Konrad von Carstein Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 With Murdoch's empire seemingly under seige due the the NoTW scandal and losing advertisers at a rate of knots... Renault have piulled all advertising with NI - and other advertisers are considering their options - NI's share value has dipped dramatically Is there any possibility of a knock on to SKY's financial influence on the Premiership? - thoughts....

Boris Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 NI don't own Sky, hence the reason to ditch the NotW. I think NI own about 35%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad von Carstein Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 Once again I prove evidence of my worst poster ever credentials I got confused with the stuff about Murdoch wanting to buy SKY outright - added to my total lack of knowledge on the subject Probably correct to say that I wish it would have an effect!

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Sky's share price is plummeting on the back of speculation that The Digger won't be able to complete the takeover. However, Sky remains profitable. The next domestic rights deal won't exceed this one but the Premier League rode the first wave of the recession due to its international reach and I think that will allow the Premier League to escape unscathed.

milky_26 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 NI don't own Sky, hence the reason to ditch the NotW. I think NI own about 35%. 39%, but it would be good to reduce the money in the EPL as it has gotten too big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
