I'd hate to see the hookers the Member is drilling if he thinks $25 a month for Kayo Sports is too much.
Why do you think he goes to Thailand so often?Quote:

Interesting to see what would happen if the A-league was able to miraculously complete the season (not impossible, I think).Quote:
Sources with detailed knowledge of the broadcast deal suggest Fox Sports withholding the April quarterly payment is a breach of the contract, while FFA must complete the A-League season by July 1 in order to meet its obligations. Failure to do that could provide Fox Sports with the opportunity to walk away from the final three years of the deal.
Failing to pay could expose Fux to serious consequences/penalties/legal actions.
Correct?
Foxtel is very quickly becoming a dated service.
The A-League should look at partnering with DAZN when they launch in Australia.
I reckon they'd be better doing a deal with Optus for now. Dazn doesn't have much purchase in Oz yet and we don't have anything worth showing the rest of the world.Quote:

Also, I know this isn't the right thread. But we need to get back to playing in Winter IMO. Brisbane can move to Dolphin Stadium, which means it's only Sydney, Citeh, Victurds and us who would need to find new stadiums.
Screw the NRL and screw free to air TV. Let's move to smaller stadiums, make it cheap to stream online and align ourselves with Asia as much as possible. FTA is dying anyways, there's barely anyone who are choosing between NRL and A League anymore. We'd be better off building something worth selling to the rest of the world than trying to match NRL crowd's and trying to sell out large stadiums.
the Director of Strategy at DAZN is an old mate of mine - has lived in Australia for over a decade (doesn't now, is based in Singapore) and is very aware of the A-LeagueQuote:

can't imagine it'd be a huge amount of cash that anyone is going to trow at the A-League - at least not without some drastic changes
Once DAZN launch globally they will pull all of their content from Optus Sports and distribute it themselves. That will leave Optus with only the Premier League which I believe that deal is set for renewal and you can bet DAZN will bid for it.Quote:

If the A-League cheifs haven't at least spoken to the DAZN executives then they are crazy, digital media and App platforms are the future and if Football can get a headstart on the other codes then that's a positive in my opinion.
You know what to do boz, get on the phone to your mate and make this deal happen������Quote:

So DAZN will need to get UCL/UEL rights for 2021 before they even look at the A league, cause no one is paying $35 a month for A league only and German/Italian/French commentated football. Plus the fighting and US sports, but not all football punters care about that stuff.
I'm sure eventually the A league will move there. But given how bad the situation is right now, unless DAZN offer huge money I think Optus are the safer bet until say 2022 or 2023.
DAZN is already partnered with everything you listed above in other territories and it's their global strategy to be the partners of those competition Worldwide.Quote:

As for $35 a month, there is no way that is going to be the price guide. It only cost US$10 a month and Joe Markowski has been quoted as saying it will only cost £5 a month when it launches in the UK.
The article I read said that Dazn cost USD$19.99 a month and will be approx $35 for Australia. https://www.finder.com.au/dazn. I think it started off at $10 a month but doubled last year.Quote:

I don't think the A League can wait for that to happen. So it might be better to tie itself to Optus and the EPL for now and then move to Dazn once it has some content and the pricing is a bit better.
Agree....go Optus. Would be good to see Mel back in the saddle for A-League. Enough pundits to not need Bozza and Slater too.
I like Bozza but Slater is a toolQuote:

Ive had Optus for a few years and based on how the've handled the EPL, UCL and UEL as well as the WC, ( for me at least personally) I hope they get the Aleague
But they won't have any actual football other than A league until 2021/22 at the earliest will they? They need to acquire the rights from Optus, ESPN or Being Sports before they can show anything here.Quote:

If they buy the rights from Bein for European comps outside of the EPL and then add UCL/UEL a year later than maybe we would be better to go with them. But if they offer the same cash as Optus. I'd go with them for now, Aussie's are slow to make change and they trust Optus.
Halving the price to lock in for 12 months also looks a bit dodgy and cheap. They obviously think they don't have enough content to keep people happy during the off seasons. So $120 USD is $190 AUD, i.e. $15 a month. Which is the same as Optus, but they have EPL and may get UCL/UEL rights again.
DAZN have shown they are happy to invest and wait.Quote:

DAZN will launch in Australia with or without the A-League that's just a fact, I feel it would be beneficial for the A-League to be there when they launch rather than wait it out. They will be more inclined to invest heavier at the beginning, why not take advantage of that.
I think the worst thing about DAZN is that you're supposed to pronounce it "da-zone"
I don't want to
Is bridges on Optus? If so, I'd be watching the pregame and listening to the commentary less than I currently do

Anyone else been catching up on the Top 20 A-League Derbies?
2008 GF well down the list and for some reason a number of Smurf/Victory games are classed as "derbies".
They are on demand too if you miss them on live tvQuote:

The A-League has cleared a major hurdle for the resumption of the season after Football Federation Australia belatedly received its full quarterly payment from Fox Sports.
Football industry sources have confirmed Fox has now paid the near $12 million instalment of its broadcast deal with FFA, which was due mid-last month.
Falling over themselves with Nein for the NRL would put them in a corner.
The cynic (realist?) in me thinks "Well, this is clearly only done so when they destroy the FFA in court for not filling their contractual obligations of a completed season, FFA can't fight back with "but Foxtel didn't pay us"". Think of it as basically putting down a deposit for a bigger win at the end.Quote:

Anyone else see the news that the A league is being held up due to Fox holding them to ransom over broadcast costs?
Apparently Fox won't show the games unless FFA agree to lower the current deal from $59m down to $10m.

Lots of stuff on twitter about it as well.
Sooner we split away from Foxtel the better. They no longer value the sport.Quote:
