Well it's not a secret that foreign teams don't get sponsors "cake" (only 8 Austrian teams does) and because of that they are unsatisfied and demanding equitable distribution. Because of that lack of money foreign teams have financial problems and playing in a long term in EBEL is killing those clubs.
Austrian teams still don't want to divide their "cake"....here is lying the biggest problem. And that's why foreign teams are unhappy with current situation...
Well one league and different rules for different teams is not fair right? Imagine that in (for an sample) NHL (USA/CAN) or in KHL would give main sponsors money only to a few clubs...@bananaliga
Austrian clubs can't sell the TV rights on their own, they're bound to ServusTV which is not broadcasting (and therefore not selling commercial time) outside of Austria. I don't know about Sky but I guess things are the same. So even though I'm all for an international league with the same rules and compensation for all clubs I'm having a hard time imagining a proper solution to this.
I don't believe that Austrians get more money from the Erste Bank sponsoring - or do they? This would be outrageous in my opinion.
