I can't see SKY dropping their price once the Champions League goes based on this article in the Daily Mirror:

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footba...k-bank-5109653

"Sky boss Jeremy Darroch yesterday suggested it was less reliant on the Premier League than before.

He said: “We like the Premier League. But the whole point of the business is about broadening the offer.”

That means a wider range of sports, including snatching golf’s Open Championships from the BBC, plus more of its own entertainment programmes."
yes that's why they paid over double than last time and they know if they lost premier league they lose so many customers what a liar
