Levein unfazed by Setanta plight

Sat 27 Jun, 04:02 PM


Dundee United manager Craig Levein believes the Scottish Premier League will be able to attract an even more profitable television deal than the one they enjoyed with Setanta.

SPL bosses are seeking a buyer for their domestic broadcasting rights following the demise of the Irish-based broadcaster, who were forced to call in the administrators this week.

Scottish top-flight clubs will be concerned how Setanta's downfall will affect them financially but Levein insists there is no need to press the panic button.

"We'll get a TV deal and I think the TV deal we get will be better than our last TV deal," he said.

"I feel that our product is something that's valuable.

"I'm fairly certain that we will get a good television deal and I'm hoping that, if the TV deal goes the way that we all want, there will be even more money for myself and other managers to spend on players."
