Manchester United debt hits £716m

To be fair to Sky/Fox, they have absolutely no history of removing financial support for any sport in any country of which I am aware. They seem to have a very good record of increasing payments and working with sports to increase popularity (in both parties' interest of course).
Many of their competitors have a history of promising a lot and then rather unfortunately going bust.0 -

That's true to an extent - Sky made the EPL and the EPL made Sky through Sky Sports.
The last deal was £1.1bn, I don't see much scope for Sky to increase that in the next deal. The crazy wages being paid to very average players on the back of huge TV money is a huge issue for lots of premiership clubs.
The debt levels in the EPL are frankly astonishing and until clubs start actually paying wages on current income rather than TV money they're expecting in the future they are just making the eventual problem worse.0 -

This is more likely to effect the smaller clubs as teams like United would be able to negotiate a better deal or distribute the live coverage themselves, although the pirated live streaming on the internet doesn't help them in this.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

What a hoot.
The fortunes of ManU are tied to a family who are mired in the very worst of the US commercial property disaster

Running a football club on the basis that you will finish in the top 4 every year is madness. There is no doubt that at sometime in the future that all of the current top 4 will fall out of the top 4 at sometime.0

Yes but no live premiership, at the moment.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.
