City launch legal action against the Premier League | Club & PL reach settlement | Proceedings dropped (p1147)

have zero sympathy for Newcastle or Villa. pretty sure earlier they voted for some of these PSR rules even if under different owners.
made your bed time to lie in it.
Zero sympathy for Newcastle and that is purely down to that fat fuckin Geordie gobshite on YouTube who moans and whines and slags us off somert royal.

You see, social media lighting these clowns up, really makes you hate clubs and fans.
 
I've sent a little note to Andy Burnham.


Man City have raised a legal query regarding the Premier League rules. The press coverage has been generally hysterical. I have yet to see a major media outlet say that if the Premier League rules are deemed illegal then Man City's challenge is justified. We live in a democratic society where we should all be able to reasonably challenge the process. That is all Man City have done. Andy, are you going to at least provide some balance by making a statement? Man City have invested heavily in Manchester and created a lot of quality jobs for local people. As Mayor of Manchester this is an opportunity to show you are a balanced and fair minded person.
........

It will probably get ignored, but you never know.
I trust to started the letter with "Dear ****"

Wasn't he very vocal about Everton when they was getting points deducted?
 
To be fair it's not a political point I am making. City have plenty of allies in the Labour ranks who will fight our corner moving forward, not least because Labour are just as keen on an independent regulator as the outgoing Tories were. I just think Burnham has been ineffective as a Mayor for Greater Manchester and I don't think that is an uncommon view.
Who, from any political party, has fought our corner?

Burnham's silence on the dealings of the PL with City is deafening, especially when his support for Everton and for "Jim's" plans for the "Wembley of the North" are brought to mind, especially as there is all party support for an independent regulator and considerable concern on all sides of the house at the constant attack on the one club which is setting an example to other clubs of the role of a football in its community.

Should have mentioned Everton are supposedly on our side. He'd be holding a press conference within the hour.
 
May have already been mentioned but talk yesterday of the rags speaking up in support of the PL.
Didn't they vote against these rules themselves?
 
He’ll win his seat back.

Ian Byrne is no longer a Member, but was most recently the Labour MP for Liverpool, West Derby, and left the Commons on 30 May 2024.

The dissolution of Parliament took place on 30th May 2024. There are currently no MPs – all seats in the House of Commons are vacant until after the general election on 4th July 2024. Find information on former members who were MPs at the time Parliament dissolved.

I presume he's standing for re-election in West Derby, Liverpool. Is this his election manifesto?
 
If Kieran Maguire has seen it, basically every journalist in the country has seen it.

Which means there’s absolutely no excuse for getting it so wrong, and that’s just going by how Maguire has explained it, a completely neutral opinion from someone who is qualified to talk about it.
They deliberately got it wrong for the whole narrative of City bad regardless..

Well if Maguire has read the actual document and he didnt come to the conclusion that this would usher in the 39th game, Super League and stop the EFL getting funded… you have to wonder where the journalists got those ideas?

It's a fair point. When you have mob rule no one wants to go against the mob. It takes courage to tell the truth. There are very few votes in supporting City in a nation which is polarised and increasingly consumed by xenophobia. The irony is that the last time I can remember coverage like this happening on this scale was the disgusting tabloid coverage which tried to blame Liverpool fans themselves for the Hillsborough disaster. I stress I am not suggesting that you can compare the horrific death of 96 people to City getting a bad press. I am just saying that these sort of hate campaigns are difficult to stop once they get momentum. I am old enough to remember the Birmingham 6 case. There was never a chance of them getting a fair trial.
