Thats easier said than done , took me 3 months , eventually had to tell bank to stop payment.Quote:

It would appear so. I wonder if it is last minute and they'll need to do some programme switching within the network.Quote:

When La Liga went to Eleven Sport it effectively allowed Sky to see how much it was really worth. Bottom line was that Sky subscriber base was not effected by not having La Liga, so whilst it is a nice addition to offer customers, from a commercial standpoint it is not worth bidding big money for. Sky pretty much already knew that this was the case and also knew that Elevens business model was "back of a fag packet" stuff.
The problem La Liga has now is that it is massively devalued in the UK/ Ireland and will never see another serious bidding war between Sky and rival company such as BT or Amazon. Meanwhile the league loses the decent exposure it had through Sky, which upsets advertisers, sponsors ect.
Sky played a blinder and hold all the cards here. Fans lose out, but what's new.
I packed in sky when they lost la liga. It is only the UK where the rights haven't been picked up which is odd considering it is vastly superior to the epl. Hopefully itv can get more live games.Quote:

The results from the Champions League and the Europa suggest otherwise.Quote:

If we look at one season in isolation maybe and ignore the coefficient and the past 20 years. As someone who watches both the exact same could be said of epl. I know Real Betis, Villarreal, Eibar, Espanyol are no worse than Norwich, Brighton, Burnley and Everton.Quote:

Spanish clubs have completely dominated both those tournaments for the last 15 years. As for your other point, thats just not true, not even close.Quote:
