Unless and until anyone is in a position to buy meaningful football rights Sky’s position in the market is safe. Again, I’ll take the opportunity to point out that Sky correctly predicted the fall in the rights this time out, despite a lot of noise (and ultimately no action) from streamers/social media companies in the first round of bidding.
Agree that the football rights is the big thing to watch out for, but as to your first paragraph, when did Sky last publish their tv subscribers...? So, I disagree about the dent comment.

Here's a Guardian article from a year ago on this:
