Kind of depends who appoints the regulator doesn't it?

We could have a 2/3 majority vote on it.
No?
I haven’t thought this through.

Don't understand that surely the rule applies to all the other clubs

If they bring in a rule that says having a big fuck off hole in your roof leads to instant relegation, it applies to all clubs but it’s not going to affect all clubs is it?

Superb analogy

Keith Wyness is the stupidest and most pointless rent-a-gob who exists. I would listen to Mark Goldbridge over him.

Sacrilege Alice Talks

They've got a bloke on rawk who actually breaks down the charges for that lot. Sounds like a wannabe financial analyst but he's clearly just copy and pasting, not understanding, then telling everyone City are guilty.

I’ll bet he ain’t got a job the filthy scab

Because the new rules would leave us having most of our sponsorship deals being valued by a group of rival clubs as to what they believe "fair value" is. They could choose not to sanction commercial deals we consider crucial to growing the business and devalue a 10 year sponsorship deal for us which we are stuck with as opposed to waving through American owned clubs sponsorship deals with US based companies. Think we have lost all Trust in the process that would mean this would happen fairly.

Exactly, feels like we have finally bit back at the snake

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Have they paid out yet?

Plus the fact if we have to get other quotes to justify our chosen sponsor - we’ve done the research for our rivals who could zone in on the sponsors we’ve discarded!!

That’s good.
Having got your head around that, what do you think of the fact that 2/3 of the league voted in these rules that in effect nobble us.
Rules that don’t seem to have any business benefits for the league in general and this majority seem to be more interested in stopping our gallop than actually supporting football.
They are almost being tyrannical in their dominant position, you could say. Not being equitable or perhaps more accurately, clubbing together not for the good of all. Too influenced by a cartel really.

Do you think an independent regulator would govern in the same manner?

They couldn't be any worse
