MrBlack Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 BT sport making a 2bn loss might see a few improvements to the TV offering from TNT when the ownership changes. Surely they can't just be planning the same thing under a new banner. Ultimately though, it wasn't their shambolic commentary and punditry that cost them. It was the fact they had to pay so much for the rights in the first place. Football can't continue that way, although that is for a different thread I guess. Hopefully TNT offer something better than BT sport in the way of its football coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They clearly think ours and Brighton's season were a one off, same as chelseas and Tottenham, but that Newcastle's wasn't. There's no way that just because of the ownerships funds, newcastle are being treated to this exposure. There must be hundreds of back handers from Saudi, to anyone that will take them, if they toe the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least all you now need to be a big club is to be owned by journo killing, sportswashing, oil rich, filth.

Newcastle only have a small amount over us on FFP available spends this season and I would rather have our first 11 than theirs. If next season they maintain top 4 and we drop down then fair enough, but at this stage it's ludicrous to include them, and Spurs and Cheslea, but not us. Spurs losing Kane and generally having an aging squad. Cheslea having completely imploded and likely to find themselves falling foul of FFP unless they have a miraculous up turn in form next season. I couldn't care less what the daily mail actually think, but it points to the fact they're being paid to say that. And no, I won't click on it to give then the traffic so its not having their desired intent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Martin Tyler stepping down from Sky. He went on a bit too long but generally good memories of him commentating over the years.

foreveryoung Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Why are they raving about Trent's performance being a masterclass in Midfield. It was f****ing Malta??

Safegate is also talking like he is now the genius of tactical nous and Klopp could learn a bit from him. It's so ridiculous. Even if they caveat it with "but it was only malta", its not enough. The article shouldn't even have been written. Pick any PL football and they'd do a job there against Malta. Is the media worse than it used to be or has it always been this bad, and I've just got more cynical as I've aged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
