ITV Digital could face imminent closure if a lower offer for media rights is not accepted by the Football League today, according to reports in today’s national press.
Such a drop in revenue from the media rights sale could cause financial difficulties for many of the 72 football clubs in the League. However, if ITV Digital, which recently appointed Deloitte & Touche to “restructure” third party deals including this one (see ITV Digital Requires ‘Urgent Fundamental Restructuring’ Say Owners), goes under, the clubs could lose out completely.
