Being experienced in managing major bids using this process I really think that there could be a shock.

Lets say BeIN sports or Google or whoever win a tv package, you then have TV games on Sky, BeIN, BT Sport and thus 3 different providers; this means that you likely have to pay 3 different subscriptions to see all the games, meaning it costs you more.
Sky may be shite, but Ive baulked at paying £12.99 a month for BT Sport these past couple of years, just to listen to oxygen thiefs like Owen and Des Kelly; similarly I wont be subscribing to any more than one provider with this new deal. The Pub, Lady Joan of Rivers and (hopefully) being at the game.

If BT were to win they might look to Chelski and ourselves as the top clubs to cosy up to in the same way it was the scum and scouse for Sky - losing their Sky promotion would be a big blow to the scum and might hasten their decline.
What I really would like to see is the Sheik buy-in to a broadcasting company and then win the rights - but I guess that would cause conflicts with him owning us - Sky had to sell their 10% ownership of the scum is memory serves me right.

It would be much better with one provider, but I fear you will be correct & we'll end up with more still than now.
If Sky lost the football, I bet a fair percentage of people would fuck it off altogether.

Good on them, I hope it happens for them
On another note looking at last years figures how have Liverpool earned more TV money than us, they were not in europe and nor did they get to a cup final?

Sky looks after its own.
