I may be totally missing the point here but.....another package is designed to help who?
Sky could easily lose their 4.00 Sunday and if worse comes to the worse be left with something like BT have at the moment.
If its all down to bidding there should be absolutely no guarantee as to who wins what.
I find it quite baffling at the moment that certain journalist's and media are suggesting such toff that the prem league are worried about Sky and what may happen to their amount of fixtures they have, you could read in to it that they already know where packages are going, which should be impossible to judge.
