As from next season La Liga will no longer exist as Sky would not cough up the extra money to buy it. By all accounts the Spanish were not looking for a ridiculous fee but felt Sky were underpaying them for the viewing figures they were getting. My remark about La Liga not existing is because if Sky do not cover it they have a tendency to ignore it.
I was very disappointed last week to find out BT sports have lost Serie A to the same company who bought the rights to La Liga ( another reason to continue my hatred that has lasted from the seventies of dirty Leeds as their whinny " Wolves are cheating " Chairman owns the company ! )
Of course having lost these assets there will be no price drop from either firm. To me it is becoming like going to say Tesco or Morrisons buying 5 doughnuts then the assistant takes them off you takes one out then gives you back the doughnuts with no money off for it not being what you originally paid for ! Satellite and cable companies are what it must be like to be a smoker you know it does you no good but it is really hard to give up yet if you manage to break the habit it must be really satisfying !
