I agree with you, I think he's right in what he's saying too. My comment was just my opinion that the fallout will never be forgotten. Mud sticks.

“Shambolic” Premier League - Media Reports

According to reports, the "shambolic" Premier League is under significant pressure after failing to deliver on its long-awaited new £900 million football support system as clubs instead prioritise reform to their own spending rules.

It is understandable that the PL prefers to prioritise reform to its spending rules before deciding what `deal` it wishes to agree with the EFL.

The irony is that Liverpool fan, Rick Parry, one of the original instigators of the PL, acting in effect for the redtops, and CEO of LFC for many years, was instrumental in the break from the football leagues and for exacerbating the disparities. Now Parry is on the other side at the EFL as Chairman, trying to get more money out of the PL. Before this he was meddling at UEFA.

The redtops have made a hash of this for all to see. They introduced new `rules`, which did not exist when they were exploiting the PL, in order to stymie competition. They appointed Man U supporter Alison Brittain as Chair of the PL. LFC and MUFC ensued that puppet Masters got the CEO job at the PL after better qualified candidates withdrew because they anticipated the forthcoming mess due to the vested and undue influence of the redtops. Now it is unravelling.

Money circulating throughout the game is drying up; the last transfer window saw little activity; other clubs are being hindered in their growth and development; punishments are being handed out mid season and then changed mid season !

The unholy redtops alliance plus Spurs, who last won the topflight division in 1961, have created tiresome, ongoing division within football. Their self interest and self protection overrides everything.

I couldn’t be bothered to go through the inevitable rows to say it last night when people were frothing at the mouth and posting “IWIAFC” etc but everything he said was right. That’s why the stakes are so high in the hearing.

Peps reputation is also going to take a hammering if it turns out Barcelona were paying millions to exert influence on referees throughout his tenure in the Negreira case.

It’s not really fair, he can’t do anything about it, but it’s ridiculous to suggest one of the 2 teams being found guilty of bribing officials wouldn’t change how people view that Barca side, and the same is true for City.

I also think as a fanbase we need to engage more with the idea that the huge delays and drawn out length of this process is not fair on us City fans as much as it’s not fair on any other club.

Maybe it doesn't break their house rules. You know the rules that are like a swing, slag City off, ok, slag the red tops and that breaks house rules. Throwing soft balls at tin cans on Blackpool pleasure beach has more integrity.
