    Premier League top 6 want a greater share of the TV money

    in Newcastle Forum

    Posted

    Just when you thought the ruination of English football couldn't get any worse:

     

    https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/sep/27/premier-league-clubs-block-big-six-tv-cash

     

    The Premier League’s six richest clubs are facing stubborn resistance against their efforts to seek a greater share of income from the next multibillion‑pound round of TV deals.

    In a plan believed by the 14 others to be supported by Manchester United, City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, the Premier League is proposing to end the system by which money from international TV rights sales is shared equally by all 20.

    Richard Scudamore, the Premier League’s chairman, is understood to have presented a proposal to a meeting of the other 14 clubs held at the Pullman hotel in London on Wednesday, for 35% of the next international TV money to be distributed according to “merit” – in other words, where clubs finish in the league.

    That would be a major change to the arrangement which has operated by agreement since the original 1992 breakaway of the then First Division clubs to form the Premier League, which was itself motivated by the bigger clubs no longer wanting to share TV money with the Football League’s other three divisions.

    Income from international TV rights 25 years ago was negligible, so the clubs agreed to share that money equally, while only a third of British TV income is divided equally, the other two-thirds shared according to where clubs finish in the league and how many times they are shown on television.

    Now, though, the Premier League’s popularity has made it prime content for burgeoning pay-TV operations around the world, delivering approximately £3bn to the 20 clubs in the 2016-19 round of deals. That bonanza added to the £5.1bn from the competition between Sky and BT for British subscribers, plus other highlights deals, makes a total of £8.4bn in the current three-year cycle.

    The distribution of TV money last season showed that the champions Chelsea received £151m in total while bottom-placed Sunderland were paid £93m, but the booming international income was shared equally, the 20 receiving £39m apiece. The so-called “big six” clubs argue that as the global revenue rises, as it is expected to again when the 2019-22 deals start to be negotiated later this year, they should receive a larger share because they are the ones which international viewers tune in to watch.

    The other 14 clubs have been resisting these moves, in an effort to hold on to their equal share of the money. They are arguing that the sharing arrangement helps them to sign high-quality players and keep the league, as Scudamore describes it, “competitive and compelling” and therefore attractive on TV. Three of the smaller clubs are said to have been inclined at the meeting to agree the new 35% merit payment arrangement, but the agreement of 14 is needed to effect such a substantial change, and 11 remain firmly opposed.

    A meeting of all clubs has been called for next Wednesday in London to finalise what the sharing arrangements will be.

     

    Brighton v Newcastle 24/09/2017

    Think this game/result has a correlation to last season, in which we struggle to break the shite teams down when we need to. Hence the losses to absolute garbage like Blackburn home and away, Wolves at home, Ipswich away et cetera. We'll do better against the better sides: against Tottenham we restricted them to absolutely nothing before the red card and I'm confident that if Shelvey had not been a petulant wanker we would've gotten a point at the very least from that game.

    I've not read any of this thread/this place nor seen any coverage but, having been there, I thought we deserved a point and I certainly didn't think they'd done enough to take all 3. Merino was the best player on the pitch, first half in particular. Everything went through him. If anything, Brighton seemed to out-Rafa us, in that they were compact, organised and very deep. The ball from Merino to Shelvey around the 83 minute mark which was phenomenal. Indicating that Merino will find him if they're playing together. I thought Perez was awful first half and Joselu may need a spell out of the side too. Gayle would've had two today. Atsu had Bruno on toast in the 1st half so should have been used more and more.

    He probably is. I just dont famcy paying 20 million for someone who is just a tiny bit better.

    I don't want us to pay £20m for him either, however, going by how Demarai Gray is apparently worth more than £25m, Nathan Ake is £20m, maybe around £17m-£22m is the rate for him in this ridiculous market.

    He's had one decent season in his whole career and that was only in the Championship. He's Graham Dorrans 2.0.

    Was good season before last as well. Better than anything we have at #10.

    Cairneys shite and I don't think Gayle wants to go just if he feels he's being flogged then there's only one option for him.

    No, he isn't. Did you not see the Fulham home game last season where he was the main reason they took us apart that day? Showed he was a class above the Championship last season. Personally would have him in a heartbeat; would sort our #10 issue out.

    I know how the chant goes. :lol: Personally speaking I think it's a bit shit and a bit of a cop out towards the owner. Anyway, point I'm making which has flew over your napper is that older fans can also see how Ashley is operating, (do you not read this forum?), and there's no premium on age and sussing the owner. I was protesting against NUFC boards before you were born, man! Just thought your older fan comment was a bit of a strange thing to say. 

    Hence the word 'some'. ;)

    Newcastle vs West Ham

    Two weeks from today around this time the mood of the fanbase will be firmly set.  Games @ Swansea followed by a home game vs Stoke. 

     

    My hope is that our results are reasonable, so the fans that go to the games concentrate on supporting the lads on the pitch and not get sidetracked to shouting and singing songs about Ashley out. If the mood is focused toward Ashley during games we're in big trouble.

    Agreed. A good points return from the next 3, Swansea (a), Stoke (h), Brighton (a), say 5+ points and the mood going into Liverpool (h) and the break after should be a fairly stark contrast to now. And I agree with the matchgoing fans at the atmosphere; as long as Rafa is here which I expect him to be, I'll do my utmost to support the team.

    I heard some young'uns singing 'we don't care about Ashley' v West Ham. Seems its not just older people who don't have your unique 20-20 vision.

    I believe that is part of a much longer and more incoherent chant, which I believe goes "we don't care about Ashley, he don't care about me, all we care about is NUFC", so it's not really saying they genuinely couldn't care about our illustrious owner. And if unique 20-20 vision is seeing that the club can be one of the top 8 clubs in England under the right owner and manager, then Ashley really has won.
