Liverpool threaten breakaway from Premier League's TV rights deal

This is coming from the club which just spunked 55m on Andy Carroll and Jordan Henderson.

If this happened I would stop my payment towards watchin English football forever and ever. I would encourage all my friends to do the same and I would from that day stream the spurs matches for free. And help all my friends not familiar on how to stream a match.

I honestly want someone in the shitty town of Liverpool to find that man (not going to utter his name) and shoot him in public.

So for all the talk of Russians and Sheikhs coming in and ruining our football in the end it falls to an American corporation to do it, I have no doubt that Ron Henry has had this in mind from the takeover, after all he doesn't give a toss about the game or the club particularly he is just in it for the money, it is just business and so bean counter mentality will rule.
Nobody is going to pay Liverpool a fortune to play one or two games a season they will only pay them a fortune to see them play 38 games and they can only do that with 19 other sides in the Premiership, it is the Premiership that people watch not Liverpool, it ain't broke so don't fix it.
The problem is not in this country it is in Spain, there it is broke and they should fix it.
As I understand it 60% of the clubs need to agree for it to change so it is dead in the water, I suppose Liverpool could go it on their own but it'd be pretty quiet wouldn't it.

Russian & Arab billions have already ruined the game I grew up on. Take it a step back and Sky started that ball rolling...

Perhaps you are blinded by your geographical location, but Liverpool are nowhere near Madrid and Barca. I travel a lot and I would say from first hand experience is that Liverpool are beneath Barca, Madrid, and miles behind Man U. I am pretty sure that they are not as popular as Chelsea and Arsenal too. The question i, would these fans actually pay to watch them?

I hear what you are saying, but it's not down to where I now live, don't get me wrong, I can't stand the deluded scouse fuckers. And I don't take what they say as gospel. I was going by my travels also. Especially when I was out in China, Chengdu where I was staying was mainly ManU and then Liverpool. The Spanish didn't really come into it.


But I certainly agree that their stock is waining which I presumably why they want to cash in now.

Cant see it happening if it needs the backing of 14 of the 20 clubs in the league. Nice try Scousers.

I would say from what I have seen on recent travels that specifically in Africa Liverpool are on a par with us (not very popular). Regarding the far east I have not been yet, so I bow to your knowledge.

Tottenham are a desperate club clinging on to past glorys. They will never be as big as they were and they know it.

:razz:

...and I bow to your knowledge on the African front

Thailand was mainly Man U or Liverpool. That was just the ladyboys because I didn't meet anyone else. :-(
