'All Or Nothing' - NO SPOILERS! - no content discussion

Yeh guys, I totally understand why Sky wouldn't want Amazon bidding for live action rights. But as I pointed out in my post, Scudamore and the PL do this every single time the rights are up for negotiation - link a company that has no intention of bidding, and they never end up bidding.

Apple, Facebook and Disney all linked in the past with outbidding Sky for the rights, but it never happens. Amazon is just the latest company to be linked with bidding for the main rights, but they never do.

If you go back and look over the last few bidding cycles, the exact same story appears at exactly the same time across all the newspapers when the rights are due to go to tender. I'm sure Sky are wise to it by now.

Amazon making a documentary about City and Amazon bidding for the main UK Live TV rights to the PL are two completely different things. I don't think Sky will be at all concerned about the former, and given Scudamore's previous, I don't think they will be too concerned about the latter.

You don't have to. Modern TVs are internet enabled and you can watch Amazon Prime/Netflix/iPlayer etc on the TV.

Time to get rid of the black and white portable. ;-)

Sky Sports execs 'unhappy' over rival Amazon Prime's £10million deal with Manchester City for 'fly-on-the-wall' TV series

Amazon will film the main characters behind-the-scenes at the Etihad for an entire season - from in the dug-out and in the dressing room to on and off the training pitch

Sky Sports executives are reportedly 'unhappy' at details of a rumoured £10million new 'fly-on-the-wall' TV series about Manchester City to be broadcast on its rival Amazon Prime which have leaked.

The club is said to be in the final stages of finalising the details for a new documentary with the online broadcaster - despite Premier

The highly lucrative deal is set to allow the TV newcomers to film behind-the-scenes - everything from in the dug-out and on the training pitch to in the dressing room - at the club for an entire season.

It's understood that they will have "access all areas" permission to follow the main characters on and off the pitch for a series of programmes that will only be available on Amazon Prime - home to shows like Jeremy Clarkson's The Grand Tour.

Now £24m over three seasons according to Charlie Sale's column today.

He broke the original story.

£24M!!
That's only 25% of a Pogba

In all seriousness, I think it's not the money but the global advertising that is the appeal
If it coincides with a period of great success the name Delph will be rolling of the tongues of Beijing
 
£24 million is a huge amount, and if anywhere remotely true, then City have stolen a march on everyone else. To be honest, I would think the other lot will be scrambling to do a similar deal with Netflix asap, and probably for more, but that'll be the only other option for anyone.

They have been talking to Tinder about potential tie-ups - about their level.
 
How can Sky have the cheek to be pissed off about it? If they didn't treat us like shit and belittle us at every opportunity, maybe they'd get the time of day that we're giving to Amazon.
