And you think a corporation like Sky will just roll over and accept the costs themselves? Wake up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariotofmyown Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 It's like the trouble in Syria. Both sides are the bad guys, then the football authorities make noises about sorting it out without any recognition that they are more than complicit for the whole stinking mess. Maybe we should bomb Leeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I bet they are going frantic down in Isleworth, there's 3 other games tonight so they must be drawing up contingency plans, on the blower to Holloway telling him to turn round and head for Brighton I suppose, although they might send a load of gear to Fulham and show that, who knows. I hope the Football League throw the book at Leeds for this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 If I were Sky I would run a radio feed of the match over a still photo of Cellino in a green dress. But not a real green dress that's cruel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this ban goes ahead, as the song says................ "There will be trouble ahead" True enough Given the FL's track record in dealing with issues we can expect to hear about the consequences some time in 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Good on him. Taking a stand against the poison of the modern game. I am more than happy to listen to it rather than watching it live if it means he has won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Ram Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 And what's making me even more angry is the fans who have tickets taking the same stupid high ground and starting the 'proper fans actually go to games' thing again. Bore off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've probably signed up to Sky Sports to watch Derby so a complaint to Sky wouldn't go amiss. They are after all one of the top 3 companies who wilt at the slightest hint of customer dissatisfaction. Reckon you can claim a free month for this.

I hope the Football League throw the book at Leeds for this though. They will - FFP has struggled because it is open to legal challenge and the Premier League don't support the Championship version. Shutting Sky out is a clear breach of contract, so is easier to apply sanctions. Championship clubs get about £100,000 per televised game which isn't very significant. However, they also get c£5m a season in 'solidarity payments', which is part of the TV deal - take that away and many clubs would be facing administration. The Premier League is completely beholden to Sky, so will happily support any sanctions designed to bring 'rebel' clubs back on board. Quite simply, the Football League can't afford not to come down hard on Leeds. They probably don't need to go for a bog fine - Sky's damages claim will sort that out, but I'd imagine that they will impose a transfer embargo and significant points deduction. Cellino will also be banned for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if that was miss interpreted no I wasn't going to watch it, I don't think I will even be able to listen to it as I have an appointment at exactly kick off time, hoping to listen to the second half in the car.

MK Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Used to work for Sky (as a runner, nothing special) and it would take around 3hrs to set up for a match. Assuming that's still the case we don't have too long for a decision to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
