Even if influence was equal, it would not be a democracy. The voters are commercial rivals and nobody else e.g. fans, players. Even if we look just to the football universe, it is just a sample of interested parties and that is why the PL has a duty to propose only rules which are equal in their effect. A good example of this is heavily indebted clubs are treated just the same as clubs with minimal debts but rules can affect these two groups differently. That is why regulating the P&L but not the balance sheet is wrong.

You have absolutely no idea what context it was used in. None of us do. Therefore you can't say that with any meaning whatsoever.
Can you imagine how much digging on the PL, Masters, and the Red Shirt clubs, Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mansour, Khaldoon, secret agents, speacial agents, secret agencies, private investigation companies, private detectives, etc have been doing over the last year or two.
OK, I might have gone a bit OTT, but you know City have been digging.

It's not a phrase I'd be using in my local Levenshulme pub, but in private legal document it's not exactly a wildly out of place term. And it's used frequently in press reporting and in political debate.
Abolishing the filibuster won’t lead to a ‘tyranny of the majority’. It’s quite the opposite
What defenders of the filibuster want is minority rule – and a government unable to deliver anything meaningful to its people

Opinion: the government claims it can right any wrong, tax any event, intrude upon any relationship, even suppress any speech that it chooses.

The Times Online are leading with another 'Exclusive' (leak) regarding tomorrow's hearing.
Apparently the first hour will be taken up with legal argument about how the case will be decided.
The Premier league want to use the one potato two potato system whereas City lawyers are insistent on Rock Paper Scissors.

Point of order: Quinny had been subbed by then and was running down the touchline telling the team we needed to win as we were keeping it in the corner.

City should have assumed the document would get leaked and this phrase would be picked apart in the Court room of Talkshite. Anyway. what's done is done.It's not a phrase I'd be using in my local Levenshulme pub, but in private legal document it's not exactly a wildly out of place term.

I am serious. A) it wasn't a public comment, it was in a confidential submission to an arbitrator. B) Nobody knows the context, it is a catchy phrase easy for the media to run away with. C)It is not the club that used it, presumably, it was the lawyers.
