Setanta latest

Not too sure about that. Sky are only allowed to have some of Setanta's games from the 2009/2010 season, and none after that. They wouldn't gain much, plus it would bring the spectre of the regulator breathing down their necks due to lack of competition.

 

This has been explained to gasman previously (along with the fact that it Sky is not a bank and to suddenly decide to go into the banking business for the purposes of granting a loan to a business as unhealthy as Setanta would be reckless, probably in breach of various regulatory statutes and potentially expose the directors of Sky to legal action by their shareholders) but he still seems to think that Sky should be financially assisting Setanta for some reason.

 

Setanta are the victim of a completely backwards business model. Supporting some of the smaller, but growing sports, was a sensible approach. It was building a loyal following but, as normal, football ruined everything.

 

the setanta avatars are very off putting

 

Donate £100 million to Setanta and we promise to take them down for at least the next 12 months :good

 

Any news?

Are they still broadcasting?

 

Still broadcasting. Online and telephone subscriptions have been shut down. Reports say that talks between directors and backers are ongoing.

 

Thanks.

Let's hope they are positive then.

 

It may be just coincidence but at home my Setanta screen has just gone black...

 

Still working here...

 

all my setanta channels working

what would happen to liverpool fc tv and arsenal tv etc. i don't watch them unless man utd have played them but curious to know what would happen to them as surely this would hit liverpool and arsenal financially.
