Interesting TV deal. I hope it holds. Slater casts doubt on Ch10’s and Paramount’s financial future and notes it doesn’t do much for the Men’s or Women’s A-Leagues.

Also, I thought some of the sponsors like Comm Bank, Qantas, Lego, Nike, Cadbury, Priceline and Spanish car company Cupra might get cold feet after the ordinary Paris 2024 Olympics performance by the Matildas, but looks like they are staying the course.

I understand Slaters concerns but from what I have read the C10/P+ was the only offer on the table. Bit like the A league.
