“PREMFLIX” - Premier League T.V.

[Neiler]

Looks like they using Singapore as a Canary in the mine and if succesful likely rolled out globally.

Be worthwhile keeping an eye on what this means for us.

For example up to this point any TV rights deal has been collective with an equal share amongst members via some incrntivation in placement money and frequency of being in TV.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Scab 6 make a power play here and look for a bigger share of the TV pie - end collective bargaining and look to profit from individual subscriptions.

In that case, while we would be the worst off, we would defo be adversely affected compared to world wide support bases of other clubs.

You say that now but the big clubs will make a play to own their own rights and do a deal with the premier League to sell themselves to maximise profit for themselves.

It'll have to be a collective agreement. They can't exactly blur out the opposition team if a club doesn't sign up to it.

When money is involved, anything is possible. Greedy people will make it happen.

The last TV deal with Sky the Premier League had to drop its knickers and offer up an extra 100 games to get an improvement on previous deal.

The bigger clubs will want more of a cut in the pie and they will get it in the end.

We used to be one of them, we was one of the five clubs who broke away from the football league to create the Premier League for greed.

We were part of the original scab clubs to break away from the Football League.

If we still had a seat at the top table we would have joined the Euro League. We even threatened in the 80's to do it.

Yes, not a good part of our history.

Then they get super-excited by the initial numbers that for some reason don't scale upon expansion. VPN companies must be creaming themselves and buying all the Singapore IPs they can.
