It seems Kelvin McKenzie wants to start his new venture with some cheapish football rights as i cannot see many people bidding for the early rounds of the Johnsons Paint Trophy !  or indeed a couple of pakages of "football league" rights.
Be interesting to see how the spat between him and his 39% stakeholder in Sky former boss goes.  |
Good luck to Kelvin Mackenzie on this but I think the most likely result of his Ofcom complaint is that we will get some Football league matches on ESPN just like we do with the Premier and Scottish Leagues.
