TigerTedd Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 1 hour ago, Ambitious said: It looks like Sky are happy to walk away from the table due to poor viewing figures in the Championship this season. A new article come out suggesting they will be showing less games and will therefore pay less money (no doubt still owning the rights to all the games). It’s an opportunity for the EFL to be creative with their product bringing streaming platforms to the table, (failing that) give teams the option to control their own broadcasting rights. Saying this, I have no doubts that they will accept a s**** deal with Sky and continue the period of austerity it has governed as it continues to eat itself. Part of me is glad, the other is aware this will have long-term financial impact on the team I support as day-by-day we sleep walk into a situation where you simply can’t have the Premier League and EFL coexist. Less viewing figures for the championship this season you say? Should improve once we get promoted. ‘you’re only here to see the rams.’ Rammy03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They championship has lost a lot of their big teams in recent years - us, the dirties, red dogs, wednesday, etc all used to bring in a lot of viewers but are no longer in that league. It would be nice for someone to show more than the bare minimum of efl games - especially in leagues 1 and 2 Rammy03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football in this country is too big six centric so the more EFL teams can lean on those big names the better for revenue. Rammy03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I earmarked Rotherham, Blackpool, Wigan and Hull as the most likely to go down from the Championship this season. All four are exceeding expectations so far. If just two survive, it will mean another biggish club will drop. I hope it’s not Coventry. It would be funny if it was one of Boro, West Brom or Cardiff given they all had parachute payments in the last five years or so.

Shame we only seemed to hear from the ones that did? But absolutely don't wish them to lose their Club, but almost impossible to show any sympathy to some.
