[QUOTE="jimbo, post: 32303, member: 175309"] I think Sky have set up a two-tier system to cover their outlay Waverider. Obviously need to recoup some of their not to little investment. Clubs (like Leeds) get into difficulties through mis-management of their finances. Borrowing huge sums at high cost to try to win something. That's a gamble that hasn't paid off and I don't see how Sky has affected that. Leeds have had to pay out copious amounts to compensate managers they have sacked. FFS give me a job Leeds :) Look at Charlton...small club but achieving reasonable status and not committing large amounts to do it. Overall I suppose the full Sky sub (with extra football) works out at about £10 per week. Leaving aside all the dross and even the films, a live match costs about £1. Seems fair. When you go out for a meal you're charged £10 or so for what's loosely called wine and people don't bat an eye over it. I agree with you about MOTD....good prog but the beeb tend to sqeeze it in whereas Sky has dedicated resource and it seems more relaxed. [/QUOTE]
