Ric Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) 18 minutes ago, Well Well said: The sooner you lot are relegated the better. They have been. What successful businesswoman Ann Budge is doing now is trying to manipulate the league structure for a short enough period so it allows them back into the top division but not so long as to dilute any payments to her club once that goal has been achieved. Me? I've always favoured a larger league, but then I refuse to countenance one purely on the basis of benefiting one club while negatively affecting many others.

Trying for a second time after being humiliated the first time I must add. She's got some brass neck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I work for a local authority who have a no redundancy policy. What this means is if you have someone fucking useless you basically have to invent jobs and projects that will never go anywhere to keep the most useless managers busy and away from core business. Anyway I wish Anne well with this. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of Sky giving £350k per match, for every match that weekend, we should all plump for some fat middle aged Glaswegian paying £20 every weekend to watch one match, and only if it's a different time as Celtics games. Scottish football will surely flourish.

If Scottish football hadnt decided to "feck Sky" and follow the bright lights of Setanta, then we'd be better off. It's a lovely idea from a fan of club who's turnover, without Sky money, will still be well over £15m. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky has left Scottish football behind you know it and so do I, all they care about is the EPL and a game of rounders. This isn't about Celtic this is about Scottish football,I can have a pop at your club selling 3 stands but tit of tat gets us nowhere. Clubs need fans through the gates to survive it's very simple. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know about the ins and outs of Sky and Scottish football and how they purposely offered us very low deals, even before the setanta debacle? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, the Setanta deal set Scottish clubs back for years. Giving exclusive rights to a nothing company offering huge amounts should've been a huge red flag, and after that collapse theres now almost no threat to Sky/BT when bidding for Scottish rights as theyll know Scottish clubs will be wary of going for anything new now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 The "we don't get a good deal because we chose Setanta one time" is a daft argument. The reason we don't get a good deal is that Sky don't rate our product and think they can low ball us, and our league is funded in such a way we are reliant on a deal being made so Doncaster (or whoever) has limited bargaining power. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont get a good deal because Sky/BT have had zero competition since the Setanta collapse, if a new company comes along with more money Sky/BT would just scoff and wish us luck, while referencing Setanta. They can offer what they want, because Scottish football has no bargaining position anymore. How you get past that I dont know, but if we had stuck with Sky instead of Setanta clubs wouldnt have gotten so fucked financially. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
