Ron Gordon is convinced the new Sky Sports TV deal is Scottish football's best option and would be crucial in aiding the SPFL to hit its £50million jackpot. The Hibs supremo, along with bosses from Hearts, Aberdeen, Dundee United and Dundee, believe our game's revenue can be grown by £28.4million by 2029 after commissioning an independent Deloitte into enhancing finances.
The review's findings have been put to clubs and it's believed that with added incentives the cash flow into the Scottish game can be markedly enhanced over the next seven years. Gordon knows the biggest driver in this will be the television deal.
Record Sport revealed last week that SPFL chiefs were in talks about a deal which will hit the £30 million-a-season and see the number of live games be increased to 60. The Hibs chairman said: “I feel Sky are the best partners for us but the Deloitte report also validated this. I feel they are the best partner for us, for a variety of reasons.
