yes we all know the scenario that exists.
My question is what did Brentford do to earn that tv deal.
What did they contribute towards that Sky deal getting signed?
As has been said any EPL team moaning about the money in the game is cringe as fack !

I get what you are saying now. Yes clubs who have beniffited from the TV deal have nothing to moan about. That said the current two cash doped clubs don't really play under the same cash restraints as all the other teams so have a distinct unfair advantage.
But saying that when ManU were winning everything they also had a financial advantage over every club too.
I sometimes convince myself that a draft system like the US maybe worth a try so every prem club gets top players not just the clubs with the most money.

yes but at this level your arguing over which serial killer is worse. the guy who killed 250 people of the guy who killed 300!
a bit extreme I know !!
Im just pointing out the extreme hypocrisy in fans of clubs moaning about money when in comparison to the every other club on the planet outwith England dwarves even the biggest, most famous and best teams. and in turn in the reason completely average players within the league go for 40-60m !
Other teams need to hold you to ransom just to be able to half compete. The price of players nowadays is pretty much as a result of the EPL.
|UPDATE: LEVY is refusing to pay an extra £2.6m for Pedro Porro so Sporting are refusing to sanction this deal.
My view is that Levy has the right to back out and stop Sporting's antics - it's not professional and it will hurt the player if subsequently he is left at stagnating at the club.
However, this is all from the fact that Levy went in to do some haggling instead of just paying up. Levy always thinks he is 2 steps up on other business people, but he is finding out now that some other chairman has got him by his balls!

I would love to see tv deals done away with.
Each club sets up their own and the fans that are tuning into see those teams provide the income.
That way teams will earn what they generate from rather than just handing out obscene amounts that would run other clubs outwith England for decades let alone 1 season.

Clubs are asking too much for players these days…
Brighton want £70-£80m for Caicado… ridiculous…
It’s all getting out of hand…
Blame the likes of Chelsea… overpaying for every player they sign… gives selling clubs a yardstick to go by…
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeh football has seriously lost the plot. Gordon, an Everton reserve has just been sold for £45 million, when he is probably worth about £10 million tops.
Transfer fees have been badly inflated by the financially doped clubs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope you're referring to the gang of 20 financially doped clubs that is the Premier League. 20 clubs that are guaranteed at least £120m worth of TV money every season before they even kick a ball or sell a single ticket.
Not to mention the other 72 clubs down the English pyramid that are also financially doped thanks to the Premier League's largesse in the form of annual "solidarity payments".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
shhhhhhh
they dont wanna hear the truth.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The PL aint doped. It's money earned you clown?
Doped clubs have had owners who have pumped in 100s of millions or billions of pounds which the club didnt earn
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Both City and Chelsea fit the bill for financially doped clubs. Both spent money the club haven't earnt.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"earned" Brentford : 120m a year in tv revenue alone
Ajax: : 8m
Porto/Benfica: 14m
Rangers/Celtic : 600k
Brentford get more than double of any other club in the world outside England in domestic tv revenue.
earned !!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That is because Brentford have secured entry to the most sought after football league in the world which is watched by 100s of millions and brings on vast sums as a result. They did this through qualification, not being gifted it and indeed without the aid of parachute payments.
Your dumb argument is like saying clubs in the UCL are doped because they earn upwards of £50m for playing a few games.
The Dutch league, like the Scottish, no one watches outside of their countries. Provincial interest and status, thus financially inferior.
In fact the logical conclusion of your argument is the European Super League where clubs earnings relate to the size of the clubs and is largely a closed shop.
Massive Scottish chip on your should. Get over it. The PL is wealthy because it is THE top product

The success of the PL is based on the fact that the money is shared. It means that at the top Man Utd dont take home £300m TV money compared to Brentfords £20m....and thus it remains competitive, if United take home £150m and Brentford £120m.
It is an approach that underpins the attraction and the success of the PL. It is the most watched league in the world because of it.

