EA Strikes Big Money Deal With Premier League

[HelloCity]

EA Sports is reportedly on the verge of agreeing to a new six-year deal with the English Premier League worth some £488 million — a contract said to be worth more than double the value of the original deal.

Sky Sports reports that clubs were briefed on the deal on Friday, which is expected to bring in more than £80 million annually. In return, EA will retain the rights to some of the most popular teams in the world, including Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool.

The new deal reflects the strength of the EPL, which has grown into the most profitable league in the world thanks to its lucrative television deals. It has made the EPL an international powerhouse, allowing it to steal away major stars like Erling Haaland.

Interesting to think that the deal is probably worth a shit ton more because of our club and the players we have.

Guess they don’t see the irony in this deal at all.

Hypothetically then we could get dumped out of the league and replaced by someone in the Championships play off slots - lets say Millwall - am sure EA Sports are just going to love that
