so they'll have like 1-2 a week next year and then moving forward for the next 2 years drop down to less than one (assuming they don't then pickup a larger package which if they're successful i'm sure they would)

Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't look like it will affect US viewers much, right?

Isn't that how you get access to PL matches now, through a subscription service? Doesn't look like this means free games on ESPN2 or anything.

Correct. For the US, NOTHING HAS CHANGED FOR 2009-2010
Half the games on Setanta US, Half the Games on Fox Soccer Channel What's being auctioned off here in the US currently is the rights for 2010-11 to 2013-14 (three seasons worth)

Whoever wins that auction would likely keep the games PPV, though, it sounds like.

Would it really make a difference, though? If they did put it out there to us masses, they would present the PL like it was the Harlem Globetrotters on tour, with Manchester United on every weekend.

That would be a great idea, actually. What better way to get people to care about your sport than to give them something to hate? Market them as the Yankees of Soccer and even I might start to watch, just to root against them.

Works for me. Although with the current situation I can see practically every Man Utd game on Setanta or FSC already without resorting to online streams. |
