I don't know about this, but doubt there is much separate local coverage since all of Spain is about the size of Texas.

I thought Barca and RM had their own TV deals, at least domestically - this may replace that, or more likely, I was just mistaken...might just have been that they got the lions share of the league's deal.

There's way more money in England, yes. But the key for these numbers is they represent a 250% increase in revenue for over 15 Spanish clubs, but less than 10% increase for RM and Barca.

Exactly.  This will help out the clubs towards the bottom.  Finally people realized that having a more competitive league is beneficial for everyone. Unless you subscribe to the theory that having a cake domestic schedule allows the club to focus on CL.  I don't really believe that though as there's plenty of counter examples.

 
What in the name of Ricky van Wolfswinkel is going on in Norwich?    The Canaries have gone months without scoring four.

 
Holy crap, the FIRE! has already played seven games. I wasn't paying any attention--not that they deserve it. But it's nice to see them somewhere other than the cellar. We'll see how long that lasts.

 
Looks like Kamera is going to the Revs.  No idea what would come back (Agudelo?  Bunberry?).  Part of me thinks that a 4-4-2 with Nguyen playing behind Agudelo and Kai would be one of the great risk/reward lineups in MLS history.  It could be sensational or disastrous. 

EDIT:  Ah, Carlyle reporting no other players involved.  Just a bunch of allocation money.  Let's play groundless DP speculation!  Klose?

The Revs need a striker in the worst way, but Heaps refuses to play a 2 striker system to this date.  He is married to a 4-5-1 and alternates Bunbury, Agudelo, and Davies up top by themselves and all struggle a ton.  I would love this trade if he could just bend his system a little.

Kamara was set to be traded to Vancouver late last night but it looks like that blew up for some reason.  Here is the exact transaction (minus the money involved which is still never released).

======================================================

TRANSACTION: New England Revolution acquire Kei Kamara from Columbus Crew SC in exchange for General Allocation Money, Targeted Allocation Money, New England’s highest First Round MLS SuperDraft pick in 2017, New England’s highest Second Round MLS SuperDraft pick in 2018, and one of New England’s international roster spots for the 2016 season. Additionally, Crew SC will retain a percentage of any future transfer fee for Kamara should he be transferred to a club outside of MLS. Kamara will occupy a Designated Player slot on the Revolution’s roster.

===============================

oh and this :)

I still can't believe that the Union look like a legitimately good team this year. They really should've taken all 3 points last night. The Galaxy were clearly checked out by about the 60th minute.

This is the perfect year for the Union to get settled.

The East in general looks pretty bad outside of Montreal.  TFC is probably in a really good spot surviving the super long road trip to start the season.

The Union should be able, at worst to make the playoffs.  The Kamara trade is an important one for Union fans to watch because the Revs clearly got better at a position they really needed and they looked to be one of the teams that would be miss the playoffs this year.

 
One of the media monitoring firms did a study on soccer watching on English language TV sampling 3 years to show the  growth of the sport.

Total consumption of soccer on all national US networks:2003 - 4.0 billion minutes of viewing2011 - 18.9 billion2015 - 42.2 billion

 
Those ALWAYS work out well

@gTownPsycho_: are you pissed that your career as a patient has been interrupted by occasional football outings?  #AskJackWilshere
