New PL Commercial rule passed (pg4) | City rumoured to be questioning the legality

[salfordbluetrue]

Would have thought it was Newcastle with the legal challenge. but whoever well done, can you believe it the PL adopting yet another illegal rule, what governing body repeatedly take up illegal practices and stay in power.

How important to us is the restriction being voted in on transfers between associated parties? Will this affect the potential Savio deal? I understand why much is being made of the sponsorship angle but is the multi club football model being stymied by the PL just as it's really about to benefit us?

More than half the clubs in the PL own another club, the PL have no authority over any club outside the PL, the % is what matters but who decides what the % is, nearly every Director holds shares in the club and the sponsors, it is a cesspit that they could never ever police, even if it was legal.

Jesus Christ, I just want to watch my football team kick a ball about for 90 mins have a couple of pints and go home

So let me get this right.
If you’re English you can have English sponsors.
If you’re American you can have American sponsors.
But if you’re brown you can’t have brown sponsors.
Cunts!

I posted this last September. This vote is another staging post ticked off, with the ultimate aim of the USA gaining control of the game.



"As the 10th Premier League club falls into American ownership, the focus on City and Newcastle plays blindly into the hands of hedge funds, leveraged buyouts and corporate America.

A Trojan horse is being driven into the very heart of English football, in plain sight. The days of drafts, franchises and World Series will soon be upon us, of that I'm sure. The meritocracy will disappear and our great game will disappear into its own arse.

Think about this for a while. If Leeds, Ipswich and Birmingham get promoted and no American owned clubs are relegated, THIRTEEN Premier League clubs will then be American owned. Leaving only one more club to fall and hey presto, the 14 club threshold is achieved. A sprinkling of USA stardust has recently arrived in Birmingham. Coincidence? Maybe. Part of a concerted effort to get another American owned club into the Prem? You decide, but never underestimate the hidden tentacles of Wall Street.

In my opinion that 14th club has already been earmarked as the final piece of the jigsaw, in place, good to go. Already hyped to fuck in the USA, friend of the NFL, multiuse/multisport stadium in the most romantised all-Americanised capital city in the world. NYC brothers from across the pond. The Hotspurs of Tottingham have been flashing their knickers at corporate America for years.

Once Spuds is bought, game over.

Meanwhile, the gutter press will still be salivating about our 115 charges, still placing an asterix against our achievements, still waxing lyrical about the red-shirts, whilst the game is stolen from under our very feet.

Look forward to a cook-out and pretzels at Mary D's in the not too distant future.

Hell yeah"

Perhaps it’s two thirds of those that voted

Exactly, so if say 14 abstained, it would only need 4 clubs to have a rule passed. It should be a 2/3rds vote of all clubs, for the motion to approve change.

Because by its very nature, if you think the league are voting on something that breaks the law, you stay well away from it.

But the club had already been involved in the discussions around the new rules, presumably. If they wanted to distance themselves from something they thought was illegal, they should have walked out? How does abstaining show you were against it, if you are worried about some sort of legal complicity? Surely clearly voting against is more appropriate?

The law is a mystery to me sometimes.

The most valuable football franchise in the world……..and these cunts are trying to kill it

Absolute insanity

True, utter madness, check out how rugby union is going, salary caps so all the talent goes abroad were the players can earn the big bucks, ditto women's football were City keep haemorrhaging talented players because they can earn a hell of a lot more abroad.

Good. You can't allow for multiple multi-million long term global investments to be made and then suddenly change the rules and say "we don't want to allow them anymore because certain clubs who are used to having all the advantages in the world won't benefit from them" without expecting a legal challenge.

Don't give them an inch.

,,,, and then change the rules and back date the implementation.... more charges incoming.

Every week there’s something else.
I’m fucking sick of this legal bullshit and how we need to be fucking lawyers to understand it all.

I just want to watch our wonderful team play wonderful football. Simple.

It’s just getting on my tit-end.
