F1 is already a shadow of its old self thanks to Liberty Media. When Frank Williams, the last of the privateers, passed away it signaled the beginning of the end for me. It’s too much of a ‘show’ now.
Yep the Netflix fans and the end of 2021 killed it for me. It’s a show like WWE not a sport anymore
 
If the Big 6 leave the current pyramid goes pop overnight
I find it hard that people can’t get this through their heads . The big 6 are the real draw and bring all the TV contracts and sponsors into our league . No one will want to watch Bournemouth v Luton and the value of our league will plummet overnight .
 
why does it?
PL broadcasting deals would collapse in value. Clubs would then face losing most of their income, can’t fulfil inflated ludicrous salaries they currently pay. Lower down Solidarity payments and trickle down through inflated transfer fees disappear. Owners of championship clubs take on the clubs with the aim of getting into the riches of the PL, suddenly the clubs they have have far less financial potential than when they bought them, so they just abandon them.

Anyone would think the EFL hadnt just agreed a much bigger TV deal for the Championship and below. Oh Wait....

And as for the money they "provide" how much do clubs actually see?

You mean like a financial reset where clubs wont have to reply on a State owning them to compete? Or having to pay 150% of their turnover to compete?

The fact that the bottom team in the Premiership gets about a 100m should tell you everything you need to know . Hopefully Sunderland will soon be part of that but not if the big 6 left .
 
The Middle East, Saudi in particular, are well on the way to taking over sport, fuckin stinks to be honest. Exactly the reason it should’ve been nipped in the bud before they got going but too far down the line now. Wonder how many of those morally decent footballers will take their money whilst completely ignoring the fact their regime goes against every one of the campaigns they’ve bestowed on us in recent years. Joshua’s already shown his true colours in Boxing, many footballers to follow.

In modern football terms, the EFL deal is peanuts. There would maybe be a reset in time, but clubs losing £100m TV income literally overnight would go to the wall.

No, they have to restructure according to income. Same as any business would.

What happens if the next PL TV deal is only half the value as TV companies decide its not worth it?
So your hope , dreams and aspirations are to compete with Bournemouth.?
You wouldnt swap with Bournemouth now then? Id like us to be able to compete without needing a State to buy us and in a vaguely competitive league

Then they’d have similar issues. You can’t restructure immediately when you’ve got 4/5 year contracts to fulfil.

Maybe this will be the thing that bursts the bubble and for the vast majority of clubs things go back to how they were before the mega money deals came in.

Whether every club can survive that is another matter.
 
The fear of the Big 6 leaving is what keeps them at the top and 90% of the money to themselves
It is. But it’s because they’ll go bust if they leave. It’s a nasty cartel that was allowed to happen and there’s nothing anyone can do.
