After the big 5, Portugal and Holland we should be in that bracket £60-70m a season. Fucking disgrace a British league with the world’s most famous derby gets less money than West Brom will in parachute payments.

We should be demanding more of the cut if that's the case. Just like Barca and real negotiate their own deals for their leagues.

It's all about the Rangers.

Real and Barca don't do that anymore afaik.

Benfica (and other Portugal clubs) does though and they have a sweet deal.

That is fucking embarrassing :huh: SPFL doing a great job then......

They should be hunted out of office. 

 They removed probabaly the only league game of interest (beyond our border) off the fixture list for years and then alongside our media promote it as something to be embarrassed about.  The media in particular do all they can to trod on what should be an asset. (Shame game as two dug outs have a few words etc)  

Personally I don’t watch a single game we do not feature in from our division.  

All that said how they are managing to negotiate less that some of those other countries.....

I'd love that.

Their coverage is better and not having to listen to crocker and walker would be heaven. 

Really?! Chris Sutton, Michael Stewart, Terry Butcher. BT Sport coverage is pantomime mate - at least Boyd and Commons are objective in their punditry.

Aye well to be fair, Taigs would rather watch Gerrards first game than their own

I don’t think the tv companies will be doubling their cash on the odd chance he’s still here in 2/3 years and why would they renegotiate early when they don’t have to?

More money in the league means better players and a more saleable product for the TV Companies- speculate to accumulate and all that.

It's crazy how much even the Belgian and Norwegian Leagues get when their not really any better than Scotland. Scotland is a victim of being next door to the most fashionable restaurant in town.

I do think though that the whole Gerrard vs Rodgers angle might entice the casual fan in. BT tried to sell the Milan derby in similar way a few years ago with Mourinho v Beckham

Being that Sky has lost the La Liga rights they should have a bunch of cash that could easily be invested in to the Scottish game making it more marketable. They'll probably use it to buy e-sports or some shite like that.

To be fair id watch guys playing call of duty over partick v hamilton any day.
