This could shake things up a bit

What impact would this have on Clubs (i.e us) and the huge amount of money we receive from the PL and Sky.....

This could be bad..!!

If it means the EPL renogotiating with SKY in the wake of a defeat in the European Court it would be bad for those who are reliant on tv revenue. Those with big turnovers based also on stadium receipts and their commercial operations would weather the storm better (although top English clubs in Europe might suffer if their total revenue takes a hit and they cant sign all those big talents).

Kenwright and Elstone will be sweating like a paedo in a nursery this week.

Good find

I think the [Poor language removed] may be about to hit the fan!

How reliant are we on sky money compared to others?

This is from 2008 http://soccerlens.com/english-premier-league-football-clubs/13878/

...and shows that four-fifths of EFC revenue came from TV money compared with a third for Arsenal, half for Villa, a third for Liverpool, half for Chelsea, half for City, a quarter for United, etc etc.

I think that may be an overestimation of Everton's tv proportion of revenue, but not much: probably just under three quarters from there now as merchandise has picked up a little anyway.

The gearing is poor though, as I'm sure Elstone has said in the past.
 

I agree with her, the Premier League is using a restrictive practice or if you like a cartel and of course are fronting for Sky. Not only a question of freedom of choice but human rights.
 
I agree with her too. I don't care if this is damaging to the English League and we end up not being the "best league in the world". I'd like the choice, when I can't attend a game to watch it on TV at a non-prohibitive price.

AT the moment I could get a sports package for about £45 a month over 9 months - £405. Chances are in that time (i.e the whole season) I'd get to see about 6 or 7 Everton games. 6 of which would be against the SKY 4 meaning my chance of seeing a game that Everton win is slightly reduced (despite our good form against the top teams in the last year).

Its the biggest rip off in town.

I should be able to press a button on my remote and watch Everton play (for about a £5) - its the ENGLISH premier league isn't it. Why is it easier to watch in Oman or Tanzania or Malaysia than it is here. And as for attracting people to grounds. Well they should make the tickets more realistically priced then.

Cost me about £100 to watch Newcastle the other day (train ticket plus match ticket). Trust me, that wasn't value for money. Considering the way we played it was worth about £2.30.

I know this would be damaging to the business to the club, but they should think of their supporters for a change.
 
This wouldn't damage the revenues. It'll just curtail the ever expanding revenues (£1.8billion last time).


This will keep gold-diggers and the billionaires out as there's less potential for revenue growth... OR it will force investment in Stadia and other revenue streams.
 
I hope she wins, too. I want to watch Everton, I can't get to many games as it's a 400 mile round trip to Goodison and there are no premiership clubs in the South West, where I live. I think Birmingham or Vile are my nearest, now Pompey have been relegated.

I'm not giving £450 a year to Satan Murdoch to watch a handful of games a season. The current set up is not much short of organised crime. Agree completely neonleon. With current technology there should be no reason why I can't "press the red button" and watch for a nominal fee.
