From Perth to Paisley Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I see the DR are reporting negatively, shock... Although they do state the SFL clubs get a million TV rights + 2 million settlement fee which only leaves 10 million for the SPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Grimes Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I thought Neil Doncaster was there? He was. He was just there to represent the big clubs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't the SPL also get ?2m from some firm for overseas rights ? To be added on also . Think it was ?1.5m and there was some chat that that would definitely be lost. If its being reported as ?13m a year I assume that's Sky, ESPN & any other partners counted together as Sky only had ?10m of the last contract themselves. If not, its a substantial increase.

Although they do state the SFL clubs get a million TV rights + 2 million settlement fee which only leaves 10 million for the SPL. The ?2m settlement fee is unchanged and despite the propaganda had nothing to do with the agreement on TV rights. Talk of Armagedons and meltdowns have proved to be what almost all of us always saw it as - scaremongering, propaganda, barefaced lies. If Regan and Doncaster had a shred of self respect they would resign. As it is I can't understand why they have not been sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Near Post Zibby ! Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 If the split stays the same clubs will be losing ?54k on average. If the split is made even clubs GAIN ?116k on average. Celtic stand to lose over ?2m if it's split evenly. But remember who was holding idiot Doncaster's hand in the negotiations in London - Celtic's Peter Lawell. It would not surprise me in the least if the new contract again stipulates that it is dependant upon x number of Celtic games. This will strengthen Celtic's hand in any stand off where the 11 call Celtic's (and Ranger's bluff and tell them to accept a fairer split of monies or to F off to the mythical Atlantic League. The 11 need to look very carefully at what these 2 have negotiated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unless the other 11 SPL clubs are stupid, and don't rule that out by any means, they will change the voting rights and agree a better redistribution ASAP. Celtic would just have to suck it up.
