Project restart discussion.

Bein own the EPL rights. So they are showing us they won't pay the PL clubs if it's cancelled.

Would the PL have a hard time finding a replacement for Bein? Bein might find it harder to replace the PL.

If they are worried about repaying TV money, dont repay it. What are Sky going to do? Sue their main reason for existence?

Void, start next season, lob a few more games at Sky/BT, and jobs a goodun.

Sky havent paid the money mate, they pay it in August.

Everton get a bridging loan every July cos we cant pay our bills.

Maybe not... but i'd doubt at the minute they'd get a better deal from anyone. And some of the clubs probably couldn't survive without the tv cash at the end of the season (which they may not get)

Hence why the clubs will go bust if they don't finish the season

The outcome of Germany doing a round of testing for all their players will be interesting - they're currently on with it now and assume they'll share the stats. If it's ridiculously low, can see that the premier League will quickly jump on it to accelerate their own comeback.

Yeah..... let’s test footballers before front line staff

Sky need the PL. They won't rock the boat and ruin the relationship. Amazon or other streaming sites would be more than happy to step in and take the profits.

Hope thats not the case!

I have already said I havnt a clue how they pay the money. Wider point I was making is that TV and the PL need each other.

There's no way any PL club should be going bust. And how would sky argue they aren't going to pay. They've provided 27/38 of what they paid for - 71%. So how could they decide to pay 0%?

Yep, but in the short term the PL needs the TV cash far more than the other way round

Probably because it's written into the contract the PL agreed to?

They could easily go bust! If you spend more than earn.. it ends at some point

Who knows but I doubt it.

Sky are finished if they lose football. It's not going to happen.

They are still businesses and no business in the world will pay something they dont have to.

What about the PL slush fund of £1.5 billion?
