If sky do bid huge for the football rights next time its us who will pay the price by another massive hike in prices. They said bringing in other providers would be better for us. It's just meant we pay more!

Bidding will begin either later this year or early 2015

I don't think we should underestimate BT.

Aye, a price increase for Premier Sports looks on the cards now:
http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/11...-increase.html
The Sky Sports Season ticket now looks to be available customers not on a bundle. I aren't on a bundle, but received a letter today offering me the Season Ticket. It also said that the offer would end on 1 September 2014.

So from 1 September assuming no VM increase it will be:
£7.99pm Virgin Media
£9.99pm Premier Player on www.premiersports.tv
£11.99pm Sky platform sold by Premier Sports
What does Premier Sports say about VM being cheapest?
On Premier Sports' Facebook page 6 August:
Tina Lamb: Please can you tell me why Virgin subscribers only pay £7.99 a month and yet Sky subscribers pay £9.99 a month?? Surely we are both getting the same package.
Premier Sports: That is a good question and we recently asked the CEO of Virgin channels to explain this. Still to hear! But we will keep you posted.

I doubt that's a loss to Sky.

I understand the Dutch League is similar to that, but without much quality.

I have a couple of thoughts about this article
Perhaps BT have decided that the PL rights will be too expensive this time round. A chain is only as strong as it weakest links and perhaps BT have realized its best, and cheapest, chance of breaking Sky's proverbial chain is to take away lots smaller rights and de-vaule Sky's offering.
Either that or BT are trying to get Sky to pony up large sums of cash before the PL auction meaning that BT can go higher than Sky this time around.
Personally I hope BT can nab the cricket rights, not overly fussed about the football.
Like Den says though, I can't imagine Sky rolling over and losing its main rights anytime soon. It is going to be interesting to see how much money Sky can and will spend before admitting defeat in the future with either sports or BB. I can see BT being in this for a long, long time.

It's a funny old world where a company has to justify why it charges less than its competitors!
