    Pretty stunned that ESPN Europe didn't have a winning bid, they were very clear a few years ago that they intended to have at least one package of games each season and eventually wanted to bid for the top packages.

    I suspect they could have paid whatever BT paid but obviously miscalculated what bid would be needed under the closed bid system.

    When are the International Broadcasters Saturday 3PM rights announced?

    Does anyone know why the court case that the Portsmouth landlady won did not affect the price? If she has the right to show the matches live and for free by using signals from other EU states, then surely many other pubs would do the same . . . I was expecting this to reduce the price for UK rights.

    The UK ruling must have been overturned by Europe.
    Sky had been due to go to the market three months earlier but were delayed by the European red tape surrounding the Portsmouth landlady case, involving pub football screening via a Greek TV decoder.
