    Things went pop in the housing market.
    I think at some point it will in the PL.
    Clubs will make some big losses this year most are projecting.

    I think last year most were in profit.

    The bubble won't burst but it will almost certainly start to deflate, when the TV money inevitably reduces at some point, which could be as soon as the next 3 year deal.

    Has they actually been any signs that the TV money will start to go down?

    I feel like it will just keep going up...

    I think it's peaked, Sky are now discounting and audiences are way down. Streaming is killing their income. The product will be of less value next time round imho.

    Makes sense.

    I keep forgetting the impact that the streaming will be having on them. I'm not very PC savvy. Do you think something could get brought in to prevent people from accessing streams in this country, or is it to far past that?

    They're spending a fortune trying to clamp down on it, but I can't see how they're going to be able to stop it.

    I suppose the search engine providers could hold the key

    They'll never stop it completely.

    The Premier league sells its content all around the world, not just to Sky and BT. Even if they succeeded in shutting it down, there's a dozen other places to watch the same game(s)

    There'd be more money in the game if all the leeching agents were dragged out into the gutter and shot!!!



    Too strong? <whistle>

    I think there will be one more rise before a levelling out or reduction.

    Streaming has become too popular now and people are leaving sky.

    They just need to adopt sensible streaming policies and become a service like Netflix or Amazon Prime.
    Lots of people that currently don't pay them anything would get on board.
    They'd lose some of their current income, but make it back and then some.

    Too strong? No, I don't think they're too strong to be drug out and shot.

    I stream almost every game. I would much rather pay a fair fee to stream from a reliable legal source rather than one of those grey-area sources.

    Unfortunately it's a dubious streaming site or some ridiculously expensive site for me. No area in-between.

    We can only stream cause of the overseas deal though. I'm pro free streaming and will be until clubs own the rights to stream their own away games (at which point my hand will be in my pocket.). So long continue with the money in the game, players had lost their soul because of sky long before this level of money came into the game anyway.

    If somebody like Netflix offered good quality PL streams for something like £5.79 per month like they do with their TV and film subscription. I'd sign up in a flash. There's no way I'd ever subscribe to some stupid money package from Sky. And on principle I wouldn't knowingly give a penny of my money to that ****ing leech Murdoch.

    I'll check that out <ok>

    I use reddit streams. I can usually find a decent one in the end, but it's a lottery. I pretty much spend the first 10 mins of a game trying to find one that works, is in English, has a decent resolution and I then spend the next 10 mins closing down pop ups and making sure that it's a stream that doesn't lag like bitch.

    As PNP says, there must be thousands of people who use crap streams but who would sign up to a legit site if the subscription fee was reasonable enough.

    NBC don't have too many, but their sister stations NBC Sports and NBC extra do. Of course getting cable TV would cost an extra $60 a month and I'm not willing to spend that to watch a game on TV. I want to be in the stadium for that price.
