Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Does anyone know when the rights will be available to tender?
It was February 2015 with the last rights auction

You seem to talk about Sky like they are some small tin pot operation , if Murdoch completes the takeover of Sky they will have significant buying power.

Clearly, Sky is a force to be reckoned with, and I would not seek to belittle their status or achievements.
Although Sky operates in more than one country, you can hardly describe them (at least at this stage) as a global player.
Netflix and Amazon have much deeper pockets than Sky and are capable of bidding higher, if they chose to do so.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
But Sporting rights are sold on a region by region basis not globally. If Netflix move into sport it will start by dipping it's toes in the water in it's home country first just as Amazon has done

You don't need to be a global player to have big pockets.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Europa League Qualifying starts in the coming week - it looks as if Premier Sport will have Rangers matches.
BT Sport rights do not cover qualifiying.

Are we to conclude from that observation that you have evidence that Sky's pockets are at least as great as Netflix and Amazon?
If so, please tell, because all the evidence I have seen is to the contrary.

The evidence is right in front of you if you take your rose tinted glasses off you OB.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
If Sky go ahead with the plans they announced to provide TV over the internet to areas which can't get satellite dishes that will put them even further ahead

Comes into play next year
Sky seem to shift the business model away from sports rights nowadays

This is very true. Could be a game changer for them.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Interesting few days ahead for UKTV sports rights
Firstly the results of the ECB tender will be out this week, tomorrow is the deadline for bids. Results could be out the same day or by the end of the week if there is a second round.
Secondly the deadline for the EFL to go out to tender passed last week. Not sure if that was for invitations to tender or actual submissions.
In any case the next week is a massive one for SKY and BT or maybe someone else??
