Said it before and I'll say it again.........the biggest threat to our game is American owners.
It's seems only a few fan bases can see this, and perhaps a very small amount of the press/media

The very first day these American owners started to appear in our game I said on here it’d be trouble.

It's a very fine balancing act between TV shop owners and local butchers to Americans and middle eastern owners.

No idea what the answer is but where there's real money to be made there's some people who don't have a love of the game, just a love of money.

I'm glad I'm a junior FOC in some respects, football will never be what it was for the kids & even lower middle aged adults that it was for us.

Sad innit
 
His name is Martin Samuel, not Samuels, but agree with all the comments about him. The only reason I listen to The Times footy podcast each Thursday tbh.

No need to worry about that. The appeal panel, if there is one, will be more qualified than the disciplinary panel, so no risk of yes men there. The original Leicester panel was very junior, maybe on purpose. The appeal panel was much more serious. I suspect our panel will start with the latter level of experience and the top dogs will be out for any appeal. This is the most serious case the disciplinary process will be facing, imho. Rosen can't risk another farce like the Leicester case ....

Normally I would find your reply totally reassuring but the PL appear to be simply not taking any legal advice and have been left by the Panel they previously appointed, the right to continue rule making.
Unless they are stopped in their illegal tracks surely they will continue ignoring UK law, long term suicidal but short term being allowed to appoint who they want simply to get more short term authority.

They're creating a perfect storm for an independent regulator to come in.....Turkeys voting for Christmas.

I know, it is different for kids now. Fancy going through life and not experiencing the toilets on the Kippax at half time, or even more memorable needing a dump at half time. They dont know what they are missing these millennials;-)
 
So if City are proved to be dodgy the Yankee 4 are going to sue us for damages.
This is laughable tbh and highlights the fact that all they are interested in is money, and care little for the game itself.
This is because if the worst case scenario occurs (I don't believe it will) then the bloodsucking leeches will be taking a chunk of our 'dirty oil money' from a 'state owned club'.
What is their moral stance over this? Where is their integrity?
Twisted , lying, scabby scum - all of them.

They'll be claiming compensation for the losses they believe they've incurred due to our wrongdoing

“I wish I was 18 again!” Or some such comment would be made a lot by people in general conversation. I haven’t heard anybody say something like that for a long time.

This Mancini thingy I get confused over. I read sometimes that even if City did pay him they was nothing in place at that time to say it was wrong.

I am right ?

I think this mancini shit stirring case can be skewed in or interpreted in so many different ways, it’s no case

I still can’t believe the chair hasn’t got a grip of Masters & their Chief lawyer & provided guidance. The premier league governance is like a speed boat without a driver.

Perhaps Americans being so use to riding rough shot over anything they don't agree with, can do the same in the UK. So far it seems they can.

They no outcry from the public or press/media for points deduction etc for bringing illegal rules. In fact it's the opposite blaming City for challenging the illegal rules !

Roughshod (but maybe you’re right - the Americans / shooting and all that).
