Means he'd get overall shareholder control, yet Setanta wouldn't be bailed out? Bit of a strange move for him, unless he's planning to put more money in.

I know nothing about the guy, but it looks like he wants to keep it afloat.. Setanta needs to be back at 43 English Premier League games but Len must know he can not match Mr Murdock.
Money talks and Len will have to invest heavy to out bid Sky in the future.
Ahhh he owns 3% of Setanta already.

Today is the day they must pay money out (for Monday)
so it is a Stressed meeting going on right now.

[arista]

Setanta's League
has now been Terminated
as they failed to pay the contract.


SkyNews Live.

[arista]

Even worse News that American with the 30 million offer
has withdrawn.


So it looks as though they will now Fold
and Sky will take the deals left.

[arista]

ESPN wins rights to 46 matches
since Setanta has failed to get any money.

I thought there was only ESPN classic and ESPN America (by subscription) on Sky?

[arista]

They will change/update
in time for the new matches.


Branson said Virgin will buy the matches
from Sky or ESPN.



The UK Setanta TV
will close at 6PM today
SkyNews just reported.

Ireland Setanta carrys on
as they think a buyer will be found,
SkyNews also stated.


Direct Debit Customers need to check their site
for instructions.

Doesn't mention what happens to direct debit?

[arista]

Tom you may find it is lost , for now.
Until they put something on the site.
Being Bankrupt means customers are last in the list.

I assume you can stop paying
from your end.

but if no buyers turn up
you are Next.



From Ch4 News
they just said refunds may not happen
it is down to customers
to stop direct debits.

[Tom]

Oh I don't care about a refund it was coming up to a month plus it was only £6.50 for me

[arista]

Good News
Young RAF Tom.



We are living in Hard Times now.

[Tom]

If you've got Sky phone them up and say you want to cancel Sky Sports or something, they'll offer you a discount. I do it all the time and last time got 10% off for 6 months plus free HD so atm I'm paying £33

Might not get the same offer but might get something. And if they do just cancel you then just subscribe again or say you'll think about it

[utogga]

But sometimes there's a glitch in using credit card now a days.
Just keep any hard copy of your transactions to support that you paid for it.
