Pleased to see some opposition outside tyranny of the majority. https://www.thetimes.com/article/16...0?shareToken=b0248a2b7b233a3ecbbe10de2007b28a
Oh, just ****ing shoot me. This circus has gone on for far too long. You spend what you make, however you make it is up to you as long as it's not debt. Gifted money? Great. Investment? Fab. Inflated share prices? Awesome. OTT sponsorship? Perfect. Debt should be moderated, nothing else. If our owners throw a billion in, we buy 10 x £100m players, so be it. If the owners want to sell the club, the club will need to sell its' expensive players. They are just liquid assets. What ****ing baffles me is how nobody from City, Newcastle, Man U, etc., have come up with a universally acceptable proposal. I cannot fathom how the PL - a glorified marketing company - has the power to implement this bullshit.
The purpose of the rules is to secure the order at the very top. The Americans have bought our sport, and have never been unable to understand it. Wages determine the order, so let's restrict them specifically! The only real and honest solution is very simple, which is that owners sign something that holds them responsible for debts. It's so easy, but meanwhile people fall for whatever crap Eufa, Masters, and his cronies think up. Then they throw in the word 'fair', 'ratio' and say something preposterous like 'maintaining competitive balance'.
You should read about it because you'll soon realise the issue with your predictions and faith in particular.
Think it was Matt Lawton. Can't recall which crappy paper he writes for Edit: Found it https://x.com/Lawton_Times/status/1887871450092040517?t=ihelHVdGXSH_IqLZcOjUcg&s=19
I think the PL underestimate the PFA here. The PFA will win. And the Man City nee legal cases against the PL are also a positive thing. I can honestly see the rules being scrapped and new more lenient rules coming in.
It'll just go on and on, unless the tribunal indicates the rules in their entirity and unlawful! ie the concept. The Premier league is simply going to insist the rules are in play and they'll just keep rejigging them again, and again, and again. They know they lost, and simply claimed a win and slied in a new set of rules. The media will always take the emotional decision and agree with them. If they voted Newcastle out the league they would agree with it. The majority of fans like the rules simply because they haven't got the money themselves, so you'll be waiting until the cows to come home before you'll get an honest opinion from the media. It's the legality of the vote that needs challenging because the minority can just be voted into oblivion, while the majority get everything they need.
