That is shocking, for some reason I could not confirm last few seasons figures via a search. But 1.5m per season plus 300k per season is a significant sum lost to the game.

As a guide. Gifting this to Sky is quite expensive and more that £1m per year It all depends what Sky can negotiate for the amount. If they can get a company to pay £4m a season then they get that and we get fuck all. I would think the Sky chiefs would be far better negotiators than Doncaster and Lawwell.

SuperLeeMcCulloch 2,330 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 3 hours ago, The Dude said: The Sky deal is worth £32m per year for five years originally. SPFL are paying back approx £300k per year for the duration. And that is just the start of it, if Hearts and Thistle win there cases then that could be another £10m, add in another £2.5m for BT and the pot dwindles further. Also are Sky not sponsoring the league as well now for nothing? That's another £1m at least that could be going into it instead weve gave it up for nothing as the people who run the game are inept.

BBC might want money back too - for lost championship fixtures. I also recall that they had a foreign TV deal - more possible losses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPFL are paying back approx £300k per year for the duration. So including naming rights to the spfl for the same 5 years, Sky will be paid back , one way or another, approx. 10m. Can sprinkle glitter on it all you want, this is money that they chose not to declare to the member Clubs, that they would lose when they tied everything into the vote in April. Thereafter, when Rangers raised this point , they denied it and even rubbished it. But bar that , yeah it’s just 300k per year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They negotiated a reduced figure on the TV deal already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
