It either suits the premier league to create this fear or they don;t think they

have a leg to stand on in refuting these claims. The stories I have read suggest broadcasters will get more games if the league re-starts and I would wager that the viewing figures will be higher given no fans can actually attend. The German games this weekend were getting millions in viewing figures.

Surely the premier league has enough leverage here to get these guys to do a deal. They should threaten to ban any broadcaster from any future rights if they enforce a rebate.
