Idea on TV Payments

I dont mean to start a new thread...but I have done already so it's too late now.

What if Paul was to reward managers that opted to take their TV money over the course of the season rather than in a lump sum?

for example

a) £20m in a lump sum or
b) £1m a week for 24 weeks


Any thoughts?

Not sure, isn't that rewarding people who don't need the money now?

ie the bigger clubs?

I dont see why you should get rewarded for choosing to have it over the year...

We all shoud get the same TV money depending on what division where it.

imo.

maybe so Tom actually, was just thinking that in any line of business, people will always offer you a discount for early settlement, or charge you more for taking longer to pay.

Thought it might just be a way of appeasing everyone

Because it would be 'prudent' and encourage you to run your club on a sound financial footing rather than having the bailout option of playing 9 friendlies per week for 18 weeks.

Dont get me wrong Phil. I want my cash upfront.

I'm just seeing if there's a way that everyone wins.

Possibly, but isn't that the case if one option is unanimously better than the other?

Think the difference between the two is just personal preference.

But then, another way of looking at it is, if you are desperate for the money upfront then maybe you get penalised. ie 4m less fo taking it now.

I know that is exactly what you said, but I couldn't get my head round being rewarded for not needing money. However being penalised for taking a loan upfront makes sense.

I have talked myself round and agree with Rich!!

they all come around eventually! lol.

If I start getting penalized cause I want my money up front rather then sell all my tickets at the start of the season to make a big enough case sum to strengthen my team.

I pay £180 for my season god be damned I lose out cause I prefer to have all my money at one place and already play 9 friendlies.

Dont be so angry Phil...it's only an idea for discussion!

You try being Leicester see how bitter you are about having no money then!

"Oh no I got £20 million for an average Dutch international"....times tough at the Emirates are they! lol.

oh, and we all pay £180 Phil...

In fact, because I missed the deadline and couldnt get a season ticket...I had to pay more than that.

there's a parody in there if you want to find it

well said rich.

Yeah got to be honest I agree with Rich, although I can see what Phil is saying, £180 is a lot of money, most managers pay that.

Personally just because I pay that, it doesn't mean I think the game should be made easier for me.

Receiving my turns would be nice though.

I feel dirty.

What may be lost in translation here..is that I'd opt for my money up front!

I think its a fair comment that if you want it in one go then mr bank manager isn't going to give as much as if you took a little each month. think of it like when you buy car insurance - if you pay for it in one hit you get about a 20% saving over paying in instalments. so i think its fair that those that are more financially viable are rewarded a little more.

still, like phil says all he'd have to do in that case is sell more season tickets so that he can take his tv money every week. so is there really any point?

Maybe there isn't,

Personally my bug is with the feeder clubs

No stadium sponsor, no overdraft and now no tv money... And this costs the same as my parent club?????

paul said you get all that now dont you?

Got to be honest I hope not.

I'm all for feeders getting money of some description, again id like to highlight i would prefer it if it was based on a league position or something related to sucess and not just a hand out, but I'd laugh or cry if half the feeder clubs in the game ended up getting more money than there parent clubs.

tbh....i thnk all game earnings should be league position based. whether its for parent or feeder clubs ( by this i mean clubs in their top division - which is every country except england next season ). i put some rough suggestion in some other thread somewhere but i honestly think all clubs should just get money from where they are. if Rich does amazing with Betis or Will does amazing with Feyenoord then why should a team five places below them have a better budget to work with next season? I know a feeder club is 'just a feeder club' but you also have to factor in the fact that these clubs need to maintain a healthy level of competition, otherwise there's really no point. I said it before but Ancona are above Roma in the table. why should Jamie have less to worth with next year than me?........anyone?

cos its jaimie, he has to be different .lol

thats ur fault stu for not pulling ur finger out and letting him get above u

seriously though, agree generally sucess or league placing is rewarded in real life so maybe it should that way here and not a handout.

You get two payments at the end of the year... tv prize money and league placement money so u do get prized for finishing higher don't u ?

yes, but...getting in advance is a significant advantage for those people in the transfer market. but then i suppose like i said earlier everyone can just sell their whole stadium for season tickets if they want.

Than you gaz.
