Setanta uncertainty worries United boss
Dundee United boss Craig Levein today admitted he was worried about the ramification of the likely collapse of television company Setanta, but, most of all, just wants the matter resolved (writes Tom Duthie).
After losing their English Premiership package late on Friday, the Dublin-based broadcasters are back on the brink of administration and that would spell big losses for the SPL.

While other TV companies are showing an interest in screening Scotland’s top flight should it become available again, it’s accepted any new deal would be for considerably less than Setanta were supposed to pay.

That’s bad news for the top flight, but, with a new season to prepare for, Craig has admitted he simply wants to know where everyone stands.

“It’s a worrying situation and now I just want to know what the outcome is going to be so we can get on with our work,” he said. “Right now, you just have to look at the lack of movement in the transfer market to see that is what we are all waiting for.”
