PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

That 'Arsenal letter headed demand' from the 4 clubs from a while back and posted earlier in this thread, tells you everything you need to know about the collusion that is taking place in this apparent democracy of a PL.

As in most 'democracies', there is a small group that sits at the top table and pretty much dictates how the 'democracy' works.

Also, as in most 'democracies', the plebs (read that as 'fans' in this case) are kept at bay by propaganda fed to, or created by, a partisan press, which results in most uneducated people swallowing the lies and treating it as the truth.

All of this will NEVER stop until either the old guard get their way, or so much time passes that the younger generations of non-old guard club fans begin to outnumber their adversaries in positions of relative power.

In fact the 2020 letter was signed by nine clubs (including Arsenal). The others were: Spurs, LFC, MUFC, Chelsea, Newcastle, Leicester, Wolves, and Burnley. It went direct to CAS in March 2020 before they had even started their main deliberations. According to the CAS documents the clubs "opposed any stay of execution" for City on the UEFA sanctions. So those clubs wanted us to be banned from europe and heavily fined even before the appeal had been heard. It is hard to imagine anything more unethical than a group of commercial rivals trying to intervene in a supposedly impartial legal process. I wonder if Richard Masters was copied in.

Masters and the board members have key influence and he has close relationships with certain Directors. You can be sure that the ongoing legal strategy against City is not being put to a vote of all 20 clubs at every twist and turn. Meanwhile someone from the PL (or in the loop with the legal case) is still passing information to sections of the media. The evidence suggests that the PL is effectively being run by a small clique. That's what members of the Commons Select Committee appear to believe and some of the other PL clubs seem to have finally woken up to what is going on. Masters is the CEO not the marketing executive, that was his old job.

The “board members” number 20 in total. Each club is supposedly an equal board member.

I think he's referring to the letter on Arsenal headed notepaper from 2012
 
theres an article floating about this morning saying we should have a 690 point deduction and be relegated, but heres the kicker when we get back in to the prem each time we start on negative 690 points so you start the season already relegated and then work the points off......


Crazy how much people are desperate for city to be found guilty. It really does show mob mentality is not just in person but is digital too.

I was referring to the PL Board of Directors, chaired by Alison Brittain (a prominent MUFC supporter).

Uneducated doesn't necessarily mean stupid. Many of these planks have professional qualifications but wouldn't dream of letting the good fortune and advantage given to them interfere with their prejudice against anything they don't like.

The clubs are shareholders if I am not mistaken. They vote on key decisions in general meeting. The board is made up of an executive chairman, a CEO and a few non-execs. The CEO afaik is responsible for running the PL how he sees fit, subject to key decisions being approved in general meeting. Is that not right?
