In the midst of the monetary issues the Eurozone is currently dealing with (not to mention the debts of clubs themselves) comes a (preliminary) ruling that sounds like it would have profound effects across the sport. The article does point out, however, that the European Court of Justice follows the Advocate-General's opinion 'only' 80% of the time. I'm thinking lots of rich and powerful people are no doubt hoping this is among the 20%!

Interesting but I still don't buy the scare tactics being used of its wide ranging effect. If pubs and private individuals could buy those alternate satellite systems before but only did so in small numbers, what is to make them sure they will now turn to them in greater numbers if the EU's "Advocate-General's" opinion is adapted into law? |

I guess raconteur the thought is by receiving EU ratification, more people will now seek to purchase a cheaper satellite dish. But that also assumes those customers are buying a foreign based dish with the sole intention of watching football. That I think is an incorrect assumption and why I think raconteur could very well be correct. |
