PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

but the PL has a responsibility to ensure that it does not favour one group's sectional interests over those of another. It is a governing body and should "govern" in the interests of all clubs, the game and the fans.

Just to interject here but the Premier League is made up of 20 clubs. Theres no outside ‘governing body’ at present. Its 20 clubs who vote on things and anything with 14 votes or a 2/3rds majority gets passed.

Masters is there to market the PL and see the commercial rights. He doesn’t come up with ideas, any club (ie board member) can raise an issue and have it voted on.

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.

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.

Not forgetting that Masters had additional interveiews with representatives of the rags and dippers before being confirmed as chief executive of the Premier League. He clearly made all the right noises for the shithouses and who can doubt that a witch hunt against City was one of the demands they made as a condition of approving him for the job?

If this is the case, Ziegler must know this. Has he reported on it? Has he fuck.
I don’t know what our defence strategy is but I would be inclined to ask a few pointed questions of Masters and others to give the impression to the panel that it is a pile on v City. If we can show this, we would have ready recourse to a legal appeal to the courts, not just another PL panel.
Of course the KC will only ask if he already knows the answer.
Everton, Forest, Leicester could spill the beans to us.

Masters must know he's totally exposed, the scrutiny is going to fall full square on his appointment, actions, discussions with the usual protagonists/protectionists. He's not a nimble footed enough operator like a Scudamore was, or Bernstein. Totally out of his depth as any mere puppet stooge would be. Must be having sleepless nights at the shit show he's presiding over, albeit as a patsy.
The obligatory knighthood has long gone.
