I was musing regarding if there is an IFR angle to this desire to have the vote taken and passed. It will look even more of an unruly mess and in need of a 'heavier hand' from an IFR if all stays in a state of disarrayNot sure any of that matters, even if it is a nuisance for City fans in England.
But I can't help thinking there is a cartel-inspired strategic reason for having the vote, come what may. Maybe it's just as simple as presenting the tribunal with a fait accompli - we have implemented new rules, problem over - in the hope that is the end of it. Or maybe it's to counter a more sophisticated, as yet unknown, attack strategy from City.
The vote can still get pulled, of course.
I suppose we will find out soon enough .....
Think you’re right there.I keep borrowing @TinFoilHat hat,
maybe it's time I got my own but.....
Since the tribunal, the Pl have scheduled one meeting but then cancelled and now organised tomorrows vote. Between the 2 nothing changed so why the need for tomorrow's meeting ?
I reckon the sole reason for doing this is to keep showing City in a bad light via the media.
They know it is sensible to wait for the full verdict but that doesn't allow the media to paint us as the bad guys.
(Don't forget who interviewed Masters before he was allowed to get the job.)
The problem with doing it this way is that people are starting to realise how bent/incompetent the Premier League is.
The cartels plan could end up back firing.
Quarter past one (am).
City can’t be sending letters?
Fuck off you silly little ****.
It matters if you believe, as I do, the only reason they keep wanting a vote is to keep showing City as the bad guys.Not sure any of that matters, even if it is a nuisance for City fans in England.

From what I remember, board meetings are like herding sheep. Shareholder meetings are like herding cats.
But I do take your point that the PL should only be proposing votes that are in the interest of the league as a whole. It would be much easier to determine voting intentions in that case. Although the unruly mess we have at the moment makes that almost impossible, I imagine.
