I didn’t know about United’s action against the Sun, but it’s certainly another piece of a jigsaw that you don’t need the picture on the box to complete.
The Premier League’s investigatory process comes without the safety net (for those charged) of recourse to an independent appeals body like CAS, and any approach to the High Courts would be on very limited grounds (as I understand it). The PL’s own disciplinary process then is pretty much it, which leaves us back where we started. At the mercy of an organisation that is in thrall to our immediate rivals. Masters, the PL CEO, was given the seal of approval by United and Liverpool when he was appointed. He is “their” man and they will be leaning heavily on him to take the kind of action that ordinarily the PL wouldn’t touch. We’ve got zero chance of a fair hearing IMO and I’ll be very surprised - regardless of how monumentally shite the “evidence” is - if they don’t charge us with whatever trumped up bollocks they can dream up.
FSG and the Glazers aim (and FSG in particular) is what it always has been. The total destruction of our club. They’re absolute cnuts and City fans need to disavow themselves of the notion that Harris is a “crank” and that his accusations are “weak”, because they are merely a pretext for others to take action. I hope we have sufficient leverage of our own to dissuade the PL from embarking down that path
