Interesting article from 2020 about the appointment of Masters. By Rory Smith and Tariq Panja, but it does shed some light on the process.

The 'Dave Howe' part is interesting.

Why did it take the Premier League more than a year to hire a chief executive? The answer might lie in who was given a say, and in a growing gap between the rich and the even richer.

Panja is a paid up Scouse bastard client journalists.

You are right about the Howe part of the article.

It just let me view it when I went on it, but always prefer the non-paywall version, just wish I understood how that worked...

Go to https://archive.ph/ and put the web address into the 2nd (blue) bar and hit 'search'. If there are any saved versions they'll pop up. If something isn't there then come back later and you may get lucky. The 1st (red, boo) bar is if you have an unlocked site you wish to save yourself.

Yet another example of the PL tail wagging the dog. The board should make the final decision, yet it seems to be completely servile to vested interests among its members.
 
The Pemsel one is odd too. He was forced to quit after the press released some personal texts between him and a woman. He was married at the time.

The texts were flirtatious, but not vulgar (if the ones I saw were all of them anyway). And that was it.

So.. how did a paper get hold of them? Someone's mobile was hacked perhaps?? Very convenient if you owned a football club and he wasn't the one you wanted in charge.

There is so much more to Master's appointment, but there's zero pressure appetite to look into it. I hope City have looked into it all independently.

To lose your job over these????

He wants sacking for having absolutely fuck all game and referring to himself as “wildly hot”.

My life fades. The vision dims. All that remains are memories. I remember a time of chaos, ruined dreams, this wasted club. But most of all I remember the Centre forward, the man we called 'Aguero'. To understand who he was you have to go back to another time, when the game was powered by the red cartel, and the media spouted great lies of bluff and bluster. Gone now, swept away.

So because the fella’s dad played football he was an “impeccable” choice to run the PL?

Fuck me sideways.

I always felt sorry for Don Howe. Especially if he was travelling a long way and needed an urgent toilet stop whilst tooteling down the M6. Only to be told at The Services “No Football Coaches Allowed.”

It still amazes me how successful intelligent men put it in writing ffs. Just say, are you free for a chat about the proposal.

That said, she was defo enjoying the game, I’d be surprised if he hadn’t nailed her by the time these came out.
