The context was that the committee were saying ‘what about City’ & under pressure he described them as smaller clubs. I thought the DCMS were a disgrace & if that’s all they’ve taken from the meeting you may as well hand it over to Talksport.
Never thought I’d defend that prick Masters but that panel was wank!
I have to much time on my hands because I sat and watched the whole session.
Andy Burnham as an Everton supporter has his fingers all over this and he has too much time on his hands clearly he hasn’t much do do with his day job.
I think it was Damien Green who asked a very much loaded question trying to infer that City weren’t being treated the same way as Forest and Everton ( all trod very carefully re our potential charges )
Masters response was along the lines big clubs were treated the same as small clubs. He actually didn’t mention Forest or Everton by name.
I personally think that Everton supporters have wound themselves up and must have become infected by some sort of victim mentality.
Bear in mind that the committee were interviewing the PL through Masters and the EFL through Parry.
I personally believe that it’s a fact that whilst it’s difficult to say how you measure the size of a football club it’s a fact and we all accept that some clubs are bigger than others. Despite what Everton fans think at this point in time they are not by any measure the size of say Liverpool or City, or Arsenal and maybe it’s my bias Chelsea.
But no it’s all about Everton supporter ego they argue they are a big club and of course they are bigger than Bournemouth or Brentford and of course Salford or FGR so let’s accept they are a big club .
So let’s agree everyone accepts that they and Forest are big clubs. So Masters was right wasnt he ?
That Committee was an absolute shambles they were playing to the crowd with extremely naive questions for instance one of their number talked about Woman’s football she wanted equality but when it came to Parry’s answer she quite simply hadn’t though through the implication of her suggestion.
The biggest fear for me, and I know some thing a football regulator is a good thing , is that these clowns would certainly be involved in the operations of a regulator and love it or hate it at least what we have now to a large degree is an organisation run by the clubs .
