Are we at the tv money era peak?
We are seeing some extortionate fees in the market and it seems we say this every transfer window. Sky are obviously worried about the online streaming of games and have tried making changes this summer in an effort to combat it but with it being so difficult to do, would you say that the current tv rights deal will be the peak of the prize money before a decline? We seem to say every year the bubble has to burst but the last 5 years especially have been beyond ridiculous.
Re: Are we at the tv money era peak?
I hope it bursts in the next couple of years to be honest because currently it's ridiculous. City in particular are spending at levels that even they can't see as sustainable.
Ironically, if the Board continues to manage the club as they currently do we could do nicely out of a financial collapse. There's won't be many clubs with cash in the bank like we have!!

It has to hit a plateau at some point. Many clubs without a benefactor will be in serious trouble. There isn't unlimited demand for Sky Sports and U.K. Subscriptions are declining.

I think TV is in a similar situation that music was 10 - 15 years ago.
Swimming against the tide and, the current TV deal is probably the high water mark.

Domestic growth is slowing down but foreign interest continues to grow each year.

Re: Are we at the tv money era peak?
Daniel Levy is one man who isn't willing to bet the ranch, despite Spurs ambitions. Others are starting to opt out too Bayern Munich have let it go on around them and cash in... so the signs are there that even at the very top people are getting nervous now. China has made a stand with the 100% tax on foreign transfers. It will continue for a year or two yet but I think we are reaching a turning point and long overdue in my opinion. As the billionaires lose interest there are going to be a few fire sales, and even clubs going to the wall. It happened big time in Italy a few years ago it would be foolish for people to keep thinking it couldn't happen here.
Re: Are we at the tv money era peak?
The idea that a number of bigger clubs will go bust is fanciful at best. All that will happen is a similar scenario to Bolton - go into administration, drop down a couple of leagues, spend a season or two down there and return to the higher divisions.

I agree the big clubs will get through it with a fight, but the ripple effect will destroy clubs down the ladder. With downturns its always the minnows who suffer most.Spijed wrote:The idea that a number of bigger clubs will go bust is fanciful at best.

Re: Are we at the tv money era peak?
With a strong governing bodies in charge such as FIFA AND UEFA, I'm surprised something hasn't been done
It's blatantly nearing a level where something needs to be done to protect the game from itself. A worldwide salary and transfer cap would be a decent start - it's probably only being avoided because of how difficult it might be to administrate.

Yea the TV money will end one day but the internet will take over. Google/YouTube or Facebook will take up the rights to live games in a few years giving you options to stream any match you want for a fee

When we were in the Championship we did not become poorer because Portsmouth went bust.
Burton are not in financial trouble because Bolton are skint.
Badly run bigger clubs who fail present an opportunity for small clubs to overtake them.

Re: Are we at the tv money era peak?
I would agree with the caveat WELL RUN small clubs.... of which there are a few. Obviously fans become a factor too in a turn down, smaller clubs will not be able to overtake the big clubs purely because they don't have the footfall of the established giants.... but I'll give you the gulf will narrow for a time.Rowls wrote:Not at all true.

The argument you make is like saying Poundland didn't go bust because Woolies went bust. True but if they didn't react to the underlying change in economic circumstances they could well have done.

The top clubs aren't really in need of sky money. They're bankrolled by billionaires now, just look at the overseas clubs that have moved that way too.

Re: Are we at the tv money era peak?
It's an interesting debate. As stated above. There are so many clubs bank rolled by billionaire's these days. The overseas market pretty much pays for it as well. It's huge! Is it sustainable? It doesn't show any sign of slowing down. Is it morally right? Or fair on clubs? That's another debate.
As long as there is a football club to support, fans will pay to watch it. You could argue fans who actually pay to attend account for next to nothing of the revenue generated, such is the allure. It's a catch 22 for a fan I guess. I think most of us think it's gone crazy but we'll still turn up and watch. I guess, if I liken it to a Movie star, I can deal with it better. That being. They are multi millionaires and don't give me 1% of the pleasure and/or pain a footballer can give me in a few seconds and I keep coming back for more. Maybe fans are just sado masochists by nature?!

Re: Are we at the tv money era peak?
I don't know one way or the other to be honest. I just think that as long as a product has a market, it'll gain massive sponsorship deals. The Premier League and football in general, particularly in Europe is a global phenomenon. I guess the point I make is the traditional love of football and that tribal aspect. We support our club through thick and thin (well some of us do, KRBFC/abluclaret) and regardless of result we still go. If you see a crap movie by your favourite actor. You're likely to at least reconsider watching his/her next one. I hope that makes sense?! In my head it does.elwaclaret wrote:Not sure I 100% agree with you but a very good argument you put across and you could well be right.

Re: Are we at the tv money era peak?
I suppose we could just look across the Atlantic as to how football will go as global branding. Not for us traditionalists but very likely "the product" will become more important than the traditional club.

I know it's happened with MK Franchise and you could argue Arsenal (Woolwich to north London)l.

I was with Sky from the early days and paid £80 a month until my aerial blew off course. So yes, it has peaked!

My Dad blamed Jimmy Hill, but then he had a dislike of many people. My youth was shaped by his disdain for pretty much everyone and I had to find out for myself that most people actually are alrightVegas Claret wrote:I blame Jimmy Hill

Re: Are we at the tv money era peak?
Football TV money is a little like religious evangelicals. It will seek out it's own level until no stone is unturned. Does Sky have a contract in Botswana yet?
Re: Are we at the tv money era peak?
Clubs have always spent big money. There's just more zeros on the end these days.
