    I'm happy the clubs in the premier league and I think there's a reward in accepting reality.

    And the PL release this pathetic punishment a day before the starts of the euros. To soften the media blow.

    You can just imagine them all around a table drinking expensive brandy smoking Cuban cigars.

    Throwing darts at a dartboard covered in pieces of paper from £1m to 20m and the bullseye being points deduction. The first throw hits the 20m and the big six flinch. “Throw it again you darn yank”

    “We can’t.... hmmm we did say that it was going to be each but let’s take a vote the 7 of us. Let’s split the 20m between us. All in favour? 7 hands go up. Deal!

    When should we announce this? Well the world is destructed with the Euros so let’s do it the day before.

    Excellent idea Richard. That’s why we hired you! Top man.

    Now about the league position winnings for next season.........

    Really. No one had any expectations of what a fine would but 99.9% of fans would have expected more than that!

    Well i personally would have thought a £10m fine each would have been to low.

    Makes you sick.

    We really need some good news at our club soon.

    It’s going from bad to worse to comical to wtf?

    If Carroll signs that contract this week and we hear nothing about the takeover. Man it will be depressing!

    Here’s a far wide possibility. Maybe the fine is so small because the PL have said they have agreed to the PIF takeover. To soften the blow we will only fine you 3.3m each.

    That in itself is the punishment.

    The PL just became a far less attractive product. Six clubs confirmed as pulling the strings.

    So you were wrong.

    It’s a pathetic punishment but it still counts as a punishment.

    I did mention a token fine earlier.

    Far from the nonsense you were suggesting

    Globalisation is one of the worst things to happen to the game.

    There needs to be in this order.

    1. a takeover.
    2. Independent regulators installed straight afterwards.
    I’m actually gobsmacked at the penalty.

    So this was your “later” incorrect view then. <cheers>

    I recall expressing a “hope” as to what I would like to happen but can’t recall stating a view as to what “would” happen. So no nonsense from me matey.

    Look lads I know you get irritated, but at some point you should realise I'm on the ball most of the time.

    No he said 99.9% expected more.

    I quite clearly wasn't one of them.

    Correct?

    Regulator should be created by statute immediately.
