The TV deal was ridiculous.

BT is finally providing genuine competition for Sky in this country, driving up prices for Rugby Union and Football in particular but also forcing Sky to try and grab onto whatever golf, tennis and F1 it can to maintain the amount of live sport it carries for its increasing subscription. Ideal chance to play companies off on each other. Instead we commit to a multi-year deal for what was a pittance at the time and by the time the deal gets to its final year will look even worse.

Completely agree, I just don't get it anymore, the way the press/tv hypes up games , man utd vs Chelsea, expecting a thriller. often ends in a 0-0 bore draw, won me some cash though, that's all its good for these days, a bit of gamble. And watching the city fans after after the game Tuesday was just embarrassing , city of culture 2017!!!! Euros this summer I have completely no interest in, same as the England players. Last England game I watched was wc in south Africa, a complete joke of overpaid, overrated asssholes. Give me a amateur RL game any day over that shiitte

agree.
