I’m not posh enough to subscribe to the financial times
First article viewed every day on there is free
Doesn't look like it. I definitely haven't read the Financial Times yet today and I can't view it without a subscription.
They’re not heathen enough for their first FT article of the day to wait until 7.30am
I don’t want this to be the one I waste my free article on
first thing he does when he wakes up is check the nasducks and the footsies.
I can second that.
at least explain a bit the article if you're going to open a thread about it
sorry.
according to the financial times, a newspaper in the uk that is pink but not feminine, bt sports is up for sale. they hope to find a buyer.
I work for BT and get BT Sport for free. For that reason alone, I hope it doesn't happen.
But it was the 'brainchild' of Gavin Williamson, who was pushed out of the door a couple of years ago, and shares have nosedived ever since it was brought in, so it's not surprising that they're looking to get rid of it.

Great, back to sky having a monopoly and not showing as many games as they should.
Hope Amazon buy the rights to the games they show.
Also hope whoever buys them gets LaLiga back on there.

I get it cheap with BT internet although I imagine that might go, won't be a bad thing as I'm stuck on the package cos the internet makes the BT Sports so cheap! (Fiver a month compared to about 35 I think) and then internet is awful.
Dazn are apparently the favourites and have been making a play at a lot of sports, they have matchroom boxing done apparently so I'd say they would be more competitive for Sky, especially if the price is afforadable.
Bring back Setanta Sports
It’a not on Sky to choose how many games are sold for UK TV rights.
Refresh the page, then press quickly escape.
Whoever promises to fire Jenas gets my vote.
Bring back NTL
Was much better when everything was on Sky and you didn’t need multiple subscriptions. Will be interesting to see whether they bid for CL rights again.
Hopefully this means we’ll get rid of Darren Fletcher, Jenas, Mcmanamanananan etc. Just awful pundits.
So long as the rights are not sold to a streaming only service, I won't care.
Watching football on Amazon is shite.

Agreed.
I'm on either slow or average home internet and games on Amazon were so much more awkward to watch on the laptop than Sky through Now tv, or BT.
You literally can't be doing anything else at the same time, whereas Now tv/bt you can run Netflix etc on another session.
Ifollow is the only worse platform, for lower league stuff.
UCL back on itv please! The 15 mins analysis after the game was enough. Don’t need an hour to see why the left back was so influential
Will save me quite a bit if amazon buys em
Have Netflix been mentioned when bidding for football rights?
Or even fecking Amazon.
Why would you start a thread linking an article which is behind a pay wall, without copying the text? 
From the headline alone, maybe Amazon will buy them?

UFC going to Sky now Eddie Hearn has pulled the plug on the boxing..?

I’m already a prime subscriber so Amazon would be great for me, £7.99 for the football & a big video library & free next day delivery, as opposed to £40 a month for virgin just to watch the football.
Id pay a higher subscription If Redknapp and Souness get the boot as well.
Is that official? I was wondering why sky started promoting it & uploading videos on it when it’s a BT exclusive in the UK. Would make sense.
If they got the BT package it would deffo increase.
I have prime as well.
competition in this space has just caused the consumer to pay more if they want to watch everything.
Because @Niall will get in trouble.Why would you start a thread linking an article which is behind a pay wall, without copying the text?

In the past though we’ve had to pay top ridiculous prices to sky to see about a third of the games.
When they are the only provider it’s a nightmare in the UK.
No I’m just guessing but it seems like the right move to do.
Yeah I would be happy if everything was on one subscription however a lot of the time you would have games that weren’t televised. That improved when other providers took on other games to broadcast as well (as long as you had both subscriptions of course.)
I want as much football as possible. Not a set amount that sky can be arsed showing for a high monthly fee.
There's not a chance in hell Amazon would keep it as part of their £8 prime subscription if they did buy up that many games. I'd still expect it to be cheaper than BT though.
Since Sky no longer have a monopoly it's become more expensive to watch football. You have to have a Sky account, a BT account and even an Amazon account now to cover all bases unless you use rivers.
Why is it so good for fans to have multiple stations? I don't get the logic.
