Any graph that talks about foreign TV deals available? Serie A gets 205 million each year from them, I’d like to compare with the other leagues
Why do serie A teams always act like they’re broke?
It’s the third richest league.
TBF, everyone outside the Premier League, Real, Barcelona and PSG is kinda broke. If we are talking about straight up financial problems, the big teams fucked up a lot of decisions in past years and they’re paying the toll now, and the smaller teams see a much reduced slice of that cake than the bigger teams, so they take less money than you’d think.
Imagine being soo shit, Bundesliga is making more money domestically than you, Tebas, at it again being shit.
You’re talking as if the Bundesliga is some amateur league lmao.
Also I think the fact that Germany, as a country, is richer and more populated than Spain might contribute to this, although it’s true that La Liga could be up there with the PL if they actually took advantage from the Messi-Ronaldo era to get a better TV deal
Population:
- Germany: 83m
- Spain: 47m
GDP per capita
-
Germany: 51.200 US Dollars
-
Spain: 30.100 US Dollars
And considering that pretty much fussball is popular in Germany as much as futbol in Spain I’d be very surprising if it would be otherwise.
Considering the german domestic TV deal is for Buli and 2.Buli then I’m still quite surprised that Bundesliga is on pair with La Liga given both Germany’s population and GDP are almost TWICE as Spain which means there are MORE people willing to watch football and willing to spend MORE money given their higher salaries compared to Iberia.
The real standing for the domestic TV rights considering the quality of the league, GDP, population and soccer popularity in a certain country the standing should be: EPL >> Bundesliga > Serie A = Spain = Ligue 1
Well done Javier Tebas.
You’re not taking into account the whole Latin American market that shares the same language. Not as much to do with Tebas as simply sharing the same language as a much bigger marker. Same can be said about the Premiee League.
Why would one take into account foreign market when the conversation is about domestic deals…?
It’s also only 18 teams and fewer matches for a league that is supposed to be less popular. I see what you are saying though.
the question is why the difference isn’t bigger in favor of the Bundesliga, considering Germany is way bigger (+35 millions) and way richer (three times the GDP).
popularity kicks in with the foreign deals, which puts the spanish league way ahead of the Bundesliga.
Now…guess what sort of deal the absolute geniuses who run Scottish Football managed to secure us?
Starting in 2024 - Our deal is worth £150m - OVER 5 YEARS!!
£30m a season for 5 years split between 12 teams.
The genuis of Neil Doncaster, who proudly negotiated this deal and refused to tender the rights for an offer so he accepted the first deal offered to him and made a fat bonus on top.
He is also the guy that wrote a 2 year Notice period into his own contract if he was to ever resign or get £800k to terminate his contract.
This is how pathetic and corrupt the people running Scottish football are.
Somebody needs to show Tebas this the next time he starts waffling about Prem being “the doped up league”. Having a very beneficial TV deal isn’t “doping”, it’s just having an attractive product and good negotiators…
It’s called rinsing your fanbase and getting away with it, I genuinely don’t know why we accept paying these prices. From what I’ve previously seen though Spain is domestically similar in that regard, its just a much smaller economy.
So Spain will never be able to make as much domestically but i won’t champion people getting absolutely ripped off and gouged as a positive for this or any league.
