The Times: Utd and Liverpool vetted new PL CEO candidates

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I don't really understand what people think could happen tbh.

It stinks, of course, but the Premier League "are insisting that there was appropriate involvement for all clubs in the process", according to The Mirror article, and will no doubt stick to that line.

Depends what else is going to come out (as @Prestwich_Blue has alluded to).

And people say our PR team are useless. This is just the starter. Main course is coming along nicely and will be ready for service soon.

The Premier league was created in order to satisfy certain clubs - the whole premise was corrupt before a ball was even kicked. Add Rupert Murdoch to the mix...well, nuff said.

The issue is 'appropriate involvement'. The FA are about to be exposed as feeling that certain top clubs should have more power and influence than other members of their competition / business. In their view it is appropriate for man utd to be involved at a higher level than other clubs, to promote their own agendas with more weight and influence, in the FAs internal decisions, guidelines for all members, and processes, as an example.

Which flaunts competition law for a start.

I suspect that's when we'll be serving the main course.

With a generous helping of just desserts at some point too.

Not a fucking thing on the BBC website, just shite stories about guess who? Yep, Liverpool and the Rags........

That's Bridgefoot, you can always spot the out of towners.

Indeed, it may not be the best town but it's my town - and I'm a born and bred Manc.

Now roundabouts through Birchwood or towards Gemini are an entirely different matter.

PB, you are a real tease. When can we expect the roast beef?

I use that route off the M62 when I'm visiting my parents. It's changed a lot since Birchwood Centre opened up maybe 35 years ago now (Fine Fayre and Quicksave in those days). It used to be a single carriage way over the M6 just beyond the college roundabout.

Nothing will happen.

The only way anything will change is if the main sports news sources in this country (BBC, Daily Mail, The Sun, Sky Sports News) make a sustained fuss.

We all know they won't as they also rely on the fans of those two clubs.
