To supplement this they require more money from the Prem via TV rights. 3. The Prem demand a higher fee to broadcasters for the games. 4. Because the broadcaster is a business they still need to recoup that money and make some profit on top therefore they charge higher fee to the consumer. The only way to reduce the fee is to reduce the 1st step. The reason these foreign broadcasters can charge lower fees is because they pay less to the Prem for the rights only picking certain games therefore can afford to charge the consumer less. To summarise, if every club reduced the wages of there staff by 10%, that 10% should trickle down the line all the way to the consumer.

This is bound to happen especially for sky...when comcast overplayed by alot for sky they were asking a gamble on sky being bigger than it already was,the biggest issue for sky is soccer has a stranglehold on UK among other sports,if they don't have the epl I think they fear they might even take a bigger hit with less subscriptions....I think if the epl was growing it audience in the UK on a free to air channel ,they broadcaster would have no choice but to get a deal that makes sense for them considering they are at the mercy of the advertisers and perhaps it would be an slight overpay while projecting towards the future but at the current moment with sky seems like the epl has them over a barrel and in turn sky thinks they are doing the same to their subscribers...the same goes for other markets every time the media rights are renewed the dish always increases to cover the overpay cos these companies can't make a loss especially if they have investors

TV companies pay exorbitant amounts to secure rights, then charge advertisers and subscribers exorbitant amounts accordingly to try and make a profit. We, the public, have no say in what advertisers pay, yet we end up as end consumers paying a premium on those products and complain about price inflation. Same with sponsors - they just keep paying higher prices and we ultimately get hit in the pocket. The only way it will end is if people stop buying products associated with football, which let's face it isn't going to happen any time soon.

@abyss7049 Год назад

The real criminals are the broadcasters. The guys that were sentenced are modern Robin Hood's in my opinion!!! Also if the broadcasters reduced what they were willing to pay to acquire these rights, then these greedy footballers on huge contracts would have no option to reduce their demands when the greed fuelled contracts they are already on were coming to an end. If broadcasters agreed that there was a threshold they were not willing to go above in terms of paying for rights then the prices would come down. However, this will never happen, because if one broadcaster did bid lower the other broadcaster would just go higher. It's a vicious circle

@JnoPrds Год назад

You’ve got it the wrong way around. Broadcasters have to pay high because that’s what the premier league (ie the 20 member clubs) set the price at. The clubs set this price because they have to pay crazy player salaries. If you trace it back to the origin it stops at the players and their agents. You introduce a pay cap then everything flows through and would cost less. You have to trace the money back all the way. You can’t stop at the middle of the chain (ie at broadcasters).

Spot on Simon. Footballers could earn half and still be mega rich and never need to work again. IPTV would only be killed off if legitimate subscription services were pretty much equivalent to the cost of IPTV and to achieve that they would have to pay less for the rights which gives clubs less to spend on players. The future is bleak, I can see even more subscription services in the future so at the moment we have sky, bt and Amazon, but in the long term the number of providers will grow as TV revenue will only grow IMO. Thus IPTV will continue.

Jordan says some athletes have lost the principal of earning the rewards of your talent. We've seen players like Oscar literally saying he went to China because of the ridiculous high wages. Now we have players who don't care about playing/give 100% effort as long as the money is coming in. On top of that due to this crazy money some players get a "bigger than the club" treatment because of their monetary value for the business side of the club. At some point it makes football boring & fans are at the receiving end of clubs wanting to make their money back from these amounts they pay for players

I actually think the problem is the blackout. People don’t necessarily opt to commit crimes to watch football because of the price points. It’s an access issue. Because the games aren’t televised in the UK and only abroad, so the only option to watch your team is by committing a crime. This in 2023 is utterly ridiculous. Most people aren’t generally criminals, but you have to understand fans love there teams so much they will do whatever it takes to watch them live. I think if Sky for example had broadcast rights for every Premier League game, people would happily subscribe. They could offer single team access for a cheaper price for people who only want to watch there side. You could also then have a full season package for a higher cost. Would this fix the problem entirely? Absolutely not, but it would certainly help. I’m a Newcastle fan and getting a ticket is pretty much impossible, due to demand. Everybody should be able to watch there side if they are willing to pay and watch it through legal means.

This issue need to be looked at through the perspective of 3 parties. Premier league/broadcasters and finally fans. Currently the league are benefitting the most in this 3 way relationship, the broadcasters have an average deal as they are paying exorbitant prices to the premier league rights and losing customers to illegal streams however they charge an arm and a leg for a select number of games. The fan is the worst off, multiple packages, cost etc. How do we change this whilst trying to keep competition amongst broadcasters? My answer would be the premier league should offer a flat fee (set by the FA) which means 5/6 broadcasters can have access to all games not a select few. Naturally the market forces will determine the monthly fee, for example I would rather pay Amazon £20 a month for all games with no analysis/punditry than paying £130 for BT with Neville et al. But some fans might be willing to pay more for this. For my fellow economic nerds a natural oligopoly has to be cultured. Unless something like this happens the premier league bubble will burst and we will see players leaving wholesale to other leagues as clubs can't maintain wages or we will see premier league games held in 'more profitable' locations.......

This is just 14 minutes of Jim and Carlton completely misunderstanding Simon’s argument. If it’s the case that 95% of the broadcasting money goes straight into the pockets of players, then how much wiggle room is there really for lowering subscriptions prices, without player salary cuts? The broadcasting money is a major source of income for clubs, and so if clubs are constantly having to spend more and more on wages and fees as a result of a hyper-inflated market, then the broadcasting costs set by the PL need to be higher, and so broadcasting services pay more and need to charge us more to make it viable. No change happens without the club running costs, vast majority of which is player salaries, coming down first!

It’s not even just the price of sky for football. It’s the fact they pick and choose matches to show. Sometimes you can months without seeing the team you want to watch.

This is crazy to me. In the US you get every game you want anytime to stream for roughly 15 dollars per month. Never had as much access to football as when I moved here. People in England getting fleeced, sadly

Wait you guys in the UK are really paying that much just to watch games? In the states we have Peacock/NBC Sports who stream every prem game for 4.99 a month. Paramount+ streams all European competition games for 4.99 as well.

Working a minimum wage job here full time, cost of living is going through the roof for me and as much as I enjoy watching football it’s simply out of my budget these days

In Norway to watch all of English football (premier league, fa cup, carabao and championship) it's all on one channel for 749 kr which is 54 pounds in todays exchange rate.

@markgrant2436 Год назад

Yes it's expensive but can't they have a red button push each week to watch your team instead of a match that they choose

I’m an Aussie Rules fan in Australia - we have live broadcasts at the same time as game time for the vast majority of games in a season, attendances are as good as they have been, even though season memberships and game day tickets are a bit pricey (plus food prices at the stadium are ridiculous)

It’s not the premier league clubs that will suffer if you lose the blackout. It’ll be the 72 EFL clubs baring a few with huge support
