From Confguide website:-

York City manager Billy McEwan has called on Setanta Sports to reveal how they will distribute the £2.8million they promised to Blue Square Premier clubs.

The Irish broadcasters signed a five-year agreement to televise matches last August when this figure was mooted but no further details have been given.

Setanta did not substantiate at the Conference's recent annual general meeting but with 79 league and Setanta Shield matches due to be screened next season, club bosses are eager to know the figures.

McEwan told the York Press: "You always get an official figure quoted in the Premier League's negotiations with Sky and information on how it will be distributed, but Setanta won't divulge what the deal is.

"We need to know. The club officials were not told at the AGM but I've got a meeting with Setanta next month and I will be wanting to find out then."

However, Setanta did reveal that they are planning to fit managers with microphones during games and also screen pre-match team talks from the dressing room.

They are also hoping to hold interviews with players immediately after their substitutions as part of match-day coverage, but McEwan is sceptical.

"They want to be different to Sky but they've got no chance with microphones on the manager. I will be voting against that," he added.

"As a manager, you need your own privacy and I don't think the viewers will want to be listening to what's being shouted on the touchline."

Could You imagine GH on the mic! and whats this about pre game team talks? lets just go next door our selves and say well were planing on shutting brayson out of the game by putting Tinson on him were watching out for your lad on the left wing he seems quite dangerous. what are you doing?

stupid the dressing room before the game should be players and stff only not fans sat on their arse at home!

In france they do the winners dressing room for all post-match interviews, its pretty good, the other ideas are awful. In fact with our dressing rooms all the ideas are awful.

GH's touchline manner isn't exactly a microcosm of the clubs family friendly atmosphere. it would end up being more of a comedy thing to be frank!

wouldent the taemtalks be a bit pointless because all you would be watchin is the 2 managers watchin the tele 2 find out what the other team is doing n waitin for each other to make the first move. also gh on the mic: beep beep beep come on lads lets beepin raise it beepin hell lads

Apparently Peter Thomson is going to be the interviewer.

Since when did GH need a microphone to be heard all round Moss Lane?
