I can assure you now, there is serious discussions over a streaming model.

The company I work for were at a meeting last week with the Premier League along with other companies to discuss.

You will definitely know more than me but I thought (initially at least) a streaming model was just for the overseas market.

Is it possible that the domestic market could be in scope?

The one they read out on the day, but has never been seen or reported anywhere else since.

See below that takes you back to the video.

I actually turned on ssn at the time so saw it live .Iike a few people have said i get the impression they where reading it from a newspaper and read the statement and then the opinion of whoever wrote the piece?(Don't know which newspaper) or it was a statement by the club but they shouldn't have read the last bit out live on tv it was a real wow moment because it's not something you expect to hear from are club .It's certainly never been repeated again on ssn to my knowledge

Was an error. Wasn't City's statement. It was the Mail story so either a background briefing note from City also used by the Mail or nothing at all from the club.

A pretty big error to make! But that is why I keep putting it in quotation marks, fwiw.

I've been between that and their failure to separate what the club may have said (which in reality would be maybe 2 or 3 lines of what was read out) and journalistic analysis. But still, even those bits that sound like they came from the club are fairly significant and a strong tone.

Full transcript below, I've highlighted in bold what I think might have been a comment from the club, and the rest maybe their failing to separate what they were reading out, and the journalistic commentary all bracketed as one. The last line after 'the statement finishes with' should in theory be part of a club comment too, but I somehow struggle to believe that.



SKY: 'Manchester City Have released a statement, it starts : Mancheste City's legal action of the amended APT rules remains ongoing, and the club is confident the tribunal will rule in their favour for a third time. The club feels vindicated, they say, in challenging the Premier League. This ruling is potentially seismic on a number of levels. In finding the premier league original APT rules unlawful in their entirety, it opens the door for legal action, any deals thatb
were rejected or reduced in value under the system operating between dec21 and nov24 could now be subject to hefty compensation claims from clubs affected. The clubs could also sue if they feel their competative performance was harmed by a decision made under those rules. The premier league may now also be responsible for covering the legal bills for the entire process so far, and that is understood to be already more than £10m. The statement finishes by saying, in addition this is a further blow to the Premier League against the background of a government pressing ahead with plans to appoint a independent regulator.'

You'd of thought the whole covid fiasco and empty stadiums would have put a stop to pricing increases but it didnt sadly.

Not sure if its a good or a bad thing for match day going fans.

Just have to look at leagues like serie A, all games on tv and lots of empty seats etc

Nothing beats the atmosphere at the ground. Unless the PL and the clubs continue to relentlessly sanitise the match day experience and the game itself, in which case there may be trouble ahead for the sport as a whole.

It's certainly lost It's soul, but that's what you get with this money making system.
 
Mail snippet:
The Premier League had been due to vote the new systems through for next season at a meeting earlier this month. However, following Manchester City's victory in their legal challenge on rules around sponsorship deals the ballot was postponed.


Instead, the systems will continue to run in
'shadow'.

wtf does that last part mean? Making this up as they go along.

Oh and apparently we did win! Who would have thought -:)

Just mean they'll use the existing rules (whatever that actually means now) but will run everything through the rules they wanted to bring in as well to see if it works. Oddly enough, they've not made that bit up.
 
Question - with Liverpool reporting record losses the other day in a period where they didn’t recruit much on player sales. Salah, Alexander Arnold and Van Dijk all potentially being moved off the wage bill and no fees being recouped. There will be a need for them to be active in the market and replacing those players won’t come cheap. How do they then begin to go about rebuilding when their preferred method of interest free owner loans has now been closed off to them?

How did they loose money when they have been ok on the pitch making money in the past and haven’t spent big ? Could it all be new stand costs in which case they are fine anyway

Stanley park has space for at least another 5 phantom stadiums they can write off losses against.
