Looks like Chelsea are coming to Thailand in July.
I'm sharpening my quill already. The Liverpool and Leicester games were unpleasant enough, but this fixture brings with it the added stench of Worawi's 2018 World Cup vote. |

Met up with nigb last night, and during our conversation, the topic of media coverage of the TPL came up. I mentioned in passing this article I read a couple of weeks ago, and he seemed rather interested in it, so I thought I'd post here.
TrueVisions with Siam Sport have signed a 3-year deal for TV rights to the TPL, from 2011 to 2013. Teams in the TPL will benefit, with each of the 18 teams receiving 4 million baht, up from 2.5 million this season.
In 2011, all 306 TPL matches will be televised, with 204 matches on TrueVisions, 68 matches on NBT 11, and the remaining 34 on T-Sport.

A nice windfall for the clubs but does anyone else think that this is ....er...."slightly" excessive? |

Do you have any idea which True sport channels they'll use? From the figures above it means NBT get 1 game, T-Sport 2 games and the remaining 6 will be on True every round of fixtures. Will this mean that we'll end up with Thursday, Friday and Monday night games every week to accommodate live TV? |

I don't know. I think Truesport 6 has had a few matches this season. Also, no mention in the article about using FBSTV and SSTV like this season.
If they split the matches over Sat/Sun, and have 4pm & 6pm kick-offs, it might be manageable. Truesport 6 could show 2 matches on Sat & 2 on Sun, while T-Sport (and another Truesport channel) show one each per day. NBT 11 get the 9th match.

Yes it was planned that Pipat should play for Buriram FC. But I guess Pipat didn't had much of an interest. And so they swapped with a young lad from Oso. and as Vinnie already posted the link above I try to track all the actual transfers. You can find the whole list here: thai-fussball.de - Transfer overviewWhat is missing, 4 brazilians from Army, the Korean lads for Police and one Japanese lad from Singapore for Sisaket. What's the source you're using on the Ibrahim to PTT deal? |

Sriracha for me. They won Division 1 at a canter, and they've added a couple of decent signings.

This. Like Police before them, were miles in front of Div 1, and I'd expect them to do a similar job to Police this season, and finish 10-12th. From what I saw of Khon Kaen last season, I think they'll be fighting a relegation battle most of the season, unless their recruiting works out brilliantly. I don't know much about Chiang Rai. By all accounts the club is well run and they've got long-term goals and plans, etc. Can they continue their meteoric rise and challenge for the title, or will they find they've over-stretched, and the team isn't quite ready for the TPL just yet? |

I believe that all three have a good chance to stay up. IN my oppinion TOT and Navy are already relegated even before the season kicked off. TOT is still waiting regarding the ownership and nothing happend so far. They even lost a few good players already. The same goes for Navy with all that trouble about their Ltd. They already lost the Korean twins, and are up to loose 3 players which are key to them.
Siracha is still looking for some players, but not for the sake just to do it. Their goal was to keep the squad together from 2010, and just add a few players.

Good stuffs, 2011 will probably be my first season of following Thai Leagues closely. In the past, I found that too many leagues and teams to make sense of it all. That and for fearing of getting too emotionally involve with lots of things including individuals still not that unfamiliar. Above all, I just don't want ruin it for everyone here with whom I really admired for supports lending to local football considering everyone's football observation experiences. In regarding to Navy Rayong, are they facing financial trouble? What about TOT, what exactly their situation?

Good question, not sure what goals TOT are seeing. The other company run clubs seem to have sorted themselves out, they all seem to have some kind of vision bar probably the Army which I can probably understand. TOT, they have what seems a suitable which they don't want to call home but they do rather oddly have a few fans, these fans of which i understand wanted to take the team back home. Possible management struggle at TOT since rebranding to TOT-CAT? |

I agree with both points about Khon Kaen and Chiang Rai. Sriracha, they've been there before, have they learnt there leason? I do think they will survive but i think it will be a close call. The only reason I can find that CR and Khon Kaen may survive would be because of the other poor TPL teams left. Can Sisaket plug that leaky defence. Can the Army show us that they survived last season on merit. Will the Navy actually move up that damm table? How long can they sit just above the drop zone? I'm not too sure of what personnel the teams of TTM, Osotspa and Polcie are adding to the team, so it could just be that one of these get dragged into a dogfight aswell, which helps the promoted teams stayer closer to the pack more than anything. |

I didn't finsih the Englsih version of my Pre-Season round up. So you could read it there. Anyway TOT is looking for a new shareholder since weeks. Navy did not really had financial problems. But a problem with the registerd company. As the Navy itself wanted a different LTD. to rule the club. To make it short Navy's prefered management team earned the right though. Now they move back to Sattahip probably under the reign of the Navy. Due the deadlock the lost and are on to loose a few key players. |

TTM no clue. But they were up to sign a few Koreans as Wolf reported. Even Oso lost a few players, like Kapfa, I think they will be decent and hard to play as usual. Police, squad wise should do better than last year. The tricky thing is that Thawatchai lead a good Pattaya squad to a 6th place in the league, without any good practicing. At least compared to the standards and the new Pattaya Coach. |

Government agencies or its subsidary outfits, I am sorry, should stay clear of highway to professional football development and business. It's just a different World from where they were born and raised. Then again, in the real especially in this country that's not going to happen. So, will have to wait and see how things will turn out for these hybrid clubs.

