It is a long established principle that sporting bodies are allowed leeway to promote sporting equality over all of Europe and presumably USA considering how bodies the NFL operate .
There's a reason there has never been a cap and that's because the Premier League wanted to bring the best players to English football at whatever price. As I see it the PL is reeping what it sowed, that's why I laugh at Man City pissing everyone off and hopefully even funnier if any punishment is miniscule. Did anyone care at the top when they created a breakaway league in 1992, did anyone care about the lower league clubs going under, it's taken over 30 years to get anything like a scratching of a deal with the TV companies that prop up the Prem. In more recent times, clubs attempted to create a top six league with the rest of Europe, then we have UEFA who have changed beyond recognition what use to be the European Cup. We've got players crying because they play too many games, while being paid obscene wages to keep the elite in the UK. The Prem will not change, why would it, it has a fair chunk of the pie, so fook em, hopefully Pep can gloat over a few more trophies this year, although someone called Slot has big ideas about spoiling the party, hmmm... please log in to view this image
The tribunal has declared the APT Rules to be unlawful. MCFC’s position is that this means that all of the APT rules are void, and have been since 2021,"
This is crazy tbh... can we just get rid of these rules and let clubs determine their own future. The Premier League is useless.
The Premier League is useless in the same way UEFA is useless because they are corrupt, see FIFA for more details.
Citeh have them over a barrel ... irony is that the Premier League might have to pay damages to Citeh!
I'm sure it was pure coincidence that the APT rules came into force immediately after the Saudi Newcastle takeover and the prospect of a monumental gate crashing of the established 'Big 6'....
Windy has been with his imaginary girlfriend for a few years now I think her not being real is taking it’s toll on him tbh
Rather watch Tamworth v Gateshead. Soft spot for Gateshead from Football Manager where I imagined the local Hasidic community came to the midweek games.
