I’d rather see Michael Crick do a documentary on the Glazers and the handling of the club under them.
Sun: Netflix and Amazon Prime in bidding war to sign Man Utd for revealing fly-on-the-wall docuseries like All or Nothing
- Thread starter #07
- Start date
City, Spurs and Arsenal all received around 10M which is basically printing money considering how much veto rights clubs get on the final edit + the "free" marketing boost.
United could probably milk it and get a few millions more but there's no way it goes over 15/20. Amazon doesn't really make money on these, it's produced at loss just to grab even more Prime subscribers.
Will be fuming if this goes ahead.
I think dressing rooms, managers offices should still be sacred.
As others has said, the money won't be huge and we are the most well known club on earth - we dont need the exposure.

A sadist
Nothing or nothing
Thanks. Yeah, that sort of fee sounds reasonable. For £15m, plus further exposure/marketing, it makes sense. As a kid in the 90s, I was probably drawn to United by the marketing - the cup final songs, I remember having a United edition of Beano (or it was an edition that had a United section), and my mate having a season review/highlights video which we watched together about 50 times. At the time, United were well ahead of the curve, as basic and cheesy as it seems today. We were also either the first to do pre-season tours abroad, or at least upped the scale of it, bringing in a huge worldwide audience. We need to catch up with the times.
I would add, aren't all Amazon Video/Netflix revenues purely from subscriptions? So all their shows would be made at a loss, discounting subscriptions
Don't want to see this happen and I hope the fans still put pressure on Glazers to sell

Feck this though. If we're crap, which is most likely at the moment, it's just something for other fans to watch in delight. They get enough of that from us most weeks.
And players who might respond alright to a bollocking normally might be seriously pissed off about being bollocked on camera publicly. Not ideal considering the amount of bollockings ETH will no doubt need to dish out.

Aren't we already memed enough?
Oh god (we need a puking emoji)
Netflix is mainly subs yes, hence why they're in deep sh*t. Shows cost dozens to hundreds of millions to be made and they dont get you millions new subscribers and even less long-term ones.Thanks.

Amazon though has 200M Prime subscribers so about 10B yearly. Then they also do a bit of selling on their website, but the main thing is their servers, AWS is the base of most websites and internet services in the world and that alone racks in 60B+
So yeah they can afford to produce those series at an acceptable loss. I think the new LOTR series has a 700M budget...
It wasn’t for alcohol, it was for a fruit juice. Jack-off Joel is such a cheapskate, he couldn’t even let £1 slip by.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has said he was surprised by Manchester United’s “small, closed mentality” upon signing for the club in 2016, bemoaning the fact that he was once deducted £1 from his lucrative salary for enjoying a fruit juice from the mini bar on an away trip.
Imagine these sorts of interactions being filmed in a docu. Will show Jack-off Joel, Rat-tail and their siblings for the cheap-skate small timers they actually are. To hell with them.

Would love to watch something like this, though I'm not sure I would want it around the club. We need to have the team fully focused on the football side of things, and this would likely be a distraction. Saying that it would be cool to have a mini documentary summary of each season during the off season. The club would obviously need to have massive edit/veto powers so that nothing damaging is actually published.
Unneeded distraction.
Explains why we suddenly went from Rabiot and Arnautovic to Casemiro and Antony.
Wish we had one for this season, I would have paid good money for that.
What a season it's been and it would have been great joy to see the side's evolution from that abysmal start.

They missed a trick. I would have paid £100.
An episode.
Nah. This is just bread & circus drama for small clubs. We should be better than that.
It's not though is it?
Would have been unreal this season.
I’d rather we didn’t.
Username checks out (although I agree with you!)
That’s how I see it and I’d much rather it didn’t happen
No. feck off.
Feels like something drama queens like Barca and the dippers do. We’re better than that.
Not a fan of this. Reduces professional sport to Tik-Tok consumer goods and that I'm firmly against.
All the sports that want to do it are just desperate because they cannot sell themselves to the Gen Zs and younger. It was F1 who did it first because were dying with younger audiences, then there's talk of it with tennis (same reason) and this is not much different.
But maybe if they tried charging less for football and made it more accessible, this wouldn't be a problem. Looking at you, chief rat Glazer.

No way, don't need this shit interfering with our season.
It will happen eventually, or an equivalent on another platform. Another revenue stream is how it will be seen by execs.
Glad it hasn't happened yet as some of the last few years have been that painful.

I don't see the issue, it seems every club is doing this now and hasn't done any of them any harm
This kind of shit is for small time clubs
Pointless unless the club do a Sunderland and stupidly sign over editorial rights. We wouldn’t see anything juicy, they’re usually puff pieces.
Not necessarily if we're actually winning things, I know the chances of them showing anything juicy is pretty low if the club has any control over the final product but I still would love to see some backstage footage like what happened in our dressing room before the Barcelona second half.
Nope. Missed their chance with the shitfest the last few years thankfully.
All Or Nothing was an NFL thing first I believe, and those ones have been brilliant, much the same as Hard Knocks which has been going for many years and is great.
Still against this, the potential down-side totally outweighs the gains, financial or otherwise. Let ETH cook in peace.
Not sure ETH would allow something like this.
Glad we didn't go down this route and we focused on football for once.
As much as I’d love to watch something like this it is just an unnecessary distraction for the players.. would do more wrong than right for sure.
No it's not a distraction. I'm dreaming for a documentary like "The last Dance" for United. Wish they recorded everything back then in 99.
Man United's history is too big to not be told with cameras. We are getting successful again with ETH, why not?
