Neymar

That's because Brussels DGlV ballsed it up. Europe wanted more competition without understanding football's fan relationships. They insisted that no broadcaster should have a monopoly but decided to split the games between 2 or 3 broadcasters thereby forcing fans to take out 2 subscriptions. They should have ensured that at least 2 broadcasters had rights to televise live the same games. That way the broadcasters could only compete by offering a better service, better pundits or a better price. As I said they got it wrong because they don't understand football and the fans.
Well said that man.
 
The PL might be disappointed next time the domestic contract is up for renewal. BT seem to be struggling for viewers, and Sky have admitted their viewing figures are falling, a straw poll amongst football fans I know (mainly match goers to be fair), suggests at least, that people are drifting away from Sky, and not renewing their contracts, we were chatting at work last night, fans of three different clubs, and we were all watching considerably less games on TV.

Is the next deal covering all outlets? i.e does BBC/Sky/BT all have their rights end at the same time and have to rebid? I'm hoping ITV doesn't get the Premier League again, their MOTD show was shit.

I didn't know that. Very poor form by them.
 
This must lend credance to someone who posted about Barca tapping up Veratti and them goin after Neymar? Didnt PSG threaten us not so long ago? Cant remember which player it was. Was it the same one?

Not sure the two are really linked no reason to think if Barcelona hadnt tried to get Veratti PSG would have stayed away from Neymar.
Nor would they have committed nearly half a billion on a player they werent bothered about just to spite Barcelona.
