Independent Regulator Petition

[Shaelumstash]

Not a conspiracy theorist pal, just not green enough to think people aren’t in it for their own vested interests, plus so called independant bodies like Police complaints commission, press complaints commision, OFFCOM, ombudsman have about as much clout as tickle.
You carry on though.

Which "people"?

There's over 90k people have signed it.

Not sure you know how it works?

If 100k people sign it, it's considered for debate in parliament. By MP's.

It's not a proposal by Gary Neville and the lizards with a load of small print that benefits United and fucks City over.

It's a petition for MP's to debate in parliament whether football should have independent governance.

Not sure what the anti-vaxer tin foil hat crew think it is, but I'm guessing you've got the wrong end of the stick about how it works.

I genuinely don't get it.

It's not a thread about Gary Neville. Happy to climb in and have a few pot shots about Gary Neville myself. Maybe we should start another thread?

It's a thread about the independent governance of football.

Something that would be of great benefit to City.

But because Gary Neville supports it, it's turned in to a thread about Gary Neville and how something he supports must automatically be bad for City. Bonkers.

The red's aren't under the bed anymore, lads. Move on.

It is a thread about Gary Neville because it's Gary Neville's idea. He's been pushing this since last summer, and now he's been given a soapbox to stand on he thinks he's the savior of football.

I think it's poor form to post this on a City forum, urging people to sign it by saying it's a petition to oust Gill when he isn't mentioned anywhere.

Do you really think that Gill and Neville aren't thick as thieves? They worked together for decades.

The same Gary Neville who wanted us kicked out of the Carabao Cup if we couldn't play due to Covid, despite the rules stating it would have to be rescheduled? Nothing to do with United playing us in the semi final, of course. Is that the kind of independent regulation you want?

That's all very well, but these 'debates' are almost always held in a small room with a handful of MPs. Will acheive the sum total of sweet FA but it will give good old Gary a PR win.

Pretty sure it's Alex Rolfe's idea. That's according to the petition itself, of course.

Here are the actual words of the petition:

Petition​

Introduce an Independent Regulator for Football in England by December 2021​

The Government should use the recently established fan led review of football to introduce an Independent Football Regulator in England to put fans back at the heart of our national game. This should happen by December 2021.
More details
1. Like a referee, an independent regulator would safeguard our beautiful game impartially. This doesn’t currently exist.
2. An Independent Regulator could protect the game against another attempt at a super league or other efforts to put money ahead of fans.
3. Water companies, energy providers and the media all have an independent regulator. Football matters to millions and should also have a regulator of its own.

Genuinely don't see how any blue could read that and think it wouldn't be a positive for City.

Nothing to be scared of guys, it's ok.

It’s not just him, David Bernstein is heavily involved in it.

A list that is endorsed by Gary Neville and signed by Andy mitten, Stretfordenders and Stephen fucking Howson sounds honky dory to me.
It works like this by the way. We as a club get shit on for years then when we finally climb to the very top with the best owners in football the utd and various Scouse misfits decide its time for a change and push for something that could well cost City in the future under the guise its good for the game.
I’ll stick to being a bit concerned thanks.

So if you're not paranoid about wild conspiracy theories can you point me to the wording in the petition that gives you cause to think anyone who supports it is "green"?

Or you just basing it on Gary Neville supporting it on Twitter?

2. An Independent Regulator could protect the game against another attempt at a super league or other efforts to put money ahead of fans.

All of the culprits front and center on the BBC article work for either BT SKY or both, they IMO started this and those pundits are complicit in it.

They magnify and carry on magnifying the big four even going as far as calling some of them "Grandfathers" of the league, their arrogance knows no bounds.

1992 is when it really happened and now the gravy train has halted at our station the passengers want to get off.
