Not for supporters it wont, the rights could end up scattered on lots of different channels , making it very expensive.

I imagine if Apple could buy all the rights (providing that is 'allowed') they will. They're not going to play second fiddle to anyone and they have the money to do it.

No one firm can have all the rights.

Well then if the story is true, which I don't think it is, they will do just as Sky does and try and get as many games are they are legally allowed to. I can imagine ESPN (UK) closing if it is true though.

If true it would not just be ESPN. Sky would be dead in the water without EPL.

You have to remember these are big companies and would not take any threat to them lightly.

I was making a hypothetical statement. As you say Sky would not just stand by and let Apple destroy their business.

It would be a fitting tribute as both Sky and a Apple both become rotten to the core after a period of time:erm:
