The fact that The Premier League makes these appointments is completely backwards. They are the ones making the accusation, they should have no control or input into the trial process. They are acting as judge, jury and executioner. Nothing about this process is independent. Add to that the fact that, the way the organisation exists today, The Premier League really is just it's own member clubs, i.e. our direct rivals, and it amounts to a massive conflict of interest.
Much the same problem as the Post Office having it's own powers of prosecution.
There's been a problem with corporate incest in the governance of football for a long time. The game in general needs a huge shake-up in how it's run, and who runs it.
PL isn’t even a decent members club. 3 or 4 members wield all the power and tell the other 16 what’s good for them.
