“ And it’s all gone quiet over there”

These latest mad signings by all teams have just been crazy to just beat rules. I can’t believe Newcastle were seriously considering selling Gordon to meet the requirements. Nuts.

Sees thread about City's case against Premier League has jumped 10 pages.

Opens up thread to discover what new developments have occured, worthy of discussion.

Presented with picture of a bear shitting whilst wearing a Bishop's cap.

So no news then?

I’d say that’s extremely newsworthy

Fwench subtitles were wather exposed to widicule.

What about the Swedish ones? I heard that person had been sacked. Moose bites can be pretty nasty.

It's complicated but the PL is a private company and the FA is one of its partners so the FA has no control over it. In fact the FA holds a single share in the PL just like the 20 clubs.

Governance | Premier League

The Premier League is a private company limited by shares. For more information, visit the official website of the Premier League.

www.premierleague.com

The FA is also a special shareholder of the Premier League. Whilst it has no role in the day-to-day running of the Premier League, The FA’s special share means that certain actions can only be taken with its approval, such as the appointment and re-appointment of Premier League Board Directors.

Each year, the Premier League submits its rules to The FA for approval and sanction.

Presumably, the FA licences the PL competition? So it has some real teeth, in theory at least.

Didn’t the scum buy a £80m player for £40m a couple of years ago? That surely warrants investigation.

Especially as it turns out he was only worth 2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps after all. Definitely dodgy.

If it hadn’t been for the leak to Lawton we wouldn’t be aware of the case IMHO the judges will be still deliberating

Or they're all trying to agree a date to meet up to decide how much damages we're due?
