Agreed, something I talked about last week.

I guess the only issue for Premier Sports buying it is that if it's losing money, why would they want to buy it again, even if they could get it for a knock-down price? Why not invest the £30m they got from Viaplay in something that they will get a return on?

The argument against this is that they know the business well and might be in a good position to negotiate rights costs down as there will be little competition for them.
