Chicken feed. Why do they bother?

If free to market it's own games, Rangers could probably negotiate a similar deal by itself.

It’s such a pathetic proposition that it must be true.

Aye well Mmmmmm it looks like less money than the old deal

Those who delight in Scottish diddy clubs performing in Europe at a level somewhere below the League of Ireland shouldn't moan too much about a cráp TV deal.

It’s almost chicken and egg though.

These teams need more investment to improve. With a pathetic TV deal like this it won’t happen. Do we even know how the SPFL gauge this as a competitive bid? Have they done any DD with other potential suppliers? We will never know. But you can bet your bottom dollar a former Celtic chief exec is still pulling strings somewhere.

 

And they drag us down with them.

I get what you say. I was just referring to a somewhat contradictory position.

 

The tinpot nature of our league is what it is. The often childlike hating each other to death undermines potential avenues of progress within the SPFL, it's voting process and executive Mgmt and that is before you get to fans and  message boards !!

 

The SFA and how the game is refereed is another angle that is stuck in a time warp.

 

Desire for and/or reveling in the failure of others is a football fan thing but on the same message boards (all teams) there will be threads on improving finance, the co-efficient, etc.

 

You can only do so much by yourself.

 

 

Ps. I have always thought that as fans, if you want to really annoy another club. Then either encourage or ignore them regardless if hate comes the other way.

 

One set of fans would just end up looking like Jeremy Hunts instead of two sets.

I doubt if Rangers fans chuckling away on messageboards had much impact on Dundee United's performance last night.

 

I doubt it has much impact on the TV deal either. 

 

I'm quite content enjoying other Scottish clubs getting humiliated in Europe.

Is there an example of a similar league that gets more money per game?
