FOOTBALL FEDERATION AUSTRALIA'S NEW FIVE-YEAR TV DEAL
- Total revenue for TV rights = $175 million for five years
- $35 million each year until 2017
- Fox Sports paid for most of the deal with the Federal Government tipping in for SBS TV's share of the rights
- Deal starts when new 2012/13 A-League season kicks off on October 5
- Fox Sports will show all A-League and Socceroos matches live (outside the FIFA 2014 World Cup tournament due to the Federal Government's anti siphoning law)
- SBS will host one live Sunday A-League fixture per week. The station will also host Socceroos matches on a slight delay
- A-League clubs will currently receive $1.9 million in revenue from the FFA which is to be used for salary caps - about $700,000 short of the total allowed salary cap.

This is a giant step forward for us in terms of free to air viewing of A-League matches, although only 1 game per week on free to air it is 1 game more than has been shown since the inaugural season.
If you need me to explain the anti siphoning rules for Aus sport let me know, alternatively, google it.
To say I'm excited about this deal is quite an understatment

So did Adelaide, I'm a league and 'soccer' diehard living in Adelaide. So sick of hearing about AFL.
I +1ed your post because I don't like Collingwood.

Casey Stoner has hinted at a future in car racing after he retires from MotoGP at the end of the season.
Stoner, 26, is currently recovering from ankle surgery and will quit the sport at the end of the year.
He told Australian Channel Seven: "I'm hoping to go car racing, it's been a long time dream of mine.
"I've had a huge passion for V8s since I've been 12 or 14 years old. In the not too distant future I could be on the grid, you never know."

Would be interesting to see how he goes. Can't see him going to well in the super cars here though. The drivers have been doing it for years before they progress to the super car championship.

Theo Walcott says his future at Arsenal is partly dependent on whether he is selected as a striker in the future.
 
The 23-year-old, who plays predominantly on the wing, is in the final year of his contract and rejected a new five-year deal worth £75,000 a week in August .
 
"I've been judged, with people saying it's all about money. It's never been that with me," Walcott told BBC Sport.
 
"Playing up front is important. It's one of the main factors for me."
 
The England international, who signed for £12.5 from Southampton in 2006, has made four appearances in the league this season, but three as a substitute - scoring one goal.

What do u think asbo, is Walcott one of your favourites?
Personally i think he's a good player but he's never lived up to the hype. Im sure there would be a whole loada clubs interested in January though as im sure Arsenal's gonna want some cash for him, rather than lose him on a free if he's not gonna sign a new contract

he can dream about being theiry henry but it`s never going to happen..

Def agree with ya, he does c himself as the new Henry, but also agree he's never gonna b that gid. When i see him in the champions league is when i think he plays best so maybe a move to the continent could suit him but who knows where. There was a lot o rumours about him coming to Liverpool on the last day or 2 of the transfer window, but instead we got..... ehhh..... nobody xD

He should come to Australia, Ballack deal looks to be falling through.

worse than getting nobody you lost andy carroll... shocked

those yank owners want fast results it`s not going to happen at liverpool without arab backers and a new stadium... gerrard (best [layer) should of left for chelsea a few seasons back when he had the chance i admire his loyalty though. i hope brendan rodgers gets a fair crack of the whip and liverpool finish in the top four this year but i can`t see it at the moment. real shame.

he`s old enough to be your dad wink
I'm older than Walcott and maybe 8 years younger than Ballack
