Because you are aiming your questions and frustrations squarely at MB. From what I can gather I think MB just knows people at VM, and they let him know what is potentially going to happen.

I seriously doubt the VM big wigs are e-mailing sensitive commercial information to a few select people, as you seem to be suggesting.

The DNPs will also be important because his sources could be one of a handful of people in the know, and if the info is leaked, it could possibly be tracked to that person.

Personally, I do not care what the arrangement is between VM and MB (and equally throne) I am grateful for the info MB and the one share with us - even if it is just DNPs.

However, whether or not they should participate in Premier League bidding, that is a different matter. Sports rights have got totally out of hand.
Pretty sure VM have a lot more content than a number of their rivals. The gap will widen against Sky, but that has always been the case, and always will be. VM simply don't have the money to challenge them.
