On BBC sport mate.Any link to this GTB?
Wouldn't be great business to tell your two biggest customers to do one.if Sky and BT demanded the money back then surely the EPL would just tell them to do one, slightly more to this than meets the eye
50m each, think they can afford it

The game is now run for the broadcasters and not the fans.

Or defer it into the next contract. None of the EPL, Sky or BT are going anywhere!if Sky and BT demanded the money back then surely the EPL would just tell them to do one, slightly more to this than meets the eye

Less than £40m a team I make it. A drop in the ocean and they should take the hit. The players clearly don't want to play in dangerous conditions and behind closed doors when people are still dieing in hospital so that sky can make some money from adverts. Its repugnant.
Did I read that correctly
players want deferrals rather than a wage drop
scum the lot of them
A bit harsh calling them scum mate. When all this blows over there is going to be a hell of a bill to pay and the highest earners will be hit hardest.Did I read that correctly

The Premier League faces a £762m financial penalty if the season does not resume, players have been told.
Such a penalty would apply if broadcasters demanded refunds on games they could not show, the league said during a conference call on Saturday.
During the call with the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA), the Premier League explained why it wants players to drop wages by 30%.
Clubs and players will now discuss the proposals.
That is because the Premier League is not mandated to make such a decision and it has to be agreed by the players.
As well as the PFA, which is the players' union, representatives from the League Managers' Association - the managers' union - were also involved in Saturday's call, which was concluded in less than an hour.
During the meeting, the league said the season will almost certainly be played behind closed doors if it resumes.
It also warned that, in addition to the penalties payable to broadcasters, hundreds of millions of pounds could be lost in sponsorship and matchday revenue because the season has been suspended.
The Premier League announced on Friday that it would ask players to take a 30% pay cut in order to protect jobs.
There are issues to be sorted out, though, as the PFA and leading agents think wage deferrals rather than cuts are preferable at this stage.
Many thanks GTB, appreciated.
The Government has already said they will fund whatever the NHS needsThe club's want to turn round and say ok give the money to the NHS they won't though
Burnley chairman has said if they don’t play football by August then they will have no money.

What I mean is they wouldIs it not time we were told how BT and SKY would react if the season was not played to an end, both have remained very quiet on exactly what action they would take.
I'm sure Amazon would be right up for it even that Dazn mob would like a chance at bidding for itAh %^*& it, amazon will take the rights off both Sky and BT moving forward if they cant resolve it
How can they? It will be in the contract they have with the broadcasters. Money has been paid up front for games that won’t happen the clubs have spent the money. The broadcasters will want the money back as they have lost the revenue stream from subscribers it’s as simple as that. It would end up in court and they would be forced to repay the money or some other arrangement for seasons in the future and reduced broadcast revenue.if Sky and BT demanded the money back then surely the EPL would just tell them to do one, slightly more to this than meets the eye
