[QUOTE="Salty25, post: 193416, member: 185281"] I've just looked at the numbers (money in - money out), and frankly I struggle to see how this can possibly add up for Setanta. How many people will actually pay £14 a month to see at very best Liverpool vs Everton/Man U vs Man City, but mostly West Ham vs Reading/Bolton vs Middlesbrough, and four Old Firm derbies a season as an extra? Unless Setanta offer a PremPlus style £50 a year offer, this will not work out for anyone but present SPL/NASN subbers. I think the technical term for what the FA Premier League have pulled off in this rights deal is 'a blinder' O-Ha. Who knows, as I've said before, maybe this is all just a (what they though are) clever tactic on the part of Setanta investors and owners to tempt Sky to buy them out, but even then, are Sky gonna be interest/worried about 60 SPL game, 46 inferior Premiership games, Irish League and Cup football, Celtic League rugby, Gaelic sports, and Major League Baseball, inferior NFL games, and unattractive NHL rights??? Don't think so. [/QUOTE]
