Might be wrong but didn’t the BHFC CEO give evidence on behalf of the PL at the hearing?Out of interest, what makes you say that Tony Bloom is blindly supporting the premier league? The only time I am aware that he ever spoken about the APT case is in an interview with the Athletic where he said:
"Bloom: I don’t want to talk too much about [the APT case] because it has gone to arbitration and we are going to get a ruling on that soon. We (Brighton) are outsiders. Each club, legally, are able to do that. I don’t think it’s great for the reputation of the Premier League, but these things happen. We have to see how the legal process develops. I don’t think it will be helpful for the Premier League to lose the case, but we are going to find out the outcome soon."
The only part of that comment that can in any way be seen as supportive of the premier league in my mind is the final part about it not being helpful for them to lose. However, it's objectively true for us as a club that the premier league losing the case has been unhelpful - Man City winning has caused a huge amount of uncertainty over the rules, and now no one even knows what the rules are currently, let alone what they will be in a few months
For a club of our size, all we can do is ride the currents and try to plan for the future as best as possible to avoid everything going tits up when we inevitably have players/staff poached. We can't do that effectively when there is such a large amount of uncertainty over the parameters we need to operate within.
All that is to say that I find it difficult to read that comment as outright support for the premier league so much as wanting what is best for Brighton as a club, and currently that is just certainty and consistency in the rules. I think that's probably true for most other clubs in the division as well really - few clubs are necessarily for or against the league in this case from what I've seen, they seem to just want everything resolved as quickly as possible so that they can start planning for the future (which may also be why they'd be willing to push through these amendments to the rules that the premier league is telling them will fix everything)
If Bloom has made other statements about the case I'd be grateful if you could let me know so I can read them :).

Brighton have enjoyed £373 million of interest free shareholder loans.
No wonder Bloom doesn't want to talk too much about ( the APT case )
Hence his vote with the cunts .
I thought Messi was (or maybe Bermuda Shaun)Paddy McGinty's goat

Amazing double standards certain clubs choose to have concerns about, yet appear happy to support the PL when promoting an illegal approach to their rules.

And how did English football survive for so many decades before the barely intelligible financial regulations were concocted?
We enjoyed the greatest sustained growth in the history of any sports league outside the US
There is so many paid shills in the media because they surely must know if they scrap apt all together no top team who get European football can not have a sponsor of over fair market! UEFA stopped psg having a 200m a year sponsor 9/10 years ago those rules are still there..

There 350m loan is 0% so they bring the loan to be fair market they'll owe a lot more plus if they back date it
Because the cartel clubs were winning every trophy,so it wasn't an issue.And how did English football survive for so many decades before the barely intelligible financial regulations were concocted?
