According to the MEN, Brighton’s chairman Tony Bloom is of the opinion it would be unhelpful if City win their case against the PL. FFS unhelpful to who? Don’t these people see that the current rules were made by the cartel inspired PL to be unhelpful to some and helpful to others. Look how that is turning out for them. It’s insane that clubs like Brighton seem to enjoy their mediocrity instead of backing a club that could actually go some way to levelling the playing field. Bizarre….

Even more bizarre that the chairman of Brighton from down on the south coast would be giving an opinion on it to the MUEN from the northwest.
Maybe it's a different guy they mean.
Probably some ex associate of Paul Massey's named Tony "Boom Boom" Bloom knowing that shit stain of an outlet.

He knows if clubs below Brighton can invest then it drops them a level .

Yep, Redknapp always seems a fairly nice chap. Often very positive about us. just seems an ok guy. I’m assuming I’ve missed something.

Luckily, I'd say you've missed bullshit on social media.

And Leicester getting off

They're still pulling that case together.

I also have it on good authority that they are revisiting the unsolved Jack the Ripper cases............

Can't find it on YT, I'm sure someone more savvy could dig it out.

They’re all on Netflix now and I think Channel Four’s own streaming service too.

He didn't, as far as I can tell.
He gave it to the Athletic and the MEN has just stirred things.

It appears that Bloom said it would be bad for the reputation of the PL if the PL lost (which seems reasonable), and then he said it wouldn't be helpful - I read it to mean that it was unhelpful because of the effect on reputation.

As per the athletic interview Bloom said about APT:

Bloom: I don’t want to talk too much about that because it has gone to arbitration and we are going to get a ruling on that soon. We (Brighton) are outsiders. Each club, legally, are able to do that. I don’t think it’s great for the reputation of the Premier League, but these things happen. We have to see how the legal process develops. I don’t think it will be helpful for the Premier League to lose the case, but we are going to find out the outcome soon.

It's telling that not one of these Chairmen, owners or ex-chairmen has the decency to admit that, if these rules are found to be unlawful or discriminatory, the integrity of those who voted for them must be, forever, called into question.

 

[Shaggy]

I expect the headline went something like this…


‘Fucking nonces’.

 

[dawlishdave]

If you've ever watched Shameless, the episode where Frank finally gets on the bog:

"The Eagle has landed".

Best bit when Frank finds a United shirt in his house, classic.

Tony blooms net worth is 1.3b, sounds like somebody is a little jealous that he sits at the kids table during the owners meetings

It's quite clear that apart from Newcastle, all the other clubs in the PL are quite happy to see City's progress stymied in any way possible and are prepared to bend over for the redshirt cabal.

Wonder who they will look to when the PL's actions bite their clubs on the arse? Will fucking serve them right imo.

Do we know how Brighton voted, as that may be what he's alluding to?

I bet they didn't say why? After he said that!

It's pretty difficult to take any chairman at their word if all they are interested in doing is collecting premier league money each year without having a real chance of competing in anything other than the "didn't he do well" cup.

He could always manipulate betting markets to make sure he's never poverty stricken...
