chrismada9 1,948 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) "Shitanta" is on brink of collapse Setanta faces administration "within days" unless backers provide more funds to pay £30m it owes to the English Premier League, reports suggest. The broadcaster has already failed to pay the Scottish Premier League £3m it owes in television rights money. Setanta, which also shows cricket, golf and rugby union, has about 1.2 million subscribers, but is losing up to £100m a year, analysts say. Deloitte is set to step in to run the firm if it goes into administration. --------------------------------------------------------------- http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8090633.stm --------------------------------------------------------------- HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Shame on them! I'll kindly have the England matches back on ITV please Edited June 9, 2009 by CJ Revo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Good, all the crap about Sky not being allowed all the fixtures to make it "fair" for viewers and then Setanta gets them and it's ANOTHER subscription. Thankfully i never got Setanta, bloody pain for some England games, especially as i thought all qualifiers had to be shown on terestial TV....

Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 ESPN are interested in buying up the SPL rights apparently if things go tits up. Setantas quality of covering matches is pathetic. I watched Rangers v Hamilton earlier in the season and it was lashing down. The cameras were steaming up and there was water all over the lens. Not once did the camera man attempt to clean it. It was terrible. Resembled driving in a rain storm with no window wipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The camera angles themselves were crap!During Arsenal Chelsea seemed every time they could 'ooo lets look at the pitch!!' or the Sky anywhere but the actual game That and premiership coverage wise...it was the Man U channel!

chrismada9 1,948 Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 BskyB rejects 'Shitanta' rescue deal BSkyB refused a £50m lifeline to Irish pay-TV broadcaster Setanta - which is facing administration - it has emerged. Setanta had offered access to its live rights for 46 English Premier League games next season as an add-on option to Sky Sports, in return for the cash. On Tuesday night, Setanta held an emergency board meeting to discuss efforts to stave off administration. There are conflicting reports from sources close to the company over the firm's future should it collapse. ---------------------------------------------------------- http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8092595.stm ---------------------------------------------------------- HAHAHA it gets better!!

changingman2000 35 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Going to very bad news for the Scottish Clubs. My Local club, Motherwell are in the shit, as are Kilmarnock apparently. Despite winning the title, Rangers will be praying they do well in the group stage of the Champions League or they can also be in trouble.
