Taking the blue tinted specs off , what business would self inflict damage by removing the crown in the jewel of their business , if the Premier league even issue a nominal punishment it would make the last decade of their "brand" a mockery. Ruining the reputation of the Premeir league just to appease four football clubs is a decision that will cost people their jobs ,not sure if Master's has thought this one through but i am quite sure with our robust denials he is now regretting being the whipping boy for the Rags/Dipper/Goons & Spuds.
An indpendent regulator with absolutely no influence from the greedy mismanaged four clubs has to be a move in the right direction , it would mean the other sixteen clubs will have a voice.
The cartel is ending and they are trying every dirty trick in the book to keep the status quo , but like one of their hit records , they are going to have to "Roll Over and Lay Down" when a government independent regulator is in place
