Not very good PR even for that shower. Do I trust Sky to prioritise their bottom line over the wishes of SPFL clubs? Yes. Yes I do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMCs Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Option 2 is more reasonable then 3. Then it's only 2 games per club that we need to fit in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please wait until you know that all the votes are with you before announcing the result. Probably a good idea to check their junk mail folder as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Hibernian Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I'm wondering when Stewart Milne's going to get the blame for the outcome here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's ample evidence of them being a sympathetic and collaborative broadcast partner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinky67 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 8 minutes ago, G51 said: Yeah maybe. Who knows? As someone with intimate knowledge of how Sky has operated through Covid (not broadcasting contracts however) they have been pretty consistent across all of their directorates and I would be very surprised if they tried to squeeze clubs or leagues for compensation. It would be completely different to how they have acted so far. Dont get me wrong they will be massively nervous especially if down south start to shut down football due to the impact on overall revenue, customer churn and customer sentiment but there will be strategies to try mitigate against that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel as though it’s spurred us on though. Not going to lie, I’d love to see one of the clubs who were quite vocal about it last time around suffering a similar fate, though. Would be pretty amusing in a schadenfreude sort of way. Anyway, back on topic. Your demotion was caused by the same criteria as the demotion of Hamilton last season. You were bottom of the league when it finished. Another word for it is relegation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
