Ah interesting, I knew it was a phrase that got used a lot in relation to the American constitution and state rights but I hadn't realized it had an earlier coinage! You'd think the red shirts would know this?!Yes but Alexis De Tocqueville first used it, in a study of American democracy published in 1835.
Not only do you have to be an expert on subjects such law, accounting, geopolitics and history to be a City fan these days, you also have to be a philosopher.
Descartes said "I think, therefore I am". He might have amended that these days to "I can't think, therefore I am a red-shirt fan".

Think someone should be taking on the two thirds majority voting rule. When you have a cartel of American owned clubs voting together, it can soon become a tyranny of the majority.I’ve not run with any interpretation. I’ve shared how the media have been reporting this phrase. If you can’t accept that City / our lawyers can make a genuine mistake then that’s up to you. It has already died down helped by very knowledgable Blues who have explained they City are almost certainly not taking on the Prem’s two thirds majority voting rule.
People who have worked on highly contentious legislation / litigations will understand how important the Comms often are.
I've no doubt that there are current prospective US based owners out there with dollar signs in their eyes at the thought of a Premier League 'franchise' system.Think someone should be taking on the two thirds majority voting rule.

Would that be something like..Yes but Alexis De Tocqueville first used it, in a study of American democracy published in 1835.

Almost correct, but it wasn’t obiter, it was ratio and Dirty Arse Ltd. were ordered to clean up their act.Im afraid the case law from Followed Through PLC v Dirty Arse Ltd ex parte SBD LLP 1987 takes precedence here with Justice Skidmark commenting in obiter that "If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, it's a fucking duck".
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Prem try to encourage American ownership of Everton. 14 American owned clubs could be round the corner. Obviously they won’t collude all the time, apart from where they have a common interest. Prem Games in New York could be a couple of years away.Think someone should be taking on the two thirds majority voting rule.
