Jamboross Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 3 minutes ago, Armageddon said: We’ll sign a deal with Disney, because it’s only about 2 teams and he Disney care about the rest. Not because it's a Mickey Mouse league? I suppose this is welcome news, any extra revenue for the league isn't to be sniffed at even if it is likely a pittance. I'm hopeful this ex-Netflix bloke who is keen on investing in Motherwell has some ideas and contacts he can put forward to the league about getting a deal with one of the streaming services. It's most likely the future of sports broadcasting and Netflix themselves are seemingly more interested now in broadcasting sport (they've recently signed a deal with WWE to broadcast all their shows from 2025) after previously being against it. Clearly we're not exactly a prestige brand but there's probably value to be had in one of these services picking up rights to SPFL games to pad out their offering.

OTT Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 The SPFL urgently needs a CEO with some commercial awareness. He's locking us into long term shit deals. Its hamstringing the leagues ability to respond to changing market conditions. Instead of allowing the clubs 5 games a piece to PPV, these should be launched on a League streaming network to build a backdoor competitor to Sky. The viability could be tested over the duration of the current deal, and a decision could be made to either force Sky to get serious about Scottish Football, or kick them out should the concept be proven through testing.

Lone Striker Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Not sure if I misheard him on the radio, but Michael Stewart pressed him on whether the "extra package" of fixtures definitely means they will be live on a TV channel even if no-one's bid gets approved. Donkey said there were already bids in, and muttered something about "Edinburgh derby". Each club will still be allowed to show some of their home games on their own PPV service (Hearts TV) so long as one of the big TV companies isn't showing it live ? I think he said 8, but not sure if thats an increase on what they can do now or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Berry Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 "Crucially, having the ability to take a further 20 games to market. We're in the process of that at the moment. We issued a invitation to tender to various broadcasters and we're working through the responses now." Why didn't you take it to tender before extending Sky's deal to 2029?

jamboinglasgow Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 7 minutes ago, Chuck Berry said: Nobody should be CEO that long. That said, it lies squarely at the door of the clubs who won't bin him. Yup. There has many times when he should have been sacked, but the latest of the Rangers and Cinch debacle should have seen him and the chairman sacked. So the question becomes, why do the clubs (or those who can sack him) not want to get rid of him. As much as anything the fact he has been in the job for 15 years is astonishing, normally you have to be doing a pretty amazing job for the clubs (see Scudamore for the Premier league who just kept getting more and more money for the clubs.) I would say it is not a bad idea to sell a tranche of 20 games to other broadcasters, to get more money but also to get broadcasters a foot in that when the next round of broadcast rights is sold may make them more likely to compete with Sky. However I dont trust the SPFL to do this well and it shows up the original Sky deal as the nonsense it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what they were labelled in the 80s. The old firm such as it was died in 2012 when the then Rangers went into liquidation, and no longer existed. The present incarnation have been a club/business since 2012. I couldn't care what Glasgow based journalists claim, or the totally stitched up Five way agreement states. Rangers football club went out of business in 2012. The entity known as the old firm died 2012. To the right thinking amongst us. The old firm has not existed since 2012.
