City launch legal action against the Premier League

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

The major issue with the PL seems to be a complete absence of leadership. Masters is a ‘patsy’ blindly following instructions from the cartel who appointed him without any consideration of the wider implication's for the draconian rules they are imposing. The PL has descended into a shitshow from the moment Masters was appointed. Makes you think Scudamore must have done a pretty good job fending off the red shirts during his tenure.

To be fair to Masters he might just be an incompetent arse……..

hmmm, so if we're found guilty i'll be going with "everyone knows we're innocent but we got done on a technicality"

For this case we can't be found guilty as we brought the case against the PL rules

Oops I posted on the wrong thread. It gets confusing at times. My bad.

I often think along these lines when I hear the word liar bandied about. Might not be a liar, might simply be wrong.

Ffs, does that mean Sky have won the rights to show The Origami World Championships?

Yeah apparently the opposition folded before the final bid

Yes but only on paper so far.

Similar to the word ‘corrupt’. Invariably they are just not suited to the role they’re in but corrupt, particularly with no financial gain to be made, not so much.

when a job at the head of one of the most prestigious brands in the world is passed up by 2 much more qualified candidates questions have to be asked as to why

Bloom has built Brighton by applying a moneyball approach to players. He finds good players on the cheap (using similar algorithms to Starlizard) and sells them at a huge profit.He then uses that profit to buy even better players and so on. Brighton and Brentford have shown it’s the only way smaller clubs can compete with the rich elite.

So it’s not a case of no ambition, that is the business model.

Can you explain in simpleton terms just how they can consistently find good players on the cheap, players that much bigger clubs with huge scouting networks and youth systems seem to have overlooked?
