    Not sure Sky would survive though if it had to honour the contracts.
    The players would move abroad to other clubs, surely? The Chinese League is awash with cash, maybe that would become the major league, and our own league would be the equivalent of the Scottish League with one club (Man City because of their owners) dominating everything.

    Sky will struggle to survive in a few years anyway, they are too far behind the legit TV Streaming curve and I suspect a big online company (like Netflix, but not Netflix) could be opening up an Internet Streaming element to the TV rights bidding next time around. Then, the cycle after that, I think that internet streaming rights will be of higher value and significance to the PL than the TV rights.

    Netflix will replace Sky for TV shows and movies, maybe Amazon or some other company will replace Sky and BT for sports coverage.

Clubs are in debt due to the money they've had to spend on players, it's unsustainable, and it's a knock or effect of what sky has done to football.

    If my mate wants to keep streaming then I don't really blame him..
    Sky have been bad for football - I agree with that completely.

    Privatisation has been bad for the energy industry.

    The answer isn't to get their services without paying, in my opinion.

    Yes they would. Would the football industry be dead in weeks, or would other players join the clubs?

    I see what you're saying but that logic is dumb

    Stoke City, Swansea City, Burnley, maybe even Cardiff are all in the Premier League and no longer have the means to pay players on long contracts the wages that they were on last season.

    In your ideal world, those clubs will ditch the expensive signings and bring in a load of rookies. Are the stadiums still full? And the wealthy owners, with their clubs getting no coverage, are they still in the boardrooms? If they are, how long before results like Burnley winning at Chelsea become impossible, let alone a Leicester City winning the league.

    Are Sky charging too much? For some, yes, but they are getting enough subscriptions to back up their pricing. Have Sky been good for football, absolutely not, but the game is now wholly reliant on the TV companies continuing to spend silly money to cover a single game.

    Is it morally acceptable to get things for free that other people pay for - would it be ok if people did that to your workplace or business?

    I can see where you are coming from, but it's a weak attempt to justify what people are doing - and that is stealing. I can't go into Tesco and pick up what I want and refuse to pay for them because I want Tesco checkout staff to get a pay-rise. People think this is different because it is intangible. I know a musician who loses thousands to illegal downloads every year. If that is ok by you, then it's worrying. If it's not ok, then is it ok to do it to Sky and BT purely because they are rich corporates? If so, then why don't we all just stop paying for anything ever?

    Believe it or not, football existed long before Sky and the premier league.

    Surprisingly, lots of people watched it, players made a living from it and we didn't have to listen to Jamie Carraghers voice.

    The only reason we ever needed sky / bt / bbc at games was because they had the cameras and the technology to broadcast.

    This is now achievable without them
    Bang on. Take the toxic Sky out of the equation asap.

    The only issue with this is if they don't share the revenue. 20 million people paying to watch Manchester United games, 50k watching West Brom v Swansea.

    Then it goes back to how it used to be,clubs with the largest patronage were the biggest clubs.
