Scottish football’s new £150m TV deal is set to be rubber-stamped this week after Rangers were effectively frozen out of the vote. Record Sport revealed earlier this month that the SPFL were ready to rip up their own rule book to force a bumper Sky deal through after the Ibrox club refused to give it their backing.
The gloves are off with Aberdeen owner Dave Cormack squaring up to Rangers chief Stewart Robertson over his criticism of the SPFL’s plans for a new £30million Sky TV deal. The Dons boss released a scathing statement on Sunday hitting back at Robertson’s claims that Scottish football is being undersold. But the Hotline callers reckon Cormack hasn’t scored the knock-out blow he thinks he has.
There aren’t many chairmen of a top flight football club who are frequently found on social media but Dave Cormack is an exception. However, the Dons supremo might have been advised to steer clear of Twitter on Sunday night after releasing his afternoon statement defending the current SPFL deal that is on the table from Sky.
Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack has blasted back in the SPFL TV deal row ahead of Premiership clubs holding crisis talks over the proposed £150m contract with current broadcaster Sky and he wants to get over "the never-ending cinch dispute". Rangers managing director Stewart Robertson accused Hampden head honchos of “underselling Scottish football” in an interview last week.
Scottish Premiership clubs are set for crisis talks next week in the latest attempt to rubber-stamp a new £150m TV deal for Scottish football.
Rangers chief Stewart Robertson believes Scottish clubs are being hampered in Europe by the gulf in value of TV deals to many of their rivals as he again aimed a blast at SPFL chefs for “Scottish football”. The Ibrox club refused to give their backing for a new £30 million a year Scottish Premiership deal which would see current broadcaster Sky Sports continue to show top flight games until 2029.
Realistic Stewart Robertson insists Rangers can't get over-excited by their Champions League windfall - because a £40m payday is far from guaranteed.
The SPFL have are set to hold an emergency meeting after Rangers failed to respond to a midnight deadline on Sunday to vote on a resolution to extend the current TV deal with Sky Sports. Top flight clubs were given 28 days to respond to the resolution and the Scottish Daily Mail reports that while 11 sides agreed to the request, there was no answer from Ibrox chiefs which resulted in the resolution collapsing.
