they cancelled because they hadn't paid what was owed, its a power play to get the money

Or to get a competitor to pay more money

yeah either way, I cannot see them not having a broadcast deal in China by the time the first game kicks off

Shall we bid for it? £2.50 and a signed photo of Joachim.

Sutton will be upset. St Etienne are a massif club. #LeBantz

That the thing, the money was due in March so a double whammy on the money the clubs had to pay back to the TV companies

they didn't pay any money back yet it was due to come off of next seasons money as clubs had already spent it

well why wouldn't they have? No business would budget for a global pandemic, the money isn't paid in a lump sum the premier league receive it in instalments

I'm not arguing as to why they would.

The model isn't sustainable because what happens if they don't get another Chinese bidder at the same rate?

Would you bid the same amount or more when you know one of the main competitors is out of the race?

Seems to me like the power isn't with the premier league here.


Also spending all of the money before you've received it all is sustainable?

 

[Skitzo]

That company isn’t out of the race, they can bid to get the rights back, the contract was breached as they hadn’t paid so the Premier League cancelled it to resell
