The vicious circle of the Telly money that was created when the clubs left the Football League to create the Prem
The income is around £70-100mil from the Prem and all clubs need that money to pay the wages of the players that know the money is there
take away rhw sky money and the clubs will need to find other ways to bring in money - ticket prices ? Merchandise etc - it would be a big financial hole to fill
The fans at the stadium and on the sofa want to see their club play the best football and have the best players - the Prem has many of them because of the Sky money.
And I don’t think it’s going to change - Sky when they change dates etc they look at the worldwide Telly viewer - early kick offs for the Far and Middle East and late kick offs for the USA etc - those areas have paid billions to broadcast the games. The fan walking into the stadium doesn’t get a thought and the clubs don’t have the power to push it back because they know they need the Sky money
All this started with the Prem and Telly deals and then the CL changes and their Telly deals etc
Fans want the best players - but that requires money to pay for those players. Never ending vicious circle and how the Premier League is a worldwide league now
