And a number of top clubs have been alarmed by the sound of players and coaches voices which have been picked up by the microphones with the resumption of the Bundesliga.
It also comes at a time when broadcasters in the UK are set to demand unparalleled access to behind-the-scenes areas at matches as part of the price clubs will have to pay in return for not having to pay the full rebates the broadcasters would be entitled to otherwise, after the absence of live football from TV screens for three months.
Already there have been that sound effects could be piped into stadiums, not only to provide the atmosphere of the missing fans, but also to drown out any inappropriate words.
The fears are exacerbated by the fact that, with all games set to be staggered over a weekend, a number could take place at a time when young children are likely to be watching.
In turn that could lead to clubs being fined and disciplined for players acting and behaving in such a way that is second nature to many of them the world over, whatever level of football they play at normally.
Amongst the innovations that are being proposed include placing microphones in the technical areas at the side of the pitch, although many coaches are opposed to this idea. Cameras will be also situated in dressing rooms to capture teams before and after games, whilst half-time interviews with players and managers as they leave the pitch could become commonplace.
Players may also be encouraged to film a pre-match clip of them in the hotel or on the team bus on their way to the ground as part of the pre-match build-up.
The broadcasters are potentially owed hundreds of millions of pounds in rebates because of the failure of Premier League clubs to fulfill; their fixtures on scheduled dates. With everybody struggling financially in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, clubs are prepared to give them unprecedented access in a bid to reduce the economic hit.
