Sky are responsible for pushing up the cost of obtaining football rights in the first place, so I have no sympathy with Sky on that matter. They have overplayed their hand and very soon, they will have nowhere to go. What goes around comes around.

I really think that they will be thinking about collaboration with other companies now. It's the only thing that stacks up and this is what will lead to lower prices in the future.
