That 'Arsenal letter headed demand' from the 4 clubs from a while back and posted earlier in this thread, tells you everything you need to know about the collusion that is taking place in this apparent democracy of a PL.
As in most 'democracies', there is a small group that sits at the top table and pretty much dictates how the 'democracy' works.
Also, as in most 'democracies', the plebs (read that as 'fans' in this case) are kept at bay by propaganda fed to, or created by, a partisan press, which results in most uneducated people swallowing the lies and treating it as the truth.
All of this will NEVER stop until either the old guard get their way, or so much time passes that the younger generations of non-old guard club fans begin to outnumber their adversaries in positions of relative power.
