Maybe we are at that point where the thing implodes on itself. I could never see the model sustain itself indefinitely, with stupid wages and transfer fees. I have stopped my BT subscription, which was free when it first came out, as I was a BT customer. Then I paid £5 extra when they started charging. This year was the 1st time they would not budge on that price and wanted £20 - so that was binned. Now we have Amazon, Premier TV and so on, all getting involved. BT didn't even show our Europa league games - wasn't their tag line that they showed ALL European ties at one point ?
Still have SKY, but got a decent price and I actually do like the latest SKY Q product, which also passes the wife acceptance test.
What if BT and SKY both pulled out ? Income would plummet, players would have to slum it on maybe £100K a year ? What would happen to us poor supporters. Well, perhaps we could go back to paying £300 a year for a season ticket...........
Can't see it happening obviously, but I think this Covid situation has just accelerated us towards the buffers that we were inevitably going to hit at some point.
