PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Levy and Soriano put themselves up last time (2021) for 1 of 3 places.
Soriano had the support of Chelsea and some Spanish clubs.
Levy won and had most support from other PL clubs including United, Liverpool & Arsenal.
Previously (before Super League fiasco) Woodward was the serving PL representative.
So that would suggest we're not going to get a seat on that board this time around?
 
Just makes me think that the our owners/leaders take a different (more strategic) approach to matters than we fans would prefer/think/understand.

Most of us loathe the G-14 and especially the red-shirt members from the PL and want to see out club 'go to war' with them

Here it seems that we are seeing another sign that our management are becoming 'part of the fabric' and finding a 'peaceful' way to take control
Destroy your enemies by making "friends" of them.

In theory he should get the support of other PL clubs. If he is 1 of the 7 elected to the board from the 9 candidates, it is safe to assume he has their support. If he isn't elected then clearly we remain pariahs.

All clubs work out of self-interest. It is in the interest of the other PL clubs to have a PL representative on the executive board.

We still work with the Big 6 when it suits us and them for PL matters. For example the Big 6 wanted an increase in their share of the international tv rights as part of the PL deal. It was 6 v 14 at first and lots of backwards and forwards before a compromise was reached and we got more money.

Prior to Super League fiasco, Woodward and Soriano worked together at the ECA pushing for a greater share of the UEFA TV deal. It doesn;t mean we don't we still hate the fuckers though.

Why not? There are 11 PL clubs attending, maybe the question should be why are the other nine not there?
Soriano is the only PL rep standing for election.
I assume because it's seen as an organisation that primarily meets the needs of the biggest clubs.

A rival for mid-sized and smaller clubs was launched this year, and one club has just been thrown out of the ECA for being a member. I've not seen a members list online, but some of the other PL clubs were reported to have joined, and quite a few were at the launch.
