    It's on the back of threat of legal action for restraint of trade.

    Is the legendary NDM involved by any chance?

    I share your doubts, but the reasons for this potential change lead to a glimmer of hope. That greedy owners would financially benefit from an American style, fines only system might also help get it through.

    Leicester's challenge is apparently a good one. As may Forests be.

    Another point that was interesting was in the shift to a "big 7" and how we've become authoratitive in the talks. I have this picture of Man City and Newcastle at opposite ends of a long table, nodding knowingly at each other.

    Bit of a change from Lee Charnley making everyone a Sports Direct mug of tea and offering round the biscuits (one each, mind, look after the pennies...)

    I like that picture. Almost like Man City have a mutual respect for the future title races to come.

    Bring it on they say.

    Much obliged.

    Get Maldini in quick. Let’s grow this club to be a behemoth!

    More like only for the first 12 or 14 as you wouldn’t get many more in the one packet.

    Guys I would like to apologise to anyone who has ever felt offended by what I’ve ever said. For upsetting anyone. For making anyone be angry.

    That’s not my intention. I love you all.

    I just get worked up when things don’t go well for our sexy ass club.

    So please take this post and stick it up….. I mean accept my sincere apology.

    Let the fun begin.
