The Master Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 So the tv money stays almost the exact same then, wonder how the succulents will spin that . There will be a slight decrease in what the SPL clubs see, because the SPL had to buy the SFL's TV rights. But I suspect they will have been the only serious bidder, because Sky and ESPN knew that they'd end up with the matches anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away and don't talk crap, plenty of wonga for Newco going through the divisions, apart from the games against Celtic the TV audiences will be comparable with Oldco in the SPL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagsman411971 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 It had better be considerably more than their settlement or plenty of innovative changes to structure, voting etc. Well according to yesterdays "Daily Retard", its this; "THE SPL and SFL were last night close to agreeing a £1.2million deal with Sky for the rights to show 45 Rangers matches over the next three seasons. An announcement on the deal – believed to work out at an average of £27,000 a game – is expected within the next 48 hours." So, if the money is shared out equally between all SFL clubs, we all get a massive £13,333 a season. Someone should tell the fucking idiots who run our game, that they are supposed to SELL Scottish football, not just give it away. ps I wonder if that deal would include showing some SFL football that does not involve Sevco? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky and ESPN knew that they would get Sevco's matches if the SPL won the rights. So why would they bother bidding and go to the hassle of renegotiating the SPL contract? It's win-win for them -- let someone else do the donkey-work and sit back while knowing you've got them over a barrel. Who else would bid? BBC Alba on its budget of two buttons and a hairpin? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Leighton Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Are ESPN even likely to stay in the British market once they lose the Premiership rights in 2013? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macshimmy Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) Excuse me, but Team GB represent at least 2 willing parts of the United Kingdom and those of us down here in England (and I presume Wales) are willing to support them as we recognise that they represent us. They do not represent any of the bigoted bile that your average ORC spouts or believes in and for making that assumption I have given you a nice big red one. If you and your fellow Scottish fans are happy to go along with the stance that all those clever logical and morally superior administrators at the SFA have decided for you then that's fine, after all these people are beyond reproach and have shown themselves to be so over a long period of time and clearly have their finger on the pulse of Scottish football and the wishes of its fans, but don't try and politicise what is effectively now a joint English and Welsh side for your own ends. Aye. Get to f**k. Its presumption like that that makes Team GB such a vile and stupid construct. Here's some reaction from Twitter showing the harmony Team GB have brought to the "nation". @ManicMummyat40 Ryan Giggs should be ashamed of himself – sing the National Anthem! #englishandproud #olympics2012 @djmickbrown great to see giggs and bellamy not singing our national anthem..tossers..if they dont want to b part of it properly then please go home. @richardgorman1 Giggs captain? Sing the nation anthem you welsh sheep shagging no mark @ItsCareyBear Ryan giggs not singing the english national anthem #welshcunt @BiHo1984 Shameful that Giggs and Bellamy weren't singing the anthem before #GBRvBRA.. Definitely shouldn't have invited these sheep-shaggers to play. @Alanmc87 Giggs and bellamy not singing anthem..welsh b*****ds!!! Ah 1-0 Brazil @BillyRTaylor Lol Giggs won't sing the anthem, welsh c**t @ricky_aj_hall Giggs and bellamy not singing the national anthem? Fucking die u horrible c***s!

Stagmaster Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Today marks the date of the worlds most entertaining sporting spectacle - The Rangers go tits up! Let's hope the Olympics doesn't steal the limelight! Jeez, where do you get your optimism? As much as I would like to see it, there is no way Rangers will be allowed to die. The SFA and SPL will not allow it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have been better just letting everyone shag our arse weeks ago rather than all the bluster . We're now virtually at the status quo with a shiny club debt free and SPL clubs getting it easier than ever. When offered that pittance the retort should have been "shove your cash up your arse and fcuk off, you will not be showing any SFL games". I don't even think these fcukers could work in Asda without being shown up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Buddie Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Jeez, where do you get your optimism? As much as I would like to see it, there is no way Rangers will be allowed to die. The SFA and SPL will not allow it. In the hypothetical scenario that The Green Brigade can't afford to keep throwing money at TRFC long enough to get them to the SPL, and they can't get bank credit facilities, let's assume that they accept BK's offer of £5.6 million. By some of the calculations posted here yesterday, that's still not enough to keep them in credit for 3 years. They would surely then be back in the same situation they were in earlier this year, in admin, waiting on the next batch of cavalry coming over the hill, mibbe The Cardigan Crew, who would surely have to adopt a different business model, i.e. cut the big earners but risk upsetting the Berrs by not being at all successful, they'd just have to accept survival as thebest they could get. But, if there's no cavalry, the SPL and SFA WOULD have to let them go, like Kate did with Leo in Titanic, cos there ain't such a thing as "government rescues" in sport, I'm thinking of the type of thing that used to happen with BL etc in the 70s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given his track record what is the best way to go about getting him to become a Celtic fan? Holy shit, is he half-albatross? To answer your question, point out that Celtic will probably hoover up the vast majority of the trophies over the next 4 years minimum. He's a fan of ex-Rangers so i'd imagine he'll follow the silverware. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
