Administrator Stan Posted December 10, 2020 Administrator Posted December 10, 2020 This has been going on for a while hasn't it? Hopefully there's some good news soon for them and a deal is struck eventually.

Hopefully there's some good news soon for them and a deal is struck eventually. Only started this season. Just no where near enough subscribers. Needing 3.5 million to make any financial sense and they have 600k. The most likely solution seems to be a vastly reduced television deal with another company, and all the financial troubles that it'll bring nearly all of the clubs. After rushing to call off the end of last year, and the money missed out on, to start this (proposed) much more lucrative deal, all the clubs will have missed out twice on television money to go along with the loss of income from fans.
El Profesor Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 BeIn will probably step up and buy the TV rights for a decent sum. At least I hope so. I mean, the qataris have the money and it's not on their interest that Ligue 1 enters a huge crisis as it would affect PSG.
Dave Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Seems like the ITV Digital debacle on a far larger scale
ScoRoss Posted January 18, 2021 Author Posted January 18, 2021 LFP hoping for a new television deal at a 46% reduction from the original.
ScoRoss Posted February 17, 2021 Author Posted February 17, 2021 After the League Cup was cut, Marseille are also pushing for the downsizing of the league from 20 to 18 teams. Whether this is just trying to get a bigger slice of the shrunken television deal, or clearing out more matchdays for the expansions of European competitions. Seems like a grab for the money that is left, rather than something positive for the whole of French football.
ScoRoss Posted June 11, 2021 Author Posted June 11, 2021 Amazon is in the bidding for the domestic rights for Ligue 1 / Ligue 2. With Italy's domestic rights now mainly on a streaming service, and some Bundesliga matches in Germany, France could be the next for changing the usual television deal.
Eco Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 I wish ESPN would just pick up these rights now that they have La Liga, Serie A, and Bundesliga. Would be so much nicer.

6666 Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 Interesting video on the subject. Didn't know the people that own Man City, now own Troyes as well. Will be interesting to see how much they invest into the team. Will it be anywhere near the Man City/PSG level? Or will it be similar to Jim Ratcliffe with Nice?
