The end of the suspense.Tuesday, Orange, Canal + and Al Jazeera have filed their candidacy for the LFP for the broadcasting rights of the League 1 and League 2 from 2012 to 2016.After threats of decline, Frederic Thiriez hopes to collect 660 million euros for its clubs.The answer will fall on Friday.Analysis of Frederick Boltony economist sport.
Do you think that the tender concocted by the LFP will be sufficient to limit the damage?
It would take a crystal ball for that.It was the tender most problematic, with the withdrawal of Orange.And with 57% of revenues come from clubs that those rights, the dependence distance is historic.But it's hard is what makes the League.She developed a real expertise that maximizes resources.
How do you view the arrival of Al Jazeera from the candidates?
This is the chef's surprise.And I do not see Al-Jazeera itself as a grocer.There is even talk of a takeover of Orange Sport.The logic will look like the beginning of the Canal +: to be both in the capital of a club (PSG) to and broadcaster.It is beyond the direct profitability.This is called vertical integration.They will try to incorporate all stages of the production line of the football spectacle, to make the best content.
In the end, it seems that the LFP is much better than expected to get away ...
In the short term, the prospect was very complicated.But in the long term, between 2016 and Euro financial fair play ... the past two years, finances are much cleaner.Creating CFoot, to scare Canal, was a very good idea.And then this last-minute competitor is out of the hat.Al-Jazeera, the League is a blessing.
