    He's right. The deal was a disaster.

    They wanted to create a Serie A channel (I guess like LaLiga TV), but it will take time to get there. They took what they could get.

    The smaller clubs are ok, the bigger ones like Napoli are under pressure to raise prices for seats or expand seating. All the clubs need to get new/reno'ed stadia IMO, something that will happen by 2032 Euros.

    Serie A is still doing well because of the coaching. Guys like De Zerbi, Italiano, and Inzaghi are revolutionizing the game. Also talents that get overlooked in EPL tend to come to Serie A and excel.

    The majority of the clubs have no will to create the Serie A channel. They see it as too risky when in fact this is exactly where media is moving.

    I don't know enough to really say. No doubt sport broadcasting will move completely over to the streamers.

    There's also the trend towards a hodgepodge of broadcasters in the same region getting different slices of the pie. NFL's notorious for it, EPL does it, the new NWSL TV arrangement is a pristine example of it (games on seven different channels from three broadcasters plus games on Amazon Prime and a league-operated OTT service with potential local broadcast deals, and it sounds like the league will control production).

    Signs that the end of the line is being reached for broadcast rights in my opinion. I don't think that in five years any of the streaming platforms are going to have MORE money to pour into the NFL than they previously did.
     
    SF19 repped this.
