ian1964 10,479 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 THE SPL was last night on the brink of clinching a new £13million-a-season broadcast deal. But it wonâ??t be officially signed until just 24 hours before Saturdayâ??s big kick-off. Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell was in London yesterday with SPL counterpart Neil Doncaster putting the finishing touches to the contract with Sky and ESPN bosses. Talks were ongoing last night about the length of deal, with suggestions it might be five or SEVEN. Itâ??s understood Sky will show 30 matches per season and ESPN 35, with the new Rangers being shown live a minimum of 15 times in Division Three. The SFL have negotiated a £1m deal for those rights, leaving around £12m to be shared among the Premier League clubs. The proposal will now be put in front of the SPL chairmen at a meeting on Friday, where they are expected to vote it through on the same day that Charles Greenâ??s new Gers are finally handed SFA membership. http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/4463718/Our-TV-deals-in-the-bag.html 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tango 0 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 What about the 2million that the SPL pay the SFL that must come off the tv money which only leaves them 10million,but the SFL should have held out for more,1million for our games is pish,if it is split 30 ways we're not going to get much 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Amokachi 0 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 It's hard for us to return to our former glory when we get peanuts of a TV deal that is only in place because of us and we are one of only two attractions. I'm sick of this socialist attitude to sharing wealth to people who don't deserve it. Clubs should get money based on what they bring to the table, like every other f*cking country. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 It's hard for us to return to our former glory when we get peanuts of a TV deal Long term, that's probably a good thing. Forces the club to prosper while not being reliant on TV revenue. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,319 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) a) Why was Lawwell there? What has he to do with SPL business deals? b) How much do Rangers FC get from the matches shown? We are the product and we have no say whatsoever in our tv rights?* *c) If we do not gain anything from that, maybe we should ask SKY for a new sponsorship deal, front or back of jersey does not matter?!

Guest Dutchy Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I'm not really happy with with any connection to the SPL, but that's further proof to me that that this has all been a hate campaign. We don't want you in our league, but we need you to get any TV deal, so just accept what we say! Bunch of hypocritical shits really. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
