They just need to fix their match build up slightly (perhaps 1 less ad break) or give it more than 15 mins build up. Everything else is fine.”

ITV do have issues but its something they can sort out if given the chance, lets not forget money talks volumes in this industry and UEFA may just decide it's mega money they want, they do not care if ITV can or can not improve, if for argument sake BT double the amount ITV put down will they really turn it down for the sake of one game FTA?
Exposure is one thing, money and financially secure for years to come is another.
I would say ITV are very concerned about the outcome and I still think its quite possible they will lose out but I don't think Sky will end up with everything.
