JR 1,480 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 SCOTTISH FOOTBALL - A four-year deal with the Scottish FA beginning next season for the Scottish Cup, international friendlies and Scottish FA Youth Cup.What's the current deal for the domestic leagues in Scotland ~ apart from a pie supper and a deep fried mars bar? When does that expire? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Is the deal not something like 10m a year?Quick Google. 60m over 5yrsI thought it had never been confirmed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDak 798 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Wow, that's impressive considering I heard this morning that Sky paid £760M for EPL rights.I wish BT would come in and bankroll us the way Sky did with the EPL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Did salmond not say a while back that all the sfa teams games would be on free to air Tv.Salmond doesn't negotiate the TV deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
better than all the rest 153 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Salmond doesn't negotiate the TV deal.We all know it's liewell who negotiates the tv deals.But salmond has said in the past these games he wants free to air. So once again an empty pledge to his followers.Alex Salmond has previously criticised “extraordinary and frankly unacceptable” position that Scotland’s qualifiers are not shown on terrestrial channels. England’s football matches are broadcast on ITV, as part of an exclusive four-year deal with the English FA.http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/arts/news/independence-snp-vow-to-show-scotland-games-free-1-2960413 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
72barca 1,788 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 The BBC still got Scottish Cup rights as well?I haven't been following the discussion, but here are a few questions about BBC Scotland.1. If Salmond wins the independence vote, will he keep the BBC?2. If he keeps it will it still be attached to the BBC in London?3. How will it be funded, as it is now or purely by Scots' licence payers?4. Will it acquire its own BBC Trust or maintain a connection to the present one?5. Will there be any change in the people who run the Sports department right now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDak 798 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Alcapone, c'mon man let's get serious here.The moment Sky started pumping the dough into the EPL was the moment things took off for them.I'm not going to pretend I know all the figures going back 20 years but anyone can see that it was a mutually beneficial deal the two of them had.Sky put the cash in to make it a profitable and enticing prospect then they have the rights to show it and are the only ones (until recently) who can afford those rights.
