What could the Premier league do if Saudi sponsor City and Abu Dhabi sponsor Newcastle?

Bring a rule in within 48 hours to ban it

They both have brown skin so alarm bells would still be ringing

But it wouldnt have mattered if the vote rejected the change.
Suggests either City hadn't read the room right on how many would vote against it, or didn't understand the 2/3rds rule (as many of us thought it was 14 no matter what)

They'd need to be quite sure of which way everyone was voting.Maybe they wanted a legal challenge, they had threatened it if the change went ahead.

Tbf both myself and @Prestwich_Blue did challenge him on his ESPN article where he showed he doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about (in a cordial manner) and he liked PB’s reply to my comment.

Didn't realise it was you I responded to. Marcotti is usually sound on financial stuff and we've engaged cordially on a number of occasions. He was wrong here though.

Never get why teams like Fulham, Brighton. West ham for example cosy up to the fuckers. It's like the said teams are happy to sit and challenge for the odd Europa Conference position and a good cup run. Zero ambition!

It's like they are happy to look up and never be a part of the elite, as long as they finish higher than 18th position every season.

Each one has some dodgy elements and money laundering is always a side business for top tier sports clubs

Cry?

Realistically though, there's a huge percentage of people that aren't on social media or are scrolling past all of that shite. People don't need to be offended by it. It's keyboard wankers writing absolute nonsense. See it, ignore it. Because it relates to something we're passionate about we obviously get riled up by it, but it doesn't make a difference what we think. If it wasn't the charges, there would be another reason people would find to hate us and claim our success didn't count.

Get some rat journo to leak a story and get all the rags, dippers and tarquins foaming at their mouths in their mother's box room.

Thats a good podcast that Stefan shared on Twitter.
Mark Chapman, Gabby Logan and a sports lawyer.

Basically saying that its not that big a deal and no matter the outcome it won't change a great deal. And that everyone has seen "man city taking the premier league to court" since Tuesday and gone into a frenzy