no please explain what Brentford contributed towards that Sky deal getting signed?
Massive Scottish chip? na thats pretty presumptuous?
does that mean I need to be English to make my point?
If you really wanna go into it since your comparing the viewing the figures... you think that the deals offered by Sky to other leagues reflect the amount they get in viewers?
is do you really think (and I will use scotland as an example since I know the facts about us) do you think the money split between Sky and the scottish clubs is proportional to the split in england per viewer?
and thats goes for things like match of the day etc also.
so take the number of people who tune into watch the scottish games on Sky and match it with the number of viewers the english teams get for their games.
you think the money handed out is equal as a percentage of viewers.
cos I can assure you its not.
Further update |
The deal for Pedro Porro is still alive, just!
The player has every interest to see this deal through, and this may translate into some action from him which could force the chairman's hands....
Meanwhile, Spurs are lining up Hincapie deal, on the side. Whether this is a plan B or just it was always going to be a bid for Hincapie, but Spurs looks like have submitted the bid for the player.
In other news, links are growing of Maddison leaving Leicester, with Spurs being linked strongly.

Dont be daft.
Brentford contribute to the Sky deal by being a part of the Premier League, in the same way that Lisbon contribute to the UCL deal by being a part of it.
Its not being financially doped, it is to qualify for a highly prestigious and financially wealthy tournament.
They qualify, ergo they contribute to its value.
As for its value, the Scottish league has no attraction outside Scotland. None!
The PL sold the last lot of Global TV rights (2022-25) for £5.3bn, that is more than the £4.8bn paid for the domestic rights.
the PL is shown in 188 countries, and last season estimated that it was watched by 3.2bn viewers world wide.
So of course the amount of views is critical as it is the subscriptions that pay for it and the greater the viewers the more valuable the advertising space. IN addition, the ability to reach a global audience also makes it far more valuable.
Would like to hear how many viewers the Scottish PL gets. Using some basic maths it needs to be about 10million viewers to be proportionate to the PL, based on the SPL TV deal of £30m a year....but you probably have the numbers at your finger tips so happy to be shown wrong.
AND, you do have a chip. Irked by the fact that small PL clubs blow Big Rangers finances out of the water....Always going on about the "doped PL" like some bitter sibling with an inferiority complex.

Wouldn't disagree with all that but will say that Celtic and Rangers do have a decent sized world wide following and I'd imagine the TV viewing figures would be quite high? sadly a lot to do with the religious aspect oftentimes but if they were EPL clubs they would bring something to the table
That said I don't agree with the "financial doping" thing, the EPL is huge worldwide and must generate absolute fortunes more than any other domestic league and perhaps only the Champs league would be slightly comparable?
Do you know what… this whole RWB situating is starting to really p*as me off…
We are being held to ransom by UnSporting Lesbon…
Why not just play Kuleveski at RWB( he has said that he can play there)… & play Danjuma further ahead.
We still have Moura & Richarlison as cover.
Royal as back up…
Sell Doherty
Loan Spence
Sorted… £40-£50m better off to spend on absolute quality in the summer or a CB now!!

Brentford contributed nothing towards that sky deal being signed nothing.
You do know I am not saying they are financially doped that not a term Iv been using thats others complaining about other teams spending habits whilst completely ignoring his own club are 700m in debt !!
You keep bringing up Scotland and it has some viewing figures outwith scotland to say its none further highlights what your not actually using facts to back up your points.
Now I cant say for certain if these fgures are up to date or entirely correct now but they were at the time.
Scottish football was getting about 8% of the viewrs on sky that the english game were getting but the sky package that was offered to England in comparison was nowhere near reflective of that think it was around 2% of what England was offered.
I dont have a chip to suggest so would be incredibly ignorant given that I support Rangers and we unfairly monopolise the money in our country for your benefit. So quite the opposite infact.
Im talking about the domestic deal not the international rights deal which is separate.
So if the scottish game gets 8% of the viewers but 2% of the deal you think thats a fair split? cos it sounds a lot like your deal is being subsidised by ours (granted a small amount)?
ps the subscriptions parity is ever bigger so we can go on those figures if you want?

I do love the irony of Levy being "levy'd" by another chairman.... what goes around comes around baldy !!!!
What was it Fergie said about dealing with Levy "He enjoyed Hip replacement more"
And people still wonder why we have squad loaded with crap and players on loan all over the place.... Might have something to our chairman having a totally unrealistic valuation of the mkt & the crap he's bought

Bayern Munich
Barcelona
Real Madrid
AC Milan
Inter Milan
Juventus
Ajax
Porto
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Brenford earned their right to play in the premiership....the above clubs obviously can't which is not Brentfords fault or any other English clubs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yes we all know the scenario that exists.
My question is what did Brentford do to earn that tv deal.
What did they contribute towards that Sky deal getting signed?
As has been said any EPL team moaning about the money in the game is cringe as fack !
----------------------------------------------------------------------
so what your saying that Brentford are more deserving of twice the domestic tv revenue of the best team in the world on the basis of beating championship teams?

