They will not let New Customers Join.



Future matches have not been paid for
they missed it.

New Owners are there but not putting money in.
If you phone it claims Tech Problems.

But what about all the Direct Debits
if they go Bankrupt
you will get no refund fast.



"If Setanta does collapse there will be a scramble to acquire its many rights, with ESPN seemingly poised to finally make inroads to the UK football broadcasting market."

I said this last night would have made a thread but couldnt find a link.
You have a link ? i want to read up on it.

I just heard they couldn't afford paying for live football anymore lack of funds.



Biggest problem is they were paying for world cup qualifiers... bbc wasn't really paying for many. And im not sure sky are buying them either.

Stopping Direct Debits
needs to be Done
but you need to know they are Bankrupt.


Not paying for FA matches
tells me they are going under.

We will find out this week.
I am sure the Bosses know what way they are going.

Jeff Randall 7:30PM on Sky News
may have a new update
or better the Truth.

[Jen]

World Cup qualies are on Setanta...
Will they be shown on sky, if Setanta goes up in smoke...?

Yes I guess Sky will take it a knock down deal
if Setanta goes under.


Any new updates I will post.

[Jen]

Cheers, Arista.

BBC might as well .... and dare I say it .... ITV

[arista]

Jeff Randall now on SkyNews
for 30mins will feature this Sports Company
he will ask will they take Clubs with them.


Jeff gets to the truth
this is the best Business News each day
7:30PM to 8PM SkyNews
and online.


He just said the Staff of Setanta
are going to a 9AM meeting tomorrow.
More on this after the break.


This looks Bad
he showed how ITV Digital
did the same.

After the 9AM
Tomorrow we find out that they may fold.

They're so biased when it comes to covering Scottish football, literally the only times they're up at Pittodrie are when we're playing Celtic or Rangers, there are so few occasions when they record a game between Aberdeen and an SPL team outwith the Old Firm.

[arista]

They asked Sky for a £50million loan
Sky told them they are not a bank.


SkyNews said they are still going
but we have yet to find out
if any backers will pay for the £30 Million matches
and how long can the stay afloat in this state?

England are on ITV tonight...

[arista]

The BBC can not buy them
they are not a Commercial company in that sense
they are Public owned.


Yes ITV has the match
and the Evil RMT Union
has a tube strike.
Nasty.

[arista]

A Yank has offered £20million pounds
to them, but they need around 100 million pounds in total.
Of course he wants 50% of the company , as well.

This Yank also is part of Pay TV


On Radio 5 Live.

[Lauren]

I was about to ****ing buy a Setanta card for my TV too, grr. LOL.

[arista]

Thats Lucky you did not.


They could still Fold.

[andyman]

Same mess as OnDigital, remember them? Bit like Freeview but had sky sports, sky one, mtv, sky movies, moviemax..

Be great if Freeview had that option, pay as you go tv.. Not everybody wants flippin Sky!

[Lauren]

Setanta offered 20m... for a 51% stake!
So he'd be the major shareholder... smart move by the US Tycoon, but bit pointless of him to only offer a quick bail out.

[andyman]

U.S. Tycoon Len Blavatnik offers £20m for 51% stake in Setanta, Setanta board considering proposal.

[andyman]

Setanta been around since 1990.

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.

Sky may allow that
as it is still money going in.

Times have changed.
