    It's clearly a sponsored segment.

    But in any case, the FM database is regarded as highly accurate and even clubs use it to narrow down their search for new players.

    Yes, there were reports in the past of clubs actually using FM as part of their scouting process - in fact I think it's even in use in this capacity officially at some clubs these days.

    Everton signed a deal years ago. It's not surprising with the huge number of scouts the game uses for collecting stats for the database.

    Where have all these anti-Sky mobsters come from all of a sudden? Proclaiming the 'end of Sky'.

    Some people need to seriously get a life....

    Probably a reaction to the endless onslaught of crass pro-sky bull, sorry propaganda that's infected this forum for a very long time now.

    Sky really need to recruit more intelligent PR people.....

    It's crazy. The majority of people on this forum can have balanced debate about the pros/cons of Sky and similar with BT.

    You'd think Sky Sports have been running some kind of evil dictatorship whereby every member of the public have been forced to subscribe since the day it launched by the way some people go on about it!

    Someone's desperate, but it's not Sky.

    People have far too much time on their hands. Watch the channels or not or have decent points and stop making faux outrage on things that are pointless or something easy explainable as Mark wrote at the top. In fact it's more the case of these keyboard warriors stating something they don't like but going "oh doom and gloom for x,y,z channel" So it's a forced off the scale ridiculous remark that shouts down any reply of sanity.

    The thread (and others around particarly recently) have decended into useless chat and frankly waste of time in life of breath. All this conspiracy and some BS either side of the Sky fence is just sheer pish. Watch the fitba, rugby, tennis or whatever it is, what the channel. Constructive criticism as always but some anti/for 'pr' jargonbustering rubbish is astonishing, utter astonishing - especially recently i've read on decent threads. Sky, BBC, ITV etc. Constructive criticism/praise about outputs, presentations, rights etc but no doomsday(!) crap.

    Usually ignore the crap stuff/extreme stuff but just seen so much of it this past week/2 here. Who knows could be miles off the work.
