yes I understand - I`m just trying to - clumsily - delineate between an open market for these fixtures and a market that has already been set by a contract
The material I have read says the payments are for the costs incurred only, which shouldn't result in one penny being paid as the clubs need to have tv gantry anyway If this breach of contract is real, I don't believe it is, then Celtic or Rangers could not finish in 7th place as it would mean only 3 OF games Its more realistic that ESPN did not find it to be value for money, but Doncaster etc wanted it so actually paid ESPN to show it Without fear or favour I think that's dodgy as ****
You saying the SPL should have just paid the compensation due to the TV companies (no clue how much that would have been, but there certainly would have been some) for breaking the contract and auctioned the games off to the highest bidder and accept the what that was, bearing in mind the other bidders would know that they would still have the SPL by the balls and offer even less?
I would imagine there would have been a clause in the contract in the "unlikely" event of either Rangers or Celtic being in the bottom 6, surely the TV companies knew there was a split?
And **** the pair of you for roping me into this not606 type argument (which I am easily winning may I add)
no - I`m saying that they pretty much needed to do what they did and often this seems to get looked at as if there was no contract already in place which needed to be fulfilled by the spl - but there was ; but I take on board mindys point that if that was the contract it was insane in that it really isnt possible to offer those kind of contractual guarantees in sport.
Youre not winning because we have made you do something that you didnt want to so we are the boss of you, na na nana na
A simple clause in the contract blows Mindy's point out the water, lets face it, any man and their dog would be expecting Rangers and Celtic to be in the top 6.
True , but they surely would have been legally covered for some unexpected eventuality - a munich air disaster for example ? Anyway , I`m off to bed , been watching my eldest bring shame on the family name by playing rugby this evening and needed a few stiff drinks and a rant on not606 to get over the psychic pain of a spawning dysfunctional rugby loving monster. Lennon must go !
Scotland has a ****e tv deal, tell me something I don't know. The bigger scandal is how much these bastards are paying for it compared to other leagues.
Now to go with imagined Old Firm guarantees we have imagined clauses From what I've read a payment is being made for something that shouldn't happen because of the rules in place Its dodgy
Yes, i'm sure SKY had the foresight to include a clause which meant they could walk away if one of the OF was liquidated. AND...There are fairies at the bottom of my garden.
Well, they should be sacking their ****ing lawyers if they didn't have a clause in it, not so much the liquidation part, but if somehow one of them weren't in the top 6(Which would amount to the same). **** me, are you just trying to act the ****, or are the fairies at the bottom of your garden telling you to be?
In fact name any business that has a contract with another business, where business A says that they will guarantee business B with a certain product and business B doesn't say, well what happens if you can't provide said product?? I honestly thought you were half smart Dev, but by **** that is the most ridiculous thing I have heard in a long long time, that goes for you too Mindy. You been smoking tonight Dev?
Come on boys, which one of you will be the first to say, "aye how about the businesses that didnae get paid by the the the Rangers"
