In the background, it is impossible for clubs at the moment to cash in, for example, entréindtægter and live up to several of the contractual obligations they have entered into with, among other sponsors.
But not enough of it. Thus, the reported Chronically, with tv channels such as TV3 and streaming service Viaplay, last week sharply out on tv pengeområdet that, seen in an economic perspective is perhaps the single most important piece in the Danish topfodbolds economic puzzle.
“We make no additional payments for events, which has been postponed, and, if udskydelserne leading to cancellations, we expect that rettighedsejerne to honour their contractual obligations and refund all the payments we’ve already made,” was Chronically-director Anders Jensen was quoted as saying in a press release.
the Opinion is, of course, been noticed by Divisionsforeningens director, Claus Thomsen, B. T. have contacted to get answers on whether he believes Chronically is in its good right to act, as the case may be.
“Just that I have no comments to. We have concluded some contracts. The ones we observe, and we go out from that tv companies are also doing,” said Claus Thomsen, who does not want to comment on what agreements exactly contains.
According to B. T. s information is, however, quite certain that the current tv deal brings Superliga clubs over 300 million dollars per year spread over three payments: After 13 rounds, after 26 rounds – that is, by grundspillets end – and after the season.
The critical situation to be addressed around in the Danish Superliga clubs in different ways.
In the Hobro IK has currently discharged about 30 of its 50 employees.
“It is indisputable that the whole Danish society is enormous pressure. But in the HICCUPS we have not fired any, and there are no layoffs on the block. The problem lies in, if we move down and to top it might lack of seven-eight million in relation to the expected. So in the long run we might be able to get it hard. I am sure that we in the Hobro IK can handle a possible relegation, but we can also do it, if all the other things come on top? It is really hard to assess right now,” says the chairman of the board Lars Kühnel, that does not put the hide on, that the tv-money in the total records is important.
“The redrawing of the sponsorship, we in the course of the spring should try to get in the house with the local, but economically pressed industry, we must because of coronakrisen expect will be lower. So if the tv money is not going to payout, we are going to be missing some revenue. There are a great many uncertainties at the moment. A second question is whether we can make use of the compensation mechanisms that the government has made,” he says.
Lars Kühnel have a hope that kampprogrammet in the League can be resumed around 1. June.
“It will be a horrible feeling if the season ends here, and we do not have the ability to determine whether we are rescuing us from relegation or become degraded,” says Lars Kühnel, who has this comment, about kampprogrammet in his opinion, must be done at any price:
“There must, of course, not be played, if people become infected and die, but we will be ready to make up for battle each and every day in a period, if it is necessary. In my opinion, should the season be decided on the pitch and not on the desktop.”
Silkeborg IFs executive director, Kent Madsen, does not hide that in the mid Superliga club is pleased that after five years of regnskabsoverskud have a robust economy.
“In the period we have increased our equity by eur 50 million. crowns. It comes to us, when you get hit by a tsunami, as this is,” says Kent Madsen, and adds:
“But we look very seriously at the situation. Fortunately, it is not yet come so far that we can’t handle it. We do of course use of the various packages that the government has offered, and so it will probably go.”
Kent Madsen hope to coronakrisen soon is over.
“Are we back in the Danish midsummer, we must pay the bill and move on. But if it lasts half a year, it’s my picture, that 80 percent of Denmark’s businesses are being hit hard, and we will be,” says Kent Madsen.
as for the lack of tv-pengeudbetalinger, whereas Kent Madsen for the organization of division.
“The issue leaves me safe to Claus Thomsen (Divisionsforeningens director, ed.) to handle. But it is clear that coronakrisen for all in our industry pulling teeth out.”
Randers FCs director, Henrik Jørgensen, choosing also to keep his opinion to himself about Nents announcement that the payout of tv money so far is frozen.
“frankly I don’t what is up and down in the case,” says Henrik Jørgensen, who is not at present dare to answer the question of whether the kronjyske Superliga club have the economy to run on the shop, if the payouts stopped.
“It is too early to say. For what will the government’s stimulus packages mean? Right now, I think that there are more unanswered questions than answered. But we hope and trust that the tournament is finished. If it ends like, solves the problems itself.”
In Randers FC has mandskabsmæssigt tackled the situation, so that right now only two remain in klubadministrationen, while the players are sent home.
“If coronakrisen continue in the eternities, I will not exclude that there may be savings, but it is not the case that we neither have fired employees or the board of directors discussed nedbemanding. All of a sudden, we started again, and so we will need everyone who was here before, so we can maintain the licensing requirements and, hopefully, to run the business, we now even the driver, the forward,” says Henrik Jørgensen.
