Meh

So what happens if you lose the case? All the trophies get given to whoever came second?

No, the Premier League and a lot of the bigger clubs (United, Liverpool, Arsenal etc..., probably even us) don't want an independent regulator.

So the Premier League are trying to show the government that they can be firm and don't need a regulator. To be honest I don't think the government really want to bring in a regulator either because they know how much money (tax etc...) the league brings into the country and they would rather not disrupt that. They're just trying to come up with an amicable solution to the ESL nonsense.

So this timing is convenient given the independent regulator decision has no been delayed.

Thanks mate. Gotcha.

And they won at CAS!
Maybe they know something more than you do about this subject

Yes eventually they won at CAS, and I'm sure they know more about the subject than any of us.

It doesn't change the fact that someone who tells you the same thing every single time is not hugely helpful.

Modern day football is shit anyway, league 1 sounds exciting again doesn't it?

might finally get a home Boxing Day fixture again!

Yep - Stoke won the FA Cup after all

It won’t me either but The whole thing is starting to make me doubt whether my time and emotional energy may be better spent on something else to be honest. It’s not this alone as I am sure it will drag on for years but the overall way the game is going. Players faking injury all game, the cheesy matchday experience, outrageous ticket prices, VAR ruining the moment, game dates and times being shunted around left right and centre, awful referees, the money sloshing around and fans being treated like customers. It also seems whatever we do that this accusation of cheating to get where we have will be with us forever regardless of whether it is true or not. This might even be why they are doing this. Mud sticks and reputation is damaged. I’m becoming very disilluised with the whole football experience, the clear media bias towards the two red sides and have not enjoyed going as much more recently.

My dad's 70 now. I've never ben to a match without him.
I think when he isn't here anymore my love for the game will go with him due to the way the sports has gone.

I'm tired of all the allegations etc. It's gone beyond banter now. I wish the club would sue everyone for slander tbh.

Because the Hateful Eight have demanded the PL go after City. I sense the PL don't want/need this, but if your "founding members" demand their competition back, what can the PL do?

If they piss off the red shirt mafia & they threaten to setup a new English Super League (Essentially the PL under new ownership/stewardship), how else could the PL react?

This has taken it to another level, if there is even remotely a vendetta, then if we are found innocent it will bring the whole PL down, and we will sue the fuckers for everything.

I'd say it's the opposite. What I get from that statement is "bring it on you corrupt cunts".

I hope you are right

Something I didn’t support then and I hope they have no involvement now.

We can pretty much guarantee they're involved now too. They've been one of the biggest drivers to all the hassle with the PL from the beginning.
