“I am very uncomfortable with the bickering that is going on at the moment, much of it over Financial Fair Play, I want to see the children playing nicely in the playground. At the moment it’s not happening. Whatever little I can do to ameliorate that situation, I am happy to do."
“Personally I think the rules as they are now should be scrapped and we should start again with a new formula. At the moment it is not working. Man City recently had a case against the Premier League which they won. Now there’s going to be another case, and after that we will have the decision on the 115 charges."
“Every club that goes to a Premier League meeting now brings a lawyer with them. I watched the Liverpool v Aston Villa gamerecently and it was a fantastic advert for the game. I want people talking about the football, not swamped by legal issues. You’ve got the league taking action against their own members, that doesn’t sit well with me."
“I know the game has moved on from the time when I would have blazing rows with Ken Bates or Ron Noades or Sam Hammam [the former owners of Chelsea, Crystal Palace, and Wimbledon and Cardiff City respectively] and afterwards we would have a cup of tea and shake hands.”
“That’s what I would do (have a general amnest before clubs start again under revised rules). That’s what I think it needs but the legal action has a life of its own now and it is taking up a lot of Premier League time. It is costing the league £50million and I would rather see that money going into grassroots football. What’s happening is crazy.”
It’s all very nice to hear but why now? Why would they give a voice to scrapping rules & playing nice having spent the last few years trying to destroy us.
I’m not having a dig at Dein, he’s probably had that opinion all along but why now does it get air time?
