Premier League Football
So Sky won only 4 of the 6 Premier League packages available, how do we all feel about this?
Setenta won the other 2 packages which will no doubt go on their current channels. Anyone for Scottish football?
Anyone know who won the much sought after package 'A'?

I'm glad it didn't.
Sky have invested heavily into football, and got the nation in a football loving country again
I hope they continue to get the games personally

sorry, I disagree, in my opinion they have helped turn Football into an elitist sport, with too many foreign players & ticket prices that are daylight robbery.
I refuse to pay to watch football on TV, so in my personal experience it has totally turned me off the game.

Re: Premier League Football
When the EC poked their nose in it was supposedly for the good of the consumer. I can't see how having to pay more money on subscriptions is good for us.

Re: Premier League Football
So now, if we want to watch the majority of the Premier League, we will now have to pay for Skysports, Pay per view (Old PremPlus) and now Setanta. How is that good for the consumer? Because no doubt your favourite team will appear on all 3 (unless you want an excuse to goto the pub ).
I seriously doubt that Skysports will get a reduction in price, as that is a general sports channel and Premplus was one of the packages anyway.
It wasn't like Sky was doing a bad job either. Gits!

Re: Premier League Football
A mate just told me that the prize money for the bottom team is going to be the equivalent to the current turnover for some middle sized clubs, that's around £80,000 ,000, I am presuming that this includes the money that the clubs are given at the start of the season for the actual t.v. rights. However this does not include the money yet to be secured for the foreign t.v. rights. It has got me thinking obviousley as football clubs are now run as businesses they will not be putting the price's down, what are they going to do with all this extra cash, will they use it on behalf of fans or just give it to unscrupulous agent's and ever more mercenary player's, either way it makes the fight against relegation more interesting.

Re: Premier League Football
Teams will get around £40 million from the new TV deal. Relegated teams also get a parachute payment.
As for actual prize money, the team finishing last in the premiership gets less than half a million

Really, that is interesting because the figures did seem a bit wild to me, however when I asked him where he had heard this he said it was on 5 Live, he also said he was being conservative with the figures, so goodness knows what they were bandying around.

I said around £40mil its at least that - 50% of the total tv money / 20. 25% is then distributed by how many times you appear on TV and then 25% is prize money.
The prize money ranges from £484,96 1 for finishing last to £9,669, 220 for winning it.

Sky and Setanta have done a deal whereby Sky subscribers won't have to fork out any more cash to watch the games that Setanta have the rights to. http://www.rte.ie/business/2006/0509/setanta.html http://www.football365.com/news/story_184931.shtml
