I'm not going to listen to it again :-), but from memory sshe said the regulator wouldn't get involved in the day to day running (assumed she meant sponsorships etc) of the PL, but would get involved in the redistribution of monies to the lower leagues to try to ensure their sustainability.
I think she was talking about the PL rules that we've been alleged to have broken. Offside is under Laws of the Game. I didn't hear her mention those

Making sense yet talking about the FA not the premier league with regards to the charges and the regulator not getting involved in the rules of the game when discussing the charges and I assume financial sustainability yet later on says regulators sole aim is financial sustainability so will have to get involved in how clubs spend. The rules of the of the game is like offside yet she thinks they are financial etc. saying that UEfA won’t allow the regulator to get involved in this frankly UEFA can do one the nation state takes precedence over UEfA besides the charges are from the premier league. She is clueless

I think she means that uefa won't allow the regulator to get too involved in governance and if they do will put sanctions on clubs (like not being allowed to compete in European competitions). It's what uefa/fifa have done in the past (Greece etc)

Paddy Power rip the piss out of absolutely all of the big clubs, and do so mercilessly. I think it's hilarious tbh.

For example they have already paid out on Celtic winning the league and robbing the rangers fans in Scotland.

It's what they do.

Don't take anything they say as malicious, city-focused, indicative of the result or anything other than a drive to get clicks, punters and brand awareness. It will be the rags when they lose their first game, arsenal the same etc etc. Stop being so precious ffs

I work for a competitor of PP and couldn't agree more, their marketing strategy is genius and must be a lot of fun to be part of.

Today was the obvious date. Could be this time next year now.. although I’m starting to come round to the idea it’ll never be announced

Will be a weekday for sure. It wouldn't surprise me if a date and time with a link to where it can be viewed is announced ahead of time. I can't imagine it will just randomly appear.

Governments are not supposed to get involved in sport in terms of things like the rules of side etc or politically interfere like making a team champions but I would like to see UEFa try and go up against government of financial sustainability. I am not sure how it’s going to work to be fair as PSR or whatever isn’t going and the regulatory doesn’t have the budget main aim seems to be make sure clubs don’t do super league or move 200 miles change name badge etc but clearly it will also have a role over finance

At about 3 mins 50 she said a regulator would not have got involved in our case and should not be involved in the rules of the game) so she conflates the offside etc with FFP PSR. Then later she says that regulator will be about sustainability. Isn’t our case supposed to be about breaches of rules that are supposed to be about sustainability. Perhaps she just let the cat out the bag and that FFP was nothing to the sort.

I get that FFP PSR or whatever probably won’t go and I don’t think the regulator has said it will replace it and it doesn’t have the budget for a case like city but surely it couldn’t let something like this happen again

Perhaps one of the experts can weigh in on where the divide is between premier league and regulator

I don’t what else a Regulator will do other than regulate the way the sport is run and that will have to include the sort of circus of corruption we have seen in the 115 case. Perhaps Brady, like Levy, still doesn’t get it. The Regulator was brought in because of the super league breakaway bid and the corrupt behaviour of the leading clubs.

How many times she repeated " these are really series charges " ?

I feel those pundits don't want to club to be relegated only, they also want the club to go to hell.

Take all their titles, their money, and convert their stadium into a prison.

Three times she mentions a variation of that but always at appropriate times to explain why it's a long process. Brady isn't a pundit she's vice chairman of a premier league club. I honestly didn't have a problem with anything she said, her main point was wanting an accurate outcome as opposed to a fast one, I couldn't agree more.
The presenters are idiots as usual, comparing the speed of VAR with the speed of this process and making the common man mistake of thinking the FA are somehow involved in the charges. As ever I think people with a background in law/business/arbitration should be discussing this not people in football.

As Brady sits in the house of lords not only does she get it she has also voted on how the regulator will work and has had a hand in shaping the bill. I expect she knows more about it than you and I, I fukin hope so at least.

I think the answer is to never believe anything anyone says unless it's under oath. Certainly not if it's on Talksport.

People on here taking what this woman says as gospel about the PL / EFL settlement is mind-blowing.

She stuck the knife into Rick Parry though when she said their offer was not even shared with the EFL clubs. It looks like the EFL is run in a similar way to the PL. A total lack of transparency.
