I saw that article earlier...
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football...mp-tv-revenue/
“Experts say valuations peaked in 2016, and, while Sky and BT still consider the league their most valuable offering, Covid-19 has accelerated a gradual fall. Amazon, which bought up matches for the first time last season, is not expected to compete with the big two bidders.
...there is no suggestion that the likes of Netflix or Facebook are interested in tabling a bid due to the limits over syndication worldwide.”
Probably far too early to tell but some of the Telegraph’s media speculation is usually bang on the money (they were the first to report on the Sky/Disney Plus deal) so I’m not inclined to completely disbelieve it.
