I want you to name them, because as soon as you do, the idea that the entire league is built and organised around benefitting them crumbles.You seem like a bright bloke, I'm sure you can work it out.
It's complete madness. The same posters will be in the politics thread later compliaining bitterly about the BBC or OFCOM but they're in here begging for a football version.It's touching to see the faith on here that an independent regulator is going to make a fundamental change to how the PL is run.
The difference is that the PL is a group of 20, not a group of 72 spread across 4 divisions and the Premier League has shown itself to be incredibly successful under it's own governance.
They've been putting self interest over wider issues for 30 years and it's made them the most successful football league in the world.
You want to pretend that the Premier League is incapable of running itself because, but what evidence is there for that? Is it not more successful than any other sports league? Is it not growing quicker? Is it not the most competitive of the big football leagues? Where is it failing?
Those cosy lunches between the dippers and the rags discuss current art and science issues, I understand.Again you're just copying and pasting buzzwords.
It's a cartel? Who is? The entire league or the the clubs that you're convinced are running things and yet have won 1 of the last 10 league titles?
The issue with the PL making the rules is that they are clearly not impartial under the baleful influence of the redshirts. The ‘associated‘ rule and the group rules were clearly aimed at us.
Will they, can you provide evidence of this? Show me.I want you to name them, because as soon as you do, the idea that the entire league is built and organised around benefitting them crumbles.

That's a good point - I'm working on the cosy assumption that an independent regulator would function effectively. The ones you mention seem to have encouraged price fixing rather than competition and been toothless to address failings so perhaps not the utopian solution we'd hope for. After these trumped up charges against us and the desperate way the pl have tried to shackle our spending I'm thinking any alternative may be at least slightly less bentThe issue with the PL making the rules is that they are clearly not impartial under the baleful influence of the redshirts. The ‘associated‘ rule and the group rules were clearly aimed at us.
The rules must be justifiable as genuine efforts at fair competition and as protection for clubs against rogue chairmen. That is the problem with UEFA ffp, the G14 simply refused to accept any regulation of debt and that has skewed them ever since.
Against that, I take your point on current regulators: look at OFWAT and their failure on sewage spillages, for example.
So you are not going to answer then?If you're not going to answer a simple question when asked twice, stop replying, there's obviously no point to this conversation.
Remind me, is that the redshirts that have won 1 of the last 10 Premier League titles between them?
They're the ones controlling everything are they? The club in 7th?
And the associated rule that you're certain is aimed at us, was that brought in 6 months after our takeover to cripple our progress? Or was it brought in 15 years later when we'd already won 7 league titles, but 6 months after Newcastle's takeover?