I get what you are saying now. Yes clubs who have beniffited from the TV deal have nothing to moan about. That said the current two cash doped clubs don't really play under the same cash restraints as all the other teams so have a distinct unfair advantage.
But saying that when ManU were winning everything they also had a financial advantage over every club too.
I sometimes convince myself that a draft system like the US maybe worth a try so every prem club gets top players not just the clubs with the most money.

yes but at this level your arguing over which serial killer is worse. the guy who killed 250 people of the guy who killed 300!
a bit extreme I know !!
Im just pointing out the extreme hypocrisy in fans of clubs moaning about money when in comparison to the every other club on the planet outwith England dwarves even the biggest, most famous and best teams. and in turn in the reason completely average players within the league go for 40-60m !
Other teams need to hold you to ransom just to be able to half compete. The price of players nowadays is pretty much as a result of the EPL.

|UPDATE: LEVY is refusing to pay an extra £2.6m for Pedro Porro so Sporting are refusing to sanction this deal.
My view is that Levy has the right to back out and stop Sporting's antics - it's not professional and it will hurt the player if subsequently he is left at stagnating at the club.
However, this is all from the fact that Levy went in to do some haggling instead of just paying up. Levy always thinks he is 2 steps up on other business people, but he is finding out now that some other chairman has got him by his balls!

I would love to see tv deals done away with.
Each club sets up their own and the fans that are tuning into see those teams provide the income.
That way teams will earn what they generate from rather than just handing out obscene amounts that would run other clubs outwith England for decades let alone 1 season.

Clubs are asking too much for players these days…
Brighton want £70-£80m for Caicado… ridiculous…
It’s all getting out of hand…
Blame the likes of Chelsea… overpaying for every player they sign… gives selling clubs a yardstick to go by…
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeh football has seriously lost the plot. Gordon, an Everton reserve has just been sold for £45 million, when he is probably worth about £10 million tops.
Transfer fees have been badly inflated by the financially doped clubs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope you're referring to the gang of 20 financially doped clubs that is the Premier League. 20 clubs that are guaranteed at least £120m worth of TV money every season before they even kick a ball or sell a single ticket.
Not to mention the other 72 clubs down the English pyramid that are also financially doped thanks to the Premier League's largesse in the form of annual "solidarity payments".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
shhhhhhh
they dont wanna hear the truth.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The PL aint doped. It's money earned you clown?
Doped clubs have had owners who have pumped in 100s of millions or billions of pounds which the club didnt earn
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Both City and Chelsea fit the bill for financially doped clubs. Both spent money the club haven't earnt.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"earned" Brentford : 120m a year in tv revenue alone
Ajax: : 8m
Porto/Benfica: 14m
Rangers/Celtic : 600k
Brentford get more than double of any other club in the world outside England in domestic tv revenue.
earned !!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That is because Brentford have secured entry to the most sought after football league in the world which is watched by 100s of millions and brings on vast sums as a result. They did this through qualification, not being gifted it and indeed without the aid of parachute payments.
Your dumb argument is like saying clubs in the UCL are doped because they earn upwards of £50m for playing a few games.
The Dutch league, like the Scottish, no one watches outside of their countries. Provincial interest and status, thus financially inferior.
In fact the logical conclusion of your argument is the European Super League where clubs earnings relate to the size of the clubs and is largely a closed shop.
Massive Scottish chip on your should. Get over it. The PL is wealthy because it is THE top product

The success of the PL is based on the fact that the money is shared. It means that at the top Man Utd dont take home £300m TV money compared to Brentfords £20m....and thus it remains competitive, if United take home £150m and Brentford £120m.
It is an approach that underpins the attraction and the success of the PL. It is the most watched league in the world because of it.

no please explain what Brentford contributed towards that Sky deal getting signed?
Massive Scottish chip? na thats pretty presumptuous?
does that mean I need to be English to make my point?
If you really wanna go into it since your comparing the viewing the figures... you think that the deals offered by Sky to other leagues reflect the amount they get in viewers?
is do you really think (and I will use scotland as an example since I know the facts about us) do you think the money split between Sky and the scottish clubs is proportional to the split in england per viewer?
and thats goes for things like match of the day etc also.
so take the number of people who tune into watch the scottish games on Sky and match it with the number of viewers the english teams get for their games.
you think the money handed out is equal as a percentage of viewers.
cos I can assure you its not.

