Pretty simple. Sky has lots of viewers who watch Scottish Football on their channels. Scottish football doesn't cost them very much for the number of viewers it gets. (costs about 2% of what the premiership costs, but gets WAY more than 2% of the viewers). Scottish games get about 200k viewers, compared to 1M viewers for premiership matches. Unless Sky wants to throw away one of it's better watched and cheapest sports, they will have to stick with SPL.

And fill the gaps with what? Rugby? Conference? Scottish Football viewing figures on Sky are decent. They need to fill their sports channels, and scottish football, shite as it might be, gets decent viewing figures. Quite a bit of detail on Sky viewing figures for scottish football here. http://www.kilmarnockfc.co.uk/staticFiles/71/72/0,,10291~160369,00.pdf

More importantly, if they want to sell the assets to a Newco for £11.2M as suggested they would do for Bill Miller, would they not have to show that selling assets to Newco for £11.2M would give a better return than liquidating the assets (i.e. sell Ibrox for building houses on). Find it very hard to believe that the land Ibrox and Murray park is on is not worth more than £11.2M.

We can but hope. To be honest, I doubt HMFC would be any different if it wasn't for the fact Vlad's a bit mental. Sad indictment of most scottish chairman that they'd rather feed off the scraps of the OF than risk it all in the hope of acheiving something better - e.g. a competitive league with teams bringing through youngsters.
