the gunslinger 3,366 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 not sure they have a 5 year deal m8. they were supposed to sign a new 5 year deal but didn't. As far as I know we're in final year of existing deal. where we go from here is anyone's guess IMO. all i know is sky were advertising having Scottish football for 5 years. whether they do or not i have no idea. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,299 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 all i know is sky were advertising having Scottish football for 5 years. whether they do or not i have no idea. my abiding memory of the SKY negotiations at the start of the season was Dumbcaster & Liewell returning from the negotiations and no details ever being released. You have to ask why? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 my memory is we were told that the deal remained unaltered and because the rangers fans didnt like that they refused to believe it or blocked it out all together. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERRAB 3,299 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 no the new 5 year deal stood. No it wasn't. The new £80m 5 year deal was never signed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19070877 Barney Francis, managing director of Sky Sports, said: "We've supported Scottish football since we started, over 20 years ago, and have always wanted to continue that commitment. "Our viewers will see the SPL for five more years and our schedule includes the opening league match for Celtic. "We will also follow Rangers as they plot their way back to Scottish football's top flight. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is the big question, where is it coming from. They can't get a sponsor and SKY are no fools they won't pay the same money for no Rangers/yahoo games, so who is paying the bills. I will wait and see? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
