Sky lose football court case

It'll only take some rich European company with stacks of cash to take a shine to this & use it to advertise their company. The Etihad Premier League anyone?

 

Was my next point, if you throw enough money at something it usually happens.

Going to take a lot of people agreeing on this to pull it off and that's one thing they don't do well in football.

 

UEFA dictate they don't ask and I think most of the big teams will be jumping at the chance of the extra money. As Sky have the majority of football in the top countries they will probably turn out the lucky bridesmaid anyway, with only Canal+ the only obvious contender.

Would we jump if Celtic didn't follow?

F#*k Celtic let them find their own level.

I agree, but I think we'd be hard pushed to find another rivalry as intense as the old Firm.

Who are the big German companies? RTE is it?

Sky almost completely own the TV rights for the top two Bundesliga divisions.

What Zappa said. Sky also have Italy. France and Spain have Canal + so it would most likely be a battle between these two unless a big Yank comes in to steal it
