However not at any cost.


Yet nobody else bids, despite sitting on piles and piles of cash. Proving they dont think it's a valuable use of £5bn.



Well yes, you do. It's the common thread around almost every single post you make.

Economics 101 tells you everyone is out there to make a profit. And at some point the market reaches an equilibrium. People are no longer willing to pay any more.

Either after 19 years Sky haven't found the equilibrium or streamers can package their services to additional customers that Sky cannot - which is impossible as anyone outside the Sky footprint - DTH, cable or via Now TV would be unable to access a rival streaming service



Uncertainties over the value of the rights, Old Boy. Try to read it with an open mind. I've already posted the hundreds of billions that streamers and social media companies are sitting on. Yet something puts them (and the accountants at the EPL) off and it's not access to capital.
By your reckoning, Sky couldn’t be making a profit, which is demonstrably untrue. The delay in the streamers jumping on board has nothing to do with the money, anyway.

Even when presented with the facts that render your arguments incorrect (ie what the Premier League actually stated) you still carry on. You are cynical about absolutely everything and this leads to you coming to preposterous conclusions.

I’ll leave you to it.
