Interesting. Some how though I can`t see how they can stop it. At the end of the day if a broadcaster wants to pay silly money for football rights then surely they have the right to do so. They must also have a rough idea just how much fans are prepared to pay in subs to watch it too.
What gets me wondering though is why Virgin media are sticking their noses in. My thoughts are that when the current deal with BT Sport to bundle in their channels in the xl package ends they know or fear BT will want to be stand alone channels like Sky Sports. As we all know BT will have so much more to offer from next season.
