Or you bin SKY and say to BT or prime what singular games do you want and how much are you prepared to pay? After that GF Saints and Wigan is a product worldwide! I would break ties with SKY and ask the games supporters to do the same. Dont forget folks Elstone is costing 500K a year and Rimmer will be on about the same! That is a Million Pounds on two admin guys, because those two are not captains of industry a blind man can see that, the whole game needs realignment and refocus and quickly. No big payouts just close one body down and then strip down the other.
