Defending the joke that is La Liga and the distribution of TV rights, proof if ever it was needed that one should always trust the opposite of Onceared's opinion
- (here comes the inevitable who the fuck are you, blah blah, always a cunt blah blah, yeah whatever, you're the cretin that claimed Mancini was "world class"
Call me a cunt all you like but Sid Lowe knows the score

Honestly, by your logic Man Utd and Man City would get the majority of the Sky TV money, further enshrining their status as League Leaders, do you really think that's fair? Would you be on here defending Man City with all their riches being further empowered by getting more Sky income than any other club? Of course you wouldn't, so don't fucking claim it's ok for La Liga to be an unbalanced piece of shit League.
[/quote]How 'by my logic' would United and City get the tv revenue for England exactly?
Do you think that Manchester City are the same in terms of worldwide appeal as Barcelona or Madrid.
A few years back the elite european clubs G34 or whatever they are called threatened to pull out of their leagues and form a European super league, they argued that the reason people were tuning in was because of them and their individual leagues needed to pay them more (im guessing so they could continue to afford silly wages) so the leagues consented, given that the choice was lose all the teams that anyone wants to watch therefore creating a competetive league that no one wants to watch, they didnt have much choice. I dont think the distribution is quite as bad in most leagues youre right but then in 'most' leagues you have a little more in terms of marketable names (milan, Ac, Inter, Juve, Roma, Lazio/United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and i suppose City nowadays etc) in the spanish league nobody watches the other teams so Real and Barca are in an amazing position to strengthen their hands. A little bit (i suppose) like players going to the big clubs demanding twice the wage, because they understand what they are signing up for. The big clubs would i guess always defend their position given that to remain at the top they need to pay the highest wages and fees.
Youre right it isnt a great state of affairs and im no real fan of either club but you can see why their position is strong.
Hopefully there will be someway of helping the other clubs out, because as you say nobody wants a monopoly.
Am i right in thinking though that in the last decade the same number of clubs have won La liga as the Premiership?
Im not sure if thats right, I cant remember when Rafas Valencia won it.
As for who are you/hes the cunt... whats the point? Im happy to hear your viewpoint on things and the more people who post the better. Cheers.
