Polarboy 2124 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I've heard from a sauce that this Friday will actually be the Friday, as opposed to all the other Friday's that were fake definite Friday's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team season tickets for all matches is still the way forward for legality imo. It’s been out of date for a long time. I always had hopes in the EU to abolish the restriction of broadcasting rights to national borders because it violates the idea of a free movement of goods. But the cartel of right holders and TV companies have been able to keep hold of their national monopolies. If it wasn’t for the money and stress involved I would have tested it in front of courts by applying for a Sky or BT subscription to use in Germany.

Not sure if you remember it but someone in the UK defended a case where they'd bought Greek satellite equipment and subscribed legally there which was completely legal under EU law. They lost as sky argued their content was uniquely tailored for the UK so was therefore "exceptional". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be some newer cases I am not aware of. But it might be like sports betting member states tried to restrict for several years, winning a few cases at the ECJ but where national monopolies got weaker and weaker.

wykikitoon 16631 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I know :lol:utter horse shit if you ask me. Premier league need to stop fucking about. It's a total farce now. Players are coming upto contract renewals, fans still waiting for refunds etc. It's just a shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I dont know how you lads feel but they way this is playing out I'm at the point were I'm watching this sheik/take/fake over just to see were it now leads. For me any excitement of it has been drained out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonatine 9990 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Would be typical of this club that when the Fat Man decides he wants out, the only fuckers to come up with the cash gets knocked back by the PL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 It's actually ridiculous what the premier league bloke has been saying that there is no timescale on it. How can they justify that? This is clearly effecting the fans with the refunds issue, it's effecting players in that contracts are running out and it will be effecting the staff with them not knowing who they will be working for or if they will have a job. Not that I care but it's also effecting Ashley too as he no doubt has plans for the money for the sale. Surely they can't be allowed to just drag this on and on with the hope that it will just go away. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 16631 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I, like Troops have had any excitment etc at the moment drained. At least with FCB we know where we stand. A fucking drained club with no fucking future. At the moment peoples livings are on the line and the PL are the main party to that? I would rather the Saudi's just said fuck it and walked away.

Rayvin 4964 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 There is no way that we should be remotely concerned about that £350m bid from some random American. The Saudis put down £17m to secure this and Ashley cannot walk away even in the face of a better offer. The only way Ashley gets to that £350m offer is if the PL knock this on the head. So that guy could have offered £1bn and it still wouldn't make any difference. We might even consider that if that is true, it could be a positive even if this falls through. I strongly suspect that there is simply no way for either party to do anything other than wait for the PL to conclude its process, unless there are break clauses built into the purchase agreement. And if there were, I'd imagine we would have started to hear about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
