       They're absolute experts. Heard from someone else in rugby other
       than Chris Jones that his report was accurate.
       TNT offered 14m for the rights, sport said no - TNT told them to
       stick it. Sold them for 6m to Prem Sports.

       Yeah, that's the problem though, you cannot guarantee that
       people like that aren't going to be involved somewhere. With
       football making some people exceedingly rich at the expense of
       practically everything else you'll get the same kind of vampires
       wanting a piece of that action, and if nothing else those people
       are also good at convincing the dumber executives of the merits
       of really stupid courses of action.
       Someone will have made bank on this rubbish deal.
