Project restart discussion.

[Archie Knox]

If the PM on Sunday says no sports in groups until end of June as reported: surely that’s the final nail in the coffin?

They are going to find a way.

So another 600 odd people die yet we need football back ASAP to save the nation apparently. Stupid

600 didnt die today or yeterday. Backlogs are been included.

That’s my point they may not want to pay out prize money if voided , the last quarter of the season is probably there most exciting time , more games shown possibly better viewing figures losing a quarter of your tv revenue is a huge amount of money to all clubs with the possibility of even less next season as well . Don’t forget sky have postponed anyone’s sky sports subscription until the sport is resumed . A business getting less revenue is not going to want to put themselves in financial straits too .

Sky and BT are paying for broadcast rights. The prize money per place is merely part of how the league chooses to distribute the cash.

They’ve had circa 75% of what they’ve paid for. If the league doesn’t complete they could ask for a refund for the outstanding games or they could agree some additional fixtures in future seasons etc.

I'm not saying that and I'm all for football being void. Just stating that the daily deaths are not accurate

That winner against the mancs last minute that wasn't given is the perfect case in point

Still knocks me sick that

The noise in the ground was off the scale, then the dreaded 'Goal Being Checked'

Did Sky and BT have to refund subscription money for games not shown? Not sure why they are so bent out of shape.

Sky and BT are losing subscribers. Their whole model is built around broadcasting live sports. Their life blood has dried up. They’re completely bent out of shape.

BT give their phone customers the sports for free dont they?

And Sky have way more than just sport. They will both be hurting, (who isnt?), but I doubt neither would have much enthusiasm for killing the PL.

If there not accurate why declare them then ?

True. The wardrobe budget will be the first to go..... hello 90s (put the kettle on luv!)

The way they’ve been reported has been the same throughout, so therefore the daily reported figure is an accurate indicator of where we are.

I dont care anymore to be honest fellas. Am done on football if they restart, theres too many more things important now. If Everton players decided to become window cleaners I would follow them and sing appreciation from the driveway. Love this club always will but the league it is in is corrupt

Sky pay in installments, they never pay upfront, the last payment for this year is due in August and it includes merit money for league placing.

Broadcasters dont have to ask for a refund, they just wont pay.