Further update |
The deal for Pedro Porro is still alive, just!
The player has every interest to see this deal through, and this may translate into some action from him which could force the chairman's hands....
Meanwhile, Spurs are lining up Hincapie deal, on the side. Whether this is a plan B or just it was always going to be a bid for Hincapie, but Spurs looks like have submitted the bid for the player.
In other news, links are growing of Maddison leaving Leicester, with Spurs being linked strongly.

Dont be daft.
Brentford contribute to the Sky deal by being a part of the Premier League, in the same way that Lisbon contribute to the UCL deal by being a part of it.
Its not being financially doped, it is to qualify for a highly prestigious and financially wealthy tournament.
They qualify, ergo they contribute to its value.
As for its value, the Scottish league has no attraction outside Scotland. None!
The PL sold the last lot of Global TV rights (2022-25) for £5.3bn, that is more than the £4.8bn paid for the domestic rights.
the PL is shown in 188 countries, and last season estimated that it was watched by 3.2bn viewers world wide.
So of course the amount of views is critical as it is the subscriptions that pay for it and the greater the viewers the more valuable the advertising space. IN addition, the ability to reach a global audience also makes it far more valuable.
Would like to hear how many viewers the Scottish PL gets. Using some basic maths it needs to be about 10million viewers to be proportionate to the PL, based on the SPL TV deal of £30m a year....but you probably have the numbers at your finger tips so happy to be shown wrong.
AND, you do have a chip. Irked by the fact that small PL clubs blow Big Rangers finances out of the water....Always going on about the "doped PL" like some bitter sibling with an inferiority complex.

Wouldn't disagree with all that but will say that Celtic and Rangers do have a decent sized world wide following and I'd imagine the TV viewing figures would be quite high? sadly a lot to do with the religious aspect oftentimes but if they were EPL clubs they would bring something to the table
That said I don't agree with the "financial doping" thing, the EPL is huge worldwide and must generate absolute fortunes more than any other domestic league and perhaps only the Champs league would be slightly comparable?

Why not just play Kuleveski at RWB( he has said that he can play there)… & play Danjuma further ahead.
We still have Moura & Richarlison as cover.
Royal as back up…
Sell Doherty
Loan Spence
Sorted… £40-£50m better off to spend on absolute quality in the summer or a CB now!!

Brentford contributed nothing towards that sky deal being signed nothing.
You do know I am not saying they are financially doped that not a term Iv been using thats others complaining about other teams spending habits whilst completely ignoring his own club are 700m in debt !!
You keep bringing up Scotland and it has some viewing figures outwith scotland to say its none further highlights what your not actually using facts to back up your points.
Now I cant say for certain if these fgures are up to date or entirely correct now but they were at the time.
Scottish football was getting about 8% of the viewrs on sky that the english game were getting but the sky package that was offered to England in comparison was nowhere near reflective of that think it was around 2% of what England was offered.
I dont have a chip to suggest so would be incredibly ignorant given that I support Rangers and we unfairly monopolise the money in our country for your benefit. So quite the opposite infact.
Im talking about the domestic deal not the international rights deal which is separate.
So if the scottish game gets 8% of the viewers but 2% of the deal you think thats a fair split? cos it sounds a lot like your deal is being subsidised by ours (granted a small amount)?
ps the subscriptions parity is ever bigger so we can go on those figures if you want?

I do love the irony of Levy being "levy'd" by another chairman.... what goes around comes around baldy !!!!
What was it Fergie said about dealing with Levy "He enjoyed Hip replacement more"
And people still wonder why we have squad loaded with crap and players on loan all over the place.... Might have something to our chairman having a totally unrealistic valuation of the mkt & the crap he's bought
