Sky may not be behind it for long, ESPN have recently come out and said they intend to get the rights off SKY, but Skys TV deal still runs until next year.
I see a ESPN package on the way and further increase in package prices.
Look at the size of some of the stadiums in this country, Arsenal, Man United, soon Liverpools, Newcastles ground holds a few aswell. Can they really make that much money going to another country, is it worth going for the sake of making a million quid or something? A million to the likes of you and i is a life changer, but to clubs its like spare change in the pocket. So if they are going to make say £5million for example for 1 game, the only person who is gonna be paying for that is the devoted hard working fan.
