Every time someone writes 'should of' or 'would of' an English teacher dies...😥

Really - should of, would of, should of.
No. It's all the Americanisms that have snuck in. We've gotten complacent and I'm really pissed.

Yes it's a pet hate of mine as well.

The money is going to the clubs and not Sky/BT but this is a PR disaster for them. Everyone thinks they are lining their pockets (which they do enough of) when they're not. Once you have crept in to the world of IPTVs and realise what you can get for much cheaper then a lot of people will be gone for good. This will permanently damage both of them. As for the PL all they had to do was make it £4.99 a game and then no one would have batted an eye lid.

Some of their logic appears to be that the Football League charges £10 a game and we're better than them so £15 sounds about right.

As a journalist for the Athletic has wrote, 'this is what happens when you get 20 millionaires in a room...'.

Ha, yeah, never thought of it like that. If I supported a lower league team I personally would tell Sky/BT to 'get in the f**king sea'.

Sky are just going to drive everyone to IPTV.
I think it’s business suicide.

Its got nothing to do with SKY/BT........This is all down to the Premier League clubs, they chose this option, they chose the price and our club voted for it

From what I can gather, the providers are covering their own costs and all the profits are going to the clubs.

Apparently Leicester were the only PL club that voted against the £15

Honestly - it is easy to vote against when you already know the result. Win PR

Do we know if they thought it should be less, or more?
