PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Zabbasbeard]

Yes, this is spot on. Recent events show that the PL is beyond question a regualtroy authority that's both hopelessly compromised by bias and chbronically lacking in even the most basic vestige of competence. That should be treated as a staggeringly newsworthy dvelopment. Nonetheless, sportswriters in the national press demur from exposing the fact.

To pick one execrable piece of journalism out of many, look at Jonathan Wilson in today's Observer. An ostensibly intelligent man, he must have composed that piece with a view to entering it in a competition that shows even Oxbridge graduates to be capable of being absolute, unadulterated, 24-carat fucking morons.

There is a concerted and deliberate attempt to at best cover up the actual reality of how utterly corrupt and biased the Premier League is, and at worst blatantly lie.

annoyingly he is technically right, unlawful isnt illegal but its purely in terms of semantics, i mean if i was to punch delaney in the head in it would be illegal, if i was to lock him in a room with a tiger it would be unlawful.

Either will suffice, mate.

And by all accounts the PL are shitting themselves, that’s the most satisfying thing of all.

I get that many people are on budgets and need to account for every penny.

But not the chief executive of United ffs!

No she was just a tight ****, and it was my money anyway, that’s how fucking right she used to be!!

The frustrating thing with that article (the complete misrepresentation of tyranny of the majority again aside) is that he makes a lot of points I agree with in terms of the distribution of wealth within the game and what it has turned into but then puts the blame at completely the wrong door.

Rich investors and oligarchs haven’t created this. They were drawn to the sport from what football had done to itself, and in particular what the “big clubs” had done in terms of changing the rules of match day allocation, the breakaway in forming the premier league and then the crazy money of the champions league.

Everything he’s accusing us of doing has already been done by them, this is all Franksteins monster. It’s also a strange argument to make in terms of saying that footballs now at its most popular level in fifty years, given that coincides with a period where we’ve been the most successful team, and saying clubs like us are accountable for all the ills…
