If only he'd stop the red mardarse fan in him tweet before the so called journalist in him did.

He obviously doesn't read the news.

English football clubs will not face sporting sanctions from independent regulator, government says

A white paper published in February envisaged that an independent football regulator would have "the ability to recommend leagues or the FA apply sanctions". But the government now says it does not want to "place unnecessary burdens on the game".

It says they regulator won't be doing it, the EFL, PL and FA will still do it.

I saw the vote was taking place when I went on the beeeb site this morning. Sure it was taking place on the continent (can't recall where) but **** stone was reporting from there, at our expense. Thick rag nonce.

Stone has crossed the line where anything that comes his way is on the table. And I mean anything.

I wouldn’t read to much into this but it certainly isn’t a bad thing. With Saudi emerging as a football power I guess UEFA need all the friends they can get, especially ones with power in the region.

Perhaps a realization that the football sector should develop its business plans to emulate our owners investment strategy to maximize its global appeal rather than continually pander to the wishes of failing history clubs.

Sorry, I can dream can't I,.?

Me dad told me he did after his mam was taken from him by tuberculosis, when he was only 9 or 10.

Reading that, the independent regulator would be pretty toothless in reality which is a shame as the existing system seems to run for the benefit of Arsenal United and Liverpool.

Is this being added to 115 charges now.

I’m my opinion, it’s a huge shift from the cartel of clubs who are realising:

Our owners have a proper plan and are delivering it successfully (cfg) and more importantly are going nowhere.

We are a real force who have crashed their little cartel after winning the one trophy they tried and hoped we never would (big ears in Istanbul).

Have beaten uefa in court so will fight when we need to (and win).

Have money to spend, regardless of ffp rules).

As a result of all that they have had to accept that if you can’t beat them, join them. I just hope we have a plan to ruin them all from the inside.

Slightly mixed feelings on this. On the one hand, it’s a further sign of us finally being accepted at the top table which will presumably help the club. On the flip side, the ECA are an organisation whose priority seems to be protecting the interests of an elite group of clubs, rather than the game as a whole. Not sure it’s necessarily a cause for celebration as such.
