TV Rights

Found the following image rather interesting. Shows the distribution of money from TV rights.



The last placed team in the premier league earned more then the third place team in Spain. Odd distribution.

You saw the article a day or two ago about Liverpool thinking about trying to get the Premiership to move to the Spanish model?

well the Premier League in an entity on its own, and was started on the basis of a TV deal, with more equalized shares for its "shareholders" as part of its "corporate" model, which would run independent to the country's lower leagues ...

all other nations have their federation funding all footballing tiers, with TV deals allowed to be negotiated on a club-by-club basis ...

the only reason the Premier League model was successfully implemented is because most of the world is anglophone ... after carving out its market share, the hype and marketing has been ported to other languages ...

The Spanish system looks broken too me, how are other teams supposed to compete, Barca and Madrid getting £100 mil more then the next team. Unfair advantage?

I can see Liverpools point of view though... they want the money their fans generate.

You either have it fairer from the leagues point of view or fairer for the clubs point of view.

Their again you could do a Man City and balance the odds that way :D

It's not even JUST that, there are like 14 Spanish clubs without shirt sponsors because of the tv deal situation. I mean, VALENCIA can't even secure a shirt sponsor.

That really is quite unbelievable isn't it, crazy.

I didn't know that. How do they generate money then? I'd love to know there operating income... I guess its quite amazing what they can do with there funds.

Sponsorship and TV rights must be huge.

I think they need to change something, would hate to see the entire league go bank rupt or lose spots in UCL. Del Nido makes another comment today about it, seems it might be getting more serious...

I think a reform would affect Real more than us, we have the cantera and I don't see players like Messi, Iniesta, Cesc, Busquets, Piquenbauer, etc leaving because the club must lower salaries.

Madrid on the other hand will lose at least Cristiano, maybe Benzema, Ozil, Kaka, Mourinho. Can't imagine how much CR7 will cry if he falls in second to Messi in wages too, what's that leave him with his looks? :rofl:

Starting XI
Madrid and Barcelona would do just fine with a smaller cut. They would still have a massive advantage over other teams due to ticket sales, merchandise, sponsorships, etc. They don't need 10 times the TV revenue as well.

Still, i don't think the rest of the teams would challenge the title with a fair distribution, Barça and Madrid are just too good. They would compete better though. Hope Málaga make some crazy signings next windows.
 

Sevillista

Starting XI
Madrid and Barcelona will not be topped anytime soon, but that's because they have the money to keep getting better each year, distancing themselves farther from the rest of the league.

A better distribution of money from TV rights could go a long ways. Teams could invest more in their youth systems, have a better shot of keeping their homegrown players, and could make some quality signings. Better teams means a few more draws and losses for the top two, and maybe some seasons we could have a surprise like Valencia and Depor back in the days. Of course Madrid and Barcelona have no interest in this.
