the most games on Sky/BT last year. Not sure if that reflects overseas TV money as well though.