That's a very bold prediction considering there is still 5 weeks until the season kicks off. A lot can change in 5 weeks in Thai football. At this moment in time, things don't look good for TOT but you never know what's around the corner. An investment of cash and relocation would certainly change things. If this doesn't happen, then I'd fear for their top flight status too. As for Navy Rayong, I don't know much about their current financial predicament. I read that they plan to move to Sattahip at some point during this season. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing for them. I know that there was problems with the stadium in Rayong as they were sharing it. |

The Navy Stadium is only a couple of miles away from their current home. The move might alienate some fans, especially as it involves crossing the county line. |

YOu have two weeks, than to get a new team, bring them together and find a new coach. Pretty tough I think if you consider that good players are already under contract than. |

I know what I am going to say is not going to please some people but the situation with Navy Rayong and TOT (and PEA before that) is a direct result of poor planning before launching TPL. Clubs should present TPL of its capability to survivability and justifiable business growth for league's stability for one. Geographical or territorial establishment to prevent fans base war that could ddrail business growth of individual clubs is another. If for some reasons Chonburi, Sri Racha, Pattaya and Navy-Sattahip wound up in TPL with its population of 1million40k, you do the math. I realize Rayong-Sattahip is not that far but why allow things that potentially could hurt business growth. These things should be on TPL business plan before launching to league and have local fans happy for a season or two then subconciously turn them against teams, clubs, TPL, FAT and football all together.

I think the phrase "when English football started" is the big one here. Thai football hasn't just started. Navy, TOT and PEA all have history. And you imply that if Arsenal suddenly moved lock, stock and barrel to Workington, you wouldn't be bothered? |

They sold a stake to new business partners and the team became TOT CAT. Now they want rid of the new partners and revert back to just TOT again. Or is it something completely different? |

I'd love to know some of the 'reasons' behind their decisions. They are becoming such a non-entity of a team. If it wasn't for the Vihok girls, I wouldn't know they existed  |

It appears that True Visions are now screening Siam Sport TV on channel 69 (since Jan 1st). I've just tuned in to confirm, & it's there.
I guess SSTV will be carrying some of TrueVisions coverage load for the upcoming season.

Guys who won TPL player of the year 2009?
I just dug up an old Football Siam, and it seems there wasn't one. MTU provided the winners for 'keeper (Kawin), defender (Jetsada), coach (Appapol), foreign player (Yaya) BEC had midfielder (Kittipol Bapunga), Golden Boot (Anon), and Fair Play team awards. Kapfa Boonmatoon won Young Player at Osotspa, and Pipat Tonkanya was best forward while wearing a Thai Port shirt. Overall Player not listed. |

Stupid question maybe but is there any link now between Muang Thong and Tero - is Tero being set up as a feeder club for MT? Something like twelve players have moved back and forth over the last few months - both loanees and permanent. Excuse me if I've missed this on a different thread - haven't been on the board for a while and am far too lazy to do too much digging.

Welcome back Glenn, haven't heard from you in a while. I don't think there's any official link but perhaps some unofficial ones. I think it's simply a case of two clubs being close in location, close in size and similar in terms of resources. Tero seem determined to move a few rungs back up the ladder. I think Phuket is the closest we have to an official feeder club. Perhaps Rajpracha, too. |

"Will this mean that we'll end up with Thursday, Friday and Monday night games every week to accommodate live TV?"
I hadn't thought about that. I sincerely hope this is not the case.
And i guess that the monthly rates of True Sport packages will increase to pay for this? I doubt it. Nobody watches Thai football, do they? |

For the last games of last season (when all games kicked off at the same time), True used sport channels 2, 5 and 6 plus T-Sport. All of these are available on gold and platinum packages. TSP 2 and 6 plus T Sports are available on silver, and only T Sports is available on freeview. The people who'll be most likely affected by this will be the Thais on lower incomes as they might have to upgrade their package so that they can watch the live games. |

As people of lower income bracket uograde their TV sobscription packets, it will prove that televise signals purchase from TPL is a good business move. But, if they don't upgrade because they just can't afford it then what? How will this effect TPL Market growth as there are more lower bracket football population than the upper ones obviously.

I knew I should have put a sarcasm smiley on that post. Seriously though, True aren't making money off working class Thais. There's a reason EPL, NHL, and NFL games aren't available on freeview. Their market is middle/upper class Thais and expats. The new Siam Sport (SKTV) channel appears to be a freeview channel, so hopefully there will be matches on it. While I applaud TrueVisions putting money into the local game, it is clear that they don't expect many people to tune in. Look at the number of replays of TPL matches to those of European games, not to mention the EPL preview, prediction, review and analysis shows. By comparision T-Sport has the incredibly low-budget 'Sai Leuat Ball Thai', hidden away at 10pm on a Thursday, after a Thai 'World Football' show. Their commentary also sounds as though the guys are in the same concrete studio, watching the game on TV. I don't expect many Thais to upgrade when they can watch matches on NBT 11, T-Sports and SKTV for free. This is a good thing in my opinion, as more people can get access and be exposed to the local product this way, hopefully leading to a greater number of Thai-focussed football programmes of a decent standard. |

All those replays and cobbled together filler shows taking up valuable airtime, when they could have been showing the Ashes!! |

Good stuffs, 2011 will probably be my first season of following Thai Leagues closely. In the past, I found that too many leagues and teams to make sense of it all. That and for fearing of getting too emotionally involve with lots of things including individuals still not that unfamiliar. Above all, I just don't want ruin it for everyone here with whom I really admired for supports lending to local football considering everyone's football observation experiences. It is a full-time job keeping up with all the ins and outs! I've just spent the best part of an hour reading all the new posts on here since I last visited last Friday. I assume you'll be following Ang Thong F.C of the Regional League Central & East division? http://www.angthongfc.com/ |

It could be a good thing depending on which games they show on free view. Some how I doubt they'll screen the top games for free. Most likely viewers with free view will get to watch games such as TOT v Army or TTM v Osotspa. |
