BBC NEWS | Politics | Brown worry on football coverage

Setanta, which is reported to have paid £5m for the rights to show the England game, said other broadcasters were unwilling to pay a fair price.

Frankly, if the solution is for the BBC to cough up £5m+ just so people can watch a football game, I'm glad that my tax money hasn't been wasted. The free market is all well and good apart from when you want to watch football? Tough shit.
