Spurs pull the trigger. Nuno fired  

 


Conte likely to be the next guy

I'm not sure why Spurs or Conte would want that.  Conte wants to manage a team that will spend and Spurs want a manager who plays offensive minded football.  Neither offers what the other wants.  Even though Conte's better than Jose at this point in time, I expect the results will be the same.

I'm surprised Nuno didn't take some time off after leaving Wolves. He seemed utterly spent and jumping right into a bad situation at Spurs was always going to prove a monumental challenge.

 

Nuno is a very poor man's Mourinho without the constant shitting on players. He literally has zero attacking tactics outside of sitting deep and countering.

Emery is a good coach but by all accounts his biggest problem at Arsenal was his broken English. so many players were confused about their roles and responsibilities because they just couldn't understand the guy. i don't think he's a great fit in England.

Only purchase players that speak Spanish.

Maybe since he coaches for a rich club, they will play for English lessons for him or a translator.

is Emery on board with a season in the Championship next year?

10 matches done and dusted with 4 points - he would be starting in a deep hole.

Premier League games move to USA after NBCSN shuts down Dec. 31

 Chris Moore  November 2, 2021  Leagues: EPL, NBC Sports, USA Network  3 Comments

Premier League games move to USA

Editor’s note: As Premier League games move to USA beginning in 2022, find out what this means for soccer fans.

NBCSN will officially be going dark at the end of 2021. News of the sports channel being shut down isn’t exactly earth shattering. Sports Business Journal predicted the demise almost twelve months ago that it would go out of business. However, what is new is there are some interesting developments in the decision.

At the end of December 31, much of NBC Sports programming will shift to the USA network. This includes Premier League matches that would have normally aired on NBCSN. USA will broadcast a trio of Premier League games on January 1. Subsequently, many more will air on USA for the remainder of the 2021/22 season. No doubt, the decision to transition live sports programming from NBCSN to USA has been in the works for some time.

Here is what NBC Sports Programming Executive Vice President Tom Knapp said about the news:

“The strategic and intentional move of sports content to USA was a long and collaborative process with our corporate cousins at USA. It has created the cable version of a broadcast network, with the exception of news.”

Some may question why sports will now be on a network that primarily focuses on television dramas. However, Knapp suggests that the move could potentially bring in new fans. “The entertainment viewer will be exposed to these sports properties in ways that they haven’t been before. We believe that cross-pollination will be good for everybody,” he said.

PREMIER LEAGUE GAMES MOVE TO USA

USA actually began as a cable channel called the Madison Square Garden Network in 1977. The old MSG channel previously broadcasted MLB, NHL, NBA, as well as boxing, tennis, and wrestling.

As of December 2020, USA was in 86 million households in the United States. That was down four million from the previous year. This is still actually around six million more households than NBCSN at the time of the report.

Fifteen years ago, USA was the number one primetime cable network. Nevertheless, as cable TV subscriptions have steadily declined in recent years, NBC is clearly consolidating their networks to help ease the pain of dwindling cable viewers.

Although many Premier League matches will air on USA, some will appear on NBC’s other sister channels. For example, they will air across NBC, CNBC and E!, as well as their streaming service Peacock.

Along with Premier League games, USA is also set to broadcast IndyCar and NASCAR races, college basketball, golf, and Olympic sports in 2022.

NBCSN is shutting down in the middle of the bidding process for the next round of Premier League TV rights. How that will impact future broadcasts will certainly be a talking point. NBC’s exclusive Premier League coverage in the U.S. is set to expire at the end of the current campaign. ESPN, CBS, Amazon Prime and FOX are all thought to be in competition with NBC to secure the next contract with the Premier League.

As always, be sure to check our regularly updated Premier League television schedule to know exactly where to find each game.
