It's based on teams playing in Europe- I think Man City are playing this weekend because their European game is the week of the 25th/26th so they'd only have ten days off 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drift Posted 5 February 2020 Share Posted 5 February 2020 £308k is a nice salary, but it's crazy to think that some of the young emerging players such as Hamza and Barnes are probably earning more than the CEO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be curious to see if Abu Dhabi keep on throwing the dough. All the stories about rebuilding the team are going to cost serious money. And things are tense in the Middle East right now. I think Pep might be like Daniel Day Lewis and just say screw it for awhile. Move somewhere new, hang with his family and learn a new craft. Recharge. He has the money and the rep so he can come back whenever he wants. On his terms. Or maybe he's in on the rebuild. Who Knows.

Will stay for another couple of seasons IMO. It's hard for any team to win the league twice in a row, but he's now trying to win it three times in a row and compete with one of the greatest teams ever assembled.

I don't think he'll leave of his own accord but something is going to give one way or the other. Usually when a team is coming to the end of a "cycle" and the players have basically had enough of the manager and his methods, it's a choice between replacing the manager and revamping the squad. In most cases that's a fairly easy choice for owners to make as the former is much cheaper and easier, but I wonder if City might be the exception given how difficult it'd be to adequately replace Pep and the resources available to them for new players.

If the Premier League sell this package (say at £15 a month) to that audience then they make that 4.5bn a year. That's not including the millions of adverts they'll show in that time.

The only reason I can see for them not doing it, is that it would be a colossal pain in the a**e and you risk damaging your brand if you do it even slightly wrong.

twister Posted 5 February 2020 Share Posted 5 February 2020 This prem flix idea is perfect why outsource your content to Sky and BT when you can do what the NFL does and show the majority of the games yourself and earn billions world wide. They could have a good morning premier league like they do with the NFL as a example. They dont need sky and bt anymore do do that, they could show the remaining packages on Amazon and Apple who have the ability to stream worldwide every week.

Dahnsouff Posted 5 February 2020 Share Posted 5 February 2020 The Premier League don`t need Sky, BT or Amazon, or any other such company, but some do. They have boats, houses, etc to finance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried, using the (I admit, thrustingly modern) metric of 'points' to show this is not the case. Using your own choice of statistic(s) to show that we are actually in immediate danger of being overtaken by a bunch of mockney winkie-rubbers is an exercise left to the reader. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People say this but Amazon and Apple currently don’t have the infrastructure in the UK of the production companies like Sky and BT have amassed. It’s a significant investment on this side which holds them back. Amazon were very reliant on utilising BT’s backroom staff for their coverage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have that many households with Sky but the average Premier League game on SKY gets viewing figures of around 1-2million. The most watched televised game of all time on SKY was 4million. That's on UK of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, given the amount he has spent another season without the Champions League and he might be given the old P45. When you spend a billion quid I don’t think second in the league and a league cup day out at Wembley is even close to good enough. With what he has spent, he has underachieved in his time at Man City. I don’t think he can keep underperforming and keep his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
