Say Virgin got to keep ESPN but didn't get BT Sport. Great! we've got sport!!!! lovely sport. fantastic. now, when's the match kicking off!? oh, right.
99.999% of people left unable to watch the Premier League, England is a football country and we want our football, so therefore acquiring ESPN would be a waste of time and money on its own and would provide zero consolation for not getting BT Sport.

Any "proper" football fan won't give a damn about BT Sports as with their early Saturday KO times they'll be on the way to watch their team in action. There are games played the length and breadth of England every Saturday that don't appear on any TV channel!
