MuespachRam Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 no one has mentioned how incredible it is that Sky can demand entrance and demand to show the games whenever they like... also, they have the right to change ANY kick off of ANY game at all in the league with only 48 hours notice... treating fans like idiots. good on him for making a stand and bringing it to peoples attention, unfortunately I guess he will be slagged off all over Murdochs press and the idiots who read/watch it will buy in to it.

It's THAT incredible that he and all the other clubs signed and agreed to it and have known it can be like this since the contract was signed... Hmmm. More to dislike Leeds about. Steve Evans getting his words " large, big and used to be" all mixed up again. Never mind. They are the champions of Europe after all. They will survive.

ram59 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 These foreign owners are hypocrites when refusing to allow sky in, like this. They're not life long supporters who starting supporting as a young child, so what attracts them? Surely it's the mega money and prestige on offer from sky. There were very few interested before sky came along. Would Cellino refuse the £150+ million if they got promoted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have examples where games have been moved at much shorter notice (excluding cup?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an article or something recently where someone suggest a regional blackout for games. The whole no 3pm televised matches thing is so archaic and needs to change as its possible to watch all Premier League 3pm's anyway so changing the rule wont really effect attendances.

RadioactiveWaste Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I'm sure the 48hrs thing is correct, but not often invoked as Sky like to hammer the advertising of the games for at least a week beforehand? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MusyO7J2inM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its possible but is illegal to do so, and many people would not know how to. But i agree i think it will change at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossieram Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 If Cellino has any backbone at all he will instruct his team to roll over rather than give those at sky the entertaining game they desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
