"never as much premier league football"
"the home to football in england with more coverage than ever"
"the greatest league in the world...gets BETTER"
or some other cheesy rubbish to stubbornly refuse to acknowledge the loss of rights and any price change. probably if theyre quizzed they'll say
"it was already cheap enough with the champions league footage which we actually didnt make people pay towards...25.99 a month is excellent value for our customers and remains so"
and we'll all continue to pay whilst forking out an extra tenner to BT sports and the cycle continues

Then stop paying it. People could easily cancel all sports when there is no PL football on. Two or three months of massively lost income for Sky would soon open their eyes!! I don't believe there will be much high class sport being shown on Sky over the summer, so why not try it?

That kind of suggests they werent prepared to pay anymore , as for what they'll do going forward who knows however as Den says I can't see a reduction in subscription costs.
What's the odds on Rupert starting a breakaway league now with bigger prize money  Just joking by the way.

The sooner they do, the better. People can then have more of a choice over what football package they pay for. This too would help bring the cost down for many people. You could SS Special league (sorry could not think of a snazzy name) and SS non-football sports (aagin apologies). Dedicated to all sports not football. I imagine a non-football sports option would be much cheaper.
