WBridgfordowl Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 No one knows how this season is going to pan out and let’s be honest, in the scheme of things, football is fairly insignificant right now. But, if the season is cancelled, or as seems likely postponed for a lengthy period, then the football clubs will be in breach of contract with the TV companies, with an inevitable knock on effect for clubs finances/ffp etc. How many premiership clubs can remain in business without TV money, advertising, sponsorship etc What will happen to our own already stretched finances? Wages must be paid but no revenue coming in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howards back Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I’m more worried about the poorer teams in league one and two. They don’t have the millions that the premiership have, they rely on match day income and now there isn’t any. If the big boys can’t survive on their multi millions well it’s tough shiit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weshallovercome Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 With DC pricing out POG's we're probably the only club that can ride this wave, funnily enough. But kobayashi's right, force majeure would come into play, season ticket holders would need to be reimbursed in some way though, or it could get messy(er).

marble Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) Premier League are putting detailed proposals/options including financil implications of proposals to all 20 clubs by the sounds of it. EFL need to do the same. Edited March 14, 2020 by marble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minton Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 TV money has already been paid. The only additional TV money clubs will lose out on is the live broadcast games, which is £1.1m per game for premier league teams, £100k for championship teams and then I think it's around the £35k for league 1 and 2 (not sure on the last 2 figures though). So not much lost there. The big issue for lower league teams is the POTG money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower down, gate money becomes essential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similarly, sky may have received advertising revenue from a company who want to advertise during football. There’s potential for redress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ranges from £2M to £36.5M. Could well be some arguments there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weshallovercome Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I've just read on the BBC site, the EFL are proposing clubs can go into administration without incurring a points deduction as a way of getting around the financial implications. Thought that was rather kind of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 DC did say that gate money barely paid the wages of the clubs staff. It was pretty irrelevant in other words. No problem then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
