According to the latest reports, the Lega Serie A clubs were unable to agree on introducing funds and a media company because of finances and archive footage.
A vote was again postponed during today’s Lega Serie A meeting, so will be discussed in next Thursday’s summit instead.
According to Calcio e Finanza, there are two main issues holding up the vote on whether to introduce outside funds to Italian football for the first time and the creation of a media company to deal with their image and television rights.
The first problem is waiting to see what the offers are for national broadcast rights to Serie A for the 2021-24 era, which are due to start discussion in earnest from tomorrow.
The other larger concern is who will have ownership and rights over archive footage.
This could be a huge problem going forward, not just for the creation of clips used on social media, but also potential Amazon-style documentaries.
The clubs want guarantees that they will be able to profit from the footage without needing to pay extra to the media company.
