The club seem proud being part of it the cheeky twats. I legitimately pay for access to the broadcasters showing games this season then they do this.
Some boss fixtures that’ll get the money rolling in. Fulham and Villa fans must be made up.

Exactly... 2.99 everyone would buy it. They'd get more revenue from that than 14.95.
I’ll bet he will still take the pay day and appear on the sky panel or commentary team.
It's as if they get dazzled by shiny objects. I guess they do. They were idiots to agree to paying back money to TV companies last season -- why?? The TV companies were getting more games and bigger audiences, and yet they were claiming a refund??? Now they're changing the contract again! Does the PL not have legal advisors and not just accountants?
It’s not Sky or BT changing contracts in this instance. The league have provided more games for Sky and BT to show via their subscription channels. I still don’t understand the whole rebate shit for the reasons you pointed out.
This is different. These are games that were never selected part of that pool, what we would class as Saturday 3pm.
The clubs are the villains here. The tv companies have asked “how about those games we normally don’t show due to contractual and legal reasons, we make pay per view and you get a good whack of profit from those games?” The clubs, not giving a single shit about fans, said yes. Apart from Leicester. Had they said no, the fans would be in uproar, then maybe they’d have been shown on bbc/amazon/normal bt and Sky. But that’s a slightly different issue.

The biggest revenue earners for Sky and BT are Pubs/bars who are closing down at an alarming rate, with the new rules those that exist are probably cancelling their TV contracts.
Also, clubs are losing millions per home game that is played at an empty stadium. Players and staff still need to be paid. So it's no surprise that PPV is being considered. I am guessing they thought when people pay £15 per game it will be friends and family chipping in to watch a game.
At £15 a game, will any club even get 20k subs, I wonder what the commercial price (the price to pubs and clubs) would be per game?

It's almost like they forget about the 'rule of six'
We will smash 20k. West Brom Burnley won’t.
Which is shite, because West brom, Burnley and alike are the exact type of clubs who will have most of their games on PPV.
Suppose their logic is they'll.make some money, as opposed to none
If those games aren’t loss making then I’d expect all the massive games will end up PPV. They will
Make a huge return then and increase the gap at the top of the table. Us fans will get screwed over. As usual.

That is exactly what they’ll do if the numbers are good for them.
It is connected to the last contractual revision, because there's a blatant contradiction there. The rebate was accepted by PL clubs even though the broadcasters were able to screen all the games rather than a quota of games; that was still, the PL clubs bizarrely agreed, a 'diminished' product. Now the PL clubs, after once again agreeing to make all games available for screening, want to charge for certain games and return the rest, in effect, as a quota. Which ought to prompt the broadcasters to claim that the package has been further 'diminished'. It's as if a group of cats are doing the thinking for this mob.
That’s insane.
So you can sit in your own empty bar and watch Sky for free ... that some silver lining for all that lost business
Yeah all the pubs are fucked, I'm just explaining why sky must be grasping.
I don't know why the premier league doesn't have their own platform at this stage. Why bother with all these providers and weird contracts when they could leverage the tech netflix built and go it alone?

Sky and BT are charging the clubs production and administration fees for these games. The clubs get the rest of the dough. This is the clubs being greedy cunts.
I think someone posted something about the potential Netflix model. It might have been on the athletic.

The last time I purchased IPTV it was £60 for the year for EVERYTHING and use on 2 devices at the same time. I expected everything to be on Sky/bt all season so went legit because I couldn’t be bothered with VPNs and poor quality apps. More fool me.
The Clubs need to realise COVID could kill the game if they're not careful. It's shite watching the game without fans in the ground and I'm not going to pay £15 a game. At £5 there's a conversation to be had. £15 may work for boxing or WWE where it's every couple of months and for a big event, but for footy, where teams can be playing twice a week, where only a handful of games each year carry that "premium" quality, no chance.
