Cheers.

I still think they will be able to hold sway over the rest of the pack with a 55% majority. After all, they only need to convince another 3 teams to jump on board with their plans. It's certainly going to be an interesting few years.

I know. It's pretty scary. The Yanks pose the greatest existential threat to the fabric of the league and pyramid structure in this country than anything I can remember.

proof more Liverpool fans read the sun than City fans.

But they don't buy the Sun in Liverpool, alledgley.
So why do they still pander to them, it tells you all you need to know about the British press.

Don't the PL need 14 clubs to pass any constitutional changes?

Strictly, 2/3 of votes case, but you're essentially correct
There was at least one vote where someone abstained, and it went through 13-6.

From the PL website:

'The Premier League is a private company wholly owned by its 20 Member Clubs who make up the League at any one time.

Each individual club is independent, working within the rules of football, as defined by the Premier League, The FA, UEFA and FIFA, as well as being subject to English and European law.

Each of the 20 clubs are a Shareholder in the Premier League. Consultation is at the heart of the Premier League and Shareholder meetings are the ultimate decision-making forum for Premier League policy and are held at regular intervals during the course of the season'.

So, essentially 3 more USA owned teams and they can do whatever the f*ck they like.

It's why I desperately wanted Burnley to go down. One less an all that.

And here is another of our favourite twats. This time linking a totally unrelated Mubadala investment to Manchester City "taking from the poorest and neediest to give to Erling Haaland"

The only thing Sheikh Mansour has done wrong is buy the wrong club, if he bought united or Liverpool there would be none of this shite, state owned this and that, human rights bollocks, financial doping crap and most of all no FFP.
It would have been celebrated.

It won't be long before the Americans make this league exactly how they want it. The super league announcement was a tester to gauge reaction, it all seemed very strange how quickly it got announced and how quickly it was stooped. They will find a way.

America is the real evil to English football. That picture with united, Liverpool and arsenal owners speaks volumes to me.

If I remember correctly.. he did try to buy Liverpool but Liverpool's owners kept raising the price. So its their own fault.

I mean its like kane.. we wanted to buy him last summer and they kept raising the price. So we got Haaland instead. But they keep blaming us.

Thaksin's assets getting seized at the time was just wrong thing.. right time kind of thing for City fans.. and as it turned out serendipitous!

Can't blame Shiekh Mansour at all unless they have a very obvious agenda.

Talk about a tenous link. Just another fake news story. Presumably the motive is purely financial because freelances have to make a living.

He knows full well the difference
He's just being a red top cock - sucking gaslighting fucking shill

The Dixi Chicks did a song about gaslightining :-)
