    ...Or gives you an idea of the size of the money bubble in English football at present.

    Might not be a bubble at all.

    It'll only be a bubble if domestic TV money, foreign TV money, torrent money etc dry up.

    There's never been more people watching for "free" but there's never been more money from TV etc. Might well not be a bubble as I said :)

    If it's most definitely a bubble I'm sure you can explain why....

    Yep, doesn't really look like a bubble at all.
    Sponsors are still queueing up, attendances are high as 20 years ago despite increased ticket prices, advertising revenue is grand, merchandising revenue ditto, enough people seem willing to pay the tv subs that enable Sky to pay their share etc.
    It seems as reasonably well underpinned as any industry. Which doesn't mean it can't go kaput but it won't be because it was a bubble.

    When ITV and Setanta went bust it looked like the bubble was over but really, as long as BT and Sky can get advertisers willing to pay for it...

    It doesn't have to logical to keep on making money!

    Long term, with very little free to air footie on tv anymore I'd wonder about exposure and publicity. TV deals can't keep jumping so much either, Sky shot themselves in the foot last time by bidding way more than they had to.

    China seems a different kettle of fish!

    Not sure if BT can keep up, they don't seem to be getting the best games. Not that i'm complaining, one sub to Sky is bad enough.

    And look how they are now going after those free means to try and protect the bubble, i have gotten rid of sky and only have BT TV as i use them for Broadband, any game on Sky I want to watch will be in the pub, even when they are phoning me offering 60% off and £75 credit

    That's essentially my point.
    There's never been more options to watch PL games for free and yet the cash is still flowing. The free means is a problem they won't be solving anytime soon.

    Advertisers are happy to pay as the not paid for options still contain all the adds.

    Ben Woodburn turns 17 in 11 days. Hopefully he will sign a professional contract with the club then as well.

    Ha, what a coincidence. My dog is 1 today! She has only known Klopp as Liverpool manager, I'm so jealous. :pac:

    I'd do the full lean analysis like I usually do but I can't even fathom the brilliance of that, words wouldn't do it justice.

    Re telly money - just wait till Discovery decide to get involved - the game will be split into 4 quarters and there will be a Southern and Northern Premier League with the winner of each play for the overall league title at Wembley in January May.

    Rhian Brewster scored two as England U-17s beat Germany 8-1

    ...Roy Evans pic snipped.

    Do people really regard him as a true Liverpool legend?

    That word gets bandied about too much.

    Granted, he was a coach to some great managers but he has to be regarded as a failure as a manager as he managed a tam of under-performers, allowed the Spice Boys to thrive, white Armani suits etc.

    I don't see that as warrants legendary status.

    Unless there are strikers coming in Jan surely there is no way Klopp is gonna let Origi go. He hasn't regained his form of last year but Klopp likes him and his industry it seems.
