As for premier sports not a chance I'd pay money to them for the cup games. The EFL (Championship) has just announced a deal worth £595m. Almost 6 x the SPFL one.

Won't miss listening to BT's childish discussions, put it that way. Agreed. BT are bad. But Sky have Andy Walker, who is just as bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's mostly an alright pundit/commentator tbh. It's the crawling up his arse that the other pundits on BT do that gets to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get to show double the amount of games, plus get higher viewing figures and appeal to a wider audience than Scottish football does. If you look deeper into the figures the English Championship teams and below get very little each from the TV deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ritchieshearercaldow 22,123 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Not worth it if you’re only interested in watching the Gers. There’s plenty ways to watch without having to pay full whack. And the beeb still won’t be covering our home games, cunts.

docspiderman 1,220 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Always thought Sky has far better camera work and professionalism than Bt. I want to watch the game, I don,t want to hear pundits trying their best to find controversy or imply dubious decisions which seemed to be the main policy of the Bt pundits and commentators.

Leeds_Bear 8,102 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I’m wouldn’t care if it was Neil Lennon presenting every week - it’s the pitiful £100m (rumoured) over 5 seasons which concerns me. Our game is run by absolute idiots. Where’s the fucking innovation? Approach an Amazon/Netflix - make a compelling case, sell our product don’t fucking torpedo it.

True Hair Bear 110 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Might of been a better deal if SFA and clubs didn't go for a short fix didn't drop sky for that daft Setanta deal years ago.. BlearyEyedBear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlearyEyedBear 4,148 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 This all stems from Roger Mitchell’s decision to reject Sky in favour of his own pie-in-the sky SPL TV channel which never got off the ground. Lex Gold then took a gamble on the Setanta TV deal, confidently stating that it wouldn’t lead to collapse like ITV Digital. Well we all know what happened there. Sky stepped in to bail us out and we’ve been playing with the weaker hand in negotiations ever since.
