David thought that the retribution would not come so fast, but who knew he had just responded to Dogerty in front of the media. The next day, a shocking news detonated the entire English football.

An independent television station responsible for relaying England’s three-level professional league games except the Premier League filed for bankruptcy, saying it was unable to pay the remaining contract money of £178 million.

Due to the economic downturn, the decline in advertising revenue, and the decrease in the number of subscribers, the independent station was unable to pay the remaining 178 million pounds after paying 135 million pounds. They demanded that the contract be revised to reduce the broadcast fee to 50 million pounds in the next two years.

If such a solution cannot be changed, each Anglo-America club will lose an average of £3 million, Anglo-British club £600,000, and Anglo-Second club £400,000.

In June 2000, when the English Football League independent television station signed a three-year, 315 million pound worth of television broadcasting contract, 72 English football clubs of the first, second and third grades were blooming and thought they had found " The key to the door of wealth.

But what surprised the independent digital station was that the audience was not as interested in the games of the First Division, the Second Division and the Third Division as they did for the English Premier League.

Independent digital station is a paid channel, viewers have to pay 20 pounds per month to watch its programs. Nearly 25% of the audience requested to withdraw after registering to watch the independent digital station. In this way, after four years in theory, there will be no audience on the independent digital station.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally difficult for independent digital stations to pay hundreds of millions of broadcasting fees. In terms of football clubs, due to the reliance on income from television broadcasts, many non-England Premier League professional football clubs have been dragged out of the water when independent digital stations cannot afford to pay.

Broadcasting fees can basically be regarded as the biggest income of these clubs. If this part of the income is lost, most of the clubs will fall into financial crisis, and even face bankruptcy, which will not be delayed for a long time.

This time, Dougty has nothing to say?

David's smug smile, he really didn't expect the retribution to come so fast.

He doesn’t need to worry about this problem. He didn’t care about these millions of pounds in the first place, and he didn’t think that Notts County would have to struggle in the lower leagues until next season. The broadcasting achievements are not affected anymore. It is a huge cake, and it is a huge cake that has been increasing year by year. It is definitely not to be missed.

This time, Nottingham Forest Chairman Dougty is really full of bags. Although he has continued to invest tens of millions of dollars in the club since joining the Nottingham Forest, his business is not a super-large company and can’t stand his continued The blood draw originally thought that Nottingham would be able to get on the right track with his large investment. He was self-sufficient in blood supply and no longer needed his extra investment, but now it seems that this cannot be achieved at all.

As a strong League One team, Nottingham has to lose at least more than 500w pounds in this wave, and this is by no means a hammer trade. You must know that with the withdrawal of the front car of an independent digital TV station, the British League One and the next I am afraid that no one will be interested in the broadcast of the low-level league. Even if someone picks up the price, the price will drop like a dive, and the days of deep water are coming soon.

had just bragged about the financial health of Nottingham Forest in front of the media, and his face was swollen in a blink of an eye. This is completely uncomfortable.

Now Dougty has seen that he is no better than David than wealth. David can give blood to the Notts County without restriction, but he does not have so much capital to be capricious.

In an interview, Dougty no longer dared to talk any more. In addition to criticizing independent digital TV stations that did not comply with the contract, he could only blush and reluctantly said that Nottingham Forest is like many clubs. If the subsequent broadcast is not shared, then they will also fall into a financial crisis.

The reporters laughed at the big-mouthed chairman in his heart. Who told him that he would be fine.

When David was interviewed, he happily dropped the chairman with the big mouth next door.

"I really didn't expect that Mr. Dogerty's attitude changed so quickly. It seems that the situation in Nottingham Forest is not good! The Notts County finances have no problems. We still have a lot of deposits in the bank. Even if the broadcast share is gone, It will not hurt the bones or even affect it. As for the severe situation encountered by other clubs, I can only express my regret. This is the sorrow of the low-level league clubs. I am not a savior and I don’t know how to solve it!"

Afterwards, David was too lazy to fight against Dougty, because he could already see that this restless old man was simply brown sugar, and unless he was killed with a stick, he would come out and disgust himself sometime. Before you are completely killed, let's stay away.

David's focus is still in this football storm.

In fact, many football professionals have warned that over-reliance on TV broadcast income, England professional football will face an unprecedented huge crisis, because once the TV broadcast contract can not be fulfilled, the club’s economic lifeline will be cut off.

Now This prediction has come true!

Murdoch Media Group's Sky TV won the Premier League's broadcasting rights with a sky-high price. Affected by this, the price of the television broadcasting rights in the English League, English League and English Premier League also increased.

However, under the intensive bombing of Sky TV, the TV broadcasts of Premier League games are numerous. Fans prefer to watch the games of big teams such as Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal. No one wants or has time to pay attention to those League One, League Two and League One. Team C.

The popularity of the Premier League does not mean that the low-level leagues are equally popular. How can the two be treated the same?

has to admit that if Notts County does not have its own investment, it will certainly not escape the storm, maybe it will be entrusted to the bank tomorrow.

Now, Notts County fans are extremely grateful that they have a chairman who is not bad and willing to invest in the club. Notwithstanding the sorrow and sorrow of other clubs, Notts County is still strong, and the stadium and youth training base are still in accordance with the steps. The original planned construction was not affected by the slightest.

For Notts County, this storm is not just a threat, but a boost.

Perhaps the last few rounds will not be seen in the second round, but next season, the impact of the storm will definitely be highlighted. The clubs in the League One are in financial crisis. Can they wholeheartedly devote themselves to the game?

Notts County can wait for the benefit of the fishermen.
