hellfirejet 96 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Massive cash blow for SPL as they lose £17m in new TV dealAFTER weeks of negotiations a new five-year Sky agreement has been clinched but it’s well short of the millions on offer when Rangers were in the SPL.THE collapse of Rangers has cost the SPL a massive £17million from one TV deal alone.After weeks of negotiations the game’s top flight finally clinched a new five-year Sky agreement yesterday but it’s well short of the millions on offer when Rangers were in the SPL.Last year Sky and the country’s leading clubs had settled on £80m over five years but the contracts were never signed. And it’s believed the deal will give the SPL only £63m over a similar period.But from that figure £9m will have to be paid to the SFL over the next three years and then £4m over the remaining two years of the deal.That, of course, means several SPL clubs are still facing financial hardship.With Rangers in the Third Division the SFL were able to sell their TV rights to the SPL for just more than £1m a year for the next three years and that fee will have to come out of the new Sky deal.The SPL must also pay a £2m settlement fee – agreed when the top clubs broke away in 1998 – every year and that, too, will be taken out of the new telly package.So, with SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster and Celtic chief Peter Lawwell, who led the negotiating team, having agreed a new package worth just less than £13m a year the amount to be spread among the 12 top clubs is actually only around £10m a year for the next three years.For the remaining two years of the deal the figure will be closer to £11m, although there will be clauses in the new agreement which will allow for an increase should Rangers win promotion every season for the next three.Fuck the SPL I hope they all go tits up wankers!

corkinator 611 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Far too much IMO, akin to covering the welsh league set up, wonder how much they would pay for that. I believe prize money, etc, has to come out of the sky deal too, so on average each club will be getting a lot less than the 10 mill decided by 12.Still too much tho, will be cancelling sky today.

hemdale1873 167 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Basically £10m a year between 12 clubs with Sellik taking about a 25% cut of that at least ha ha ha ha.Add that to the overseas t.v rights being canceled that's another minus £2.75m, Clydesdale bank pulling out at the end of this season is another £10m loss, Rangers fans not buying tickets for away games minus 2 or 3 million as season as well.The suicide pact league really is doing a great job on the commercial front???, Would imagine that £10m per season will go down not up with all the clauses written into the sky deal etc. Can't see many Rangers fans keeping sky sports now paying over £200 a year to watch 5 sfl games so once the ratings flatline so will the money.I'm sure the English are going to be excited about watching Ross co vs Inverness while waiting for Champions league winners Chelsea vs EPL champs Man city to start?Just hurry up and die spl so we can have a laugh.....

foghorn leghorn 608 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I'm disappointed in sky tv because paying the spl £13m a year for three years without us is crazy.So it was £16m a season with Rangers in the spl and £13m without,doesn't make financial sense to me,when you look at sky sports scottish football viewing figures (posted via a link on RM weeks ago).Ok,they get to show some of our games,but sky won't get the same advertising income as a Rangers v tic game. Supporters on RM were calling for sky customers to cancell their contracts,but I couldn't see a valid reason untill now.Don't blame the SFL for selling their tv rights to the spl,that's just over £1m less in spl's biscuit tin.

bluedart1952 1,340 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Welldone to the SPL( the silly peoples league).With Doncaster,Lawwell running the SPL and Regan at the SFA (this man nearly ruined cricket in England)I think Scottish Footballs in good hands. (I don't think so).PS And I don't think I am being Bigoted by my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyc06 6,902 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 10m split 12 ways isn't a lot!

iang2911 423 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I care, this whole deal was negotiated on the back of my club and I want to know how much we are getting from itWe are not entitled to any of the media rights in the SFL. Our membership is as an affiliate and thAt requires 4 years membership before getting a share. However David Langmuir has stated that the SFL would look at it fairly and see what Rangers could get. But the rules are that we do not get anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 So they're down £5.2m a season from TV money alone.Add in say 2 matches with 7,500 at £30 a ticket that's £450,000. Programmes, pies and Bovrils may bring that up to over £0.5m.You're looking at clubs losing almost a million a season.The SPL may not see out the season, let alone the clubs within it.

glesgabear81 24 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Have the SFA or sky officially confirmed the numbers for the deal?ps. Sky were due to make a payment this month under the terms of the existing deal, is there any word on that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coop troop 106 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 10m split 12 ways isn't a lot! And it will be split evenly as the farriers have now lost the only thing that kept them in any sort of power was Us and the 11-1 voting system!How long till the voting system is up for debate? I would enjoy watching septic trying to protect their position of control when there every other team can gain from their loss. I can see the other teams (also scum) moving to level the payments as soon as possible to protect their integrity and sporting fairness, oh, and get more money off the paedo's.I feel a song coming on myself!WATP Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
