    Premier League cartel. The top 6 dictating who can and can't own a club.

    That's what it cam down to it would appear.

    There's not going to be any explanation because they don't have to provide it.

    The collapse is somewhat of a relief tbh at present, but once a player like max or miggy wants out, they don't do well in this window and we get a tough start I think this will resurface in the minds of the fans... Its really going to leave a deep scar this one..

    Can Mandy sue them?

    I don't reckon they'll all just walk away from it with their tails between their legs

    Legal is irrelevant in football its run by gangsters from all corners of the globe..

    That's what they've done... They got melvined.. Time was the killer.. Their plans could not be carried out as they had intended.

    Not worse the hassle they realised the premier league were not going to pass so they saved face.

    Don't blame them tbh.

    What we're they supposed to do wait until if it was accepted thed go into the season with the **** squad we have and lose all their money when they get relegated?

    **** that just cancel and come back in future and see what clubs are available then.

    If Rafa then Bruce were directing it would just be a bloke sat there occasionally running up to a woman then backing off for 90 mins, then explaining how "They gave it their best shot, with lots of effort!"

    It is outside the scope of the O & D test unless the clubs are classed as the 'executive.'

    If outside the scope of the test, the decision would, if the PL were a public body, ultra vires and subject to Wednesbury Unreasonableness. They aren't though.

    Oh gosh, I actually teach this. Every year talking to the pupils about a mushroom growers society taking a government body to court as they weren't consulted about a change in the law. #precovidnostalgia

    What’s the bets we get either Man City or Liverpool or both in the first two games of the season aswell. Just to rub it in our faces.

    We have big problems if we’ve voted it down, as we have commercial agreements with Saudi all the time, I doubt we’d shoot ourselves in the foot given how Woodward and The Glazers don’t care about football.

    This season our first 10 games involved 7 of these guys:

    The year before our first 8 games involved 6 of them.



    It just gets a bit tiring/predictable. It really doesn't feel random to start the season with a batch of games we're the underdogs in and then have to fight up to midtable.
