Again mate. You can spin and defend PVL as much as you want but he failed here. Big time. Instead of putting it out to tender and creating market tension, he just negotiated with his paymasters
There are also earlier reports in the thread about Seven increasing their outlay by 14%, so they are paying more.
All in all, if you want to argue or waste your time going over the finer details of how we are being smashed, be my guest but you are wasting your energies when it should be criticising V’Landys.
