Does anyone watch AFTV for any reason but to laugh at Arsenal fans? It is the worst poo poo.

La Liga are just mad that clubs have found ways to fund buying every player in the world without simply being handed the lion's share of their leagues' TV revenue.

Until this summer Arsenal had one man negotiating all contracts and transfers, from the lowest academy level all the way up to the first team. Now we have two!

You can see that in his transfer “strategy” too, he only ever has eyes for the exact perfect player who fits his system flawlessly, and refuses to identify second choices or adjust his system to fit them, even if it would ultimately make the team better.

fat gay nonce posted:Arsenal are bad now because Dein left and took any kind of football business skill with him, god knows who negotiates now, probably Wenger fiddling with his zip. This is true except that a manager who isn’t out of his drat mind could get quite a lot out of the team Arsenal has.

blue footed boobie posted:Not sure what you're getting at here. Arsenal have control over the players they sign and where they are played. I'm not criticizing either Ozil or Sanchez. I'm just saying that the fact that they want to leave is part of the clusterfuck that has been Arsenal's transfer policy for the last five years. I probably misunderstood what you were saying, but I just mean I'm not surprised Ozil doesn't want to stay when he's been so horribly misused.

I sympathize with Wenger because I, too, have a giant boner for Ramsey.

Bacon Terrorist posted:Wenger has also hedged his bets (using logic, to be fair) that the financial status of the premier league is unsustainable and therefore his model will be proven right: unfortunately the way things are going he is likely going to die before he sees that day. He's absolutely correct, the only problem I have is that it shouldn't be him making this decision.

None of what's going on with live sports TV rights is "real," it's just the death throes of TV networks. They're overpaying out the rear end for sports because sports are the only appointment viewing that still exists. It's quite literally the only programming keeping their business model alive. It's why Sky can pay more and more for the Premier League when their Premier League ratings keep going down. The idea that this could continue long-term is just laughable.

tarbrush posted:Depends if Amazon/Netflix feels like eating another industry I guess. They're already spending themselves into debt just making movies and TV shows. More likely the league will just stream directly to viewers, which is something even F1 (the most rear end-backwards sport in the world) is considering.

Hashtag Banterzone posted:Just because everyone hopes this is a passing fad doesn't mean that it is. It's not a passing fad, it's a temporary increase in TV rights value, and no one thinks it's a bubble because they hope so, they think it's a bubble because it fits the actual definition of a bubble. The fact that you are talking about the value of TV rights increasing in concert with the popularity of the sport means you fundamentally misunderstand what is happening.

Hashtag Banterzone posted:Analysts are saying TV rights are going to increase again both domestically and internationally, which will take the increases until 2022 at least. After that who knows what will happen. Right, so the situation the Premier League is in money-wise has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with anything but TV rights. Matchday revenue, sponsorship, shirt sales, etc., all basically irrelevant. I mean, yes, there's a lot of money there, but all the huge growth is coming from TV rights, which now makes up about half of most clubs' total revenue. So to suggest "maybe season tickets will fill the gap" is just nonsense, there's absolutely no reason to ever believe that will be the case, you're basically just saying "I don't want to believe there's a bubble, so here's the first thing I thought of." Any broadcast partner that picks up PL rights after this current situation ends is logically not going to be able to continue doing what the pay TV providers are doing, because the pay TV providers are hugely overpaying for Premier League rights. There's no reason to believe a similar situation just appears out of thin air.

Lot 49 posted:He's a terrible winger. Everyone knew this when he was at Arsenal, except Wenger. Even the player himself knew it and kept asking to play in a different position and eventually left just so he wouldn't play there anymore. And now he's at a new club and for his first start Klopp plays him on the wing. I’ll take “people who don’t understand the difference between winger and wingback” for 1000, Alex.
