PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Isn't this the problem as the PL aren't held to account for their decisions, which can on face value appear to discriminate against certain teams, whilst favouring others ?

Would an Independent body be expected to have to justify such decisions , or is there scepticism regarding that role too ?

The Premier League wont want to sanction Utd because they are major audience pull around the globe. The same could now be said for us but we know the Premier League are under pressure from the red cartel to do something.

Now that the government are introducing an independent football regulator the Premier League should at least be accountable.

Not sure what the point of that is. Is it supposed to be funny, which is how these things are frequently portrayed? Is it supposed to be a satirical take on the amount of time it is taking, which was obviously going to be the case as soon as the allegations were referred?

By all means take the piss, but if you are just stirring things up then you are part of the problem. What next, some satirical take on government ineptitude on immigration by pointing out net immigration figures since Brexit? That wouldn't be fucking funny in the current circumstances either ......

I actually did find it funny but then it put me in mind of the rags timer, I think the 1894 guys should have a banner for the first home game with it on. Now that really would boil some piss :)

You would certainly hope so as the PL and Masters have demonstrated their total bias towards the favoured clubs, at the expense of others.

The US owners need to be made to operate under the same rules and conditions which apply to everybody else or fuck off and " manipulate " their own sports .

No independent regulator would be involved in something like that matter

Don't think the two compare.

Paddy Power are genuinely funny. And cover any club that gives them an opportunity.

They are also immersed in football and linked to it, as a place where football fans bet on football.

With Dominos, their attempts are misplaced and out of character. They are provocative rather than funny, and lack finesse and balance. And they are detached from football. Weird.

Fair summary!!
 
4 month timeline doesn’t sound right. Just a few months ago they were telling us the severity of the charges mean it could go on for years now it’s getting sorted by Jan?
