The same arguments are wearing thinner and thinner.
I would have thought that VM just don't have the money to invest in purchasing the rights to show the sports direct at auction when up against the might of Murdochs deeper pockets due to having a larger share of the media market by dint of being first onto the scene..
They simply get outbid so maybe they just can't be bothered and so seek other products to sell to existing and future customers which they can cover cost ways..
