Neil Doncaster has confirmed that the Sky TV deal does NOT depend on four Celtic v Rangers games per season. Another comfort blanket goes in the box marked "Charity".
Timmy's desperate attempt to convince themselves they won't be negatively affected by our demise continues.
I said so a few weeks back I've been reading a lot of ill informed pish about SKY having a guarantee that there will be 4 OF games a season and if Rangers get relegated (or similar) then SKY can cancel the deal and everyone will lose. Has anyone at SKY said as much? The only Guarantee SKY asked for is "Exclusive" coverage of 4 OF games a season, it does not necessarily follow that SKY had it written into the contract that Celtic and Rangers must be in the SPL for the contract to be honoured. More scaremongering for the masses (sic) I suspect unless anyone has heard otherwise? http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/125479-SKY-SPL-Contract
Taig gets excited over nothing shocker Deal finishes at the end of this season. Do you think Sky and ESPN are going to continue giving as much money for a league minus one of the main attractions?
Celtic Rangers and Aberdeen had plans to make their own tv channel that would yield more than sky offered last time I hope sky **** off
Attractions The only thing you lot are attracting is derision and it's damaging Scottish football. Now **** off and die with some dignity (Rangers FC, not you!)
I feel so loved As much as you hate to admit it, Rangers are one of the only 2 attractions in Scottish football. Don't know whether to laugh or cry about that.
I'm assuming that the SPL will hold back until after the split before hitting Rangers with a 40-50 point deduction for their cheating this season. That guarantees them their fourth and final ever Glasgow derby between Celtic and Rangers. That is exactly what I would do.
It is already a matter of record that Rangers have cheated this season. What is it you are waiting for?
