PL now being sued by PFA?

[halfcenturyup]

Imagine if the TV bidding rights were handled this way.

:) That's a great idea. In the spirit of fair competition, the PL should only get 5x the broadcasting rights of the San Marino FA. Surprised no-one has proposed that, tbh.

Oh wait, it's no surprise. Because the other federations aren't run by fucking idiots.

Masters is deranged. He has declared war on the clubs which invest the most and now the players. How will English clubs compete with teams like Barca and Real Madrid in Europe?

That is irrelevant. The purpose is to secure the amount of money the US investors can take out of their clubs. Competing, winning titles etc. comes second to that. They do not give a fuck as long as their ROI is good. The PL is nothing but a tool to help these investors to keep the revenue coming. The sport comes second.

The Premier League need to stop acting like a Gentleman's/Old boys club and start acting like the multi millionaire pound organisation they are.

Start recruiting honestly, (why did 3 others turn it down before Masters was interviewed by the scum)
Start listening to the legal advice they are given and start acting for all.

At the moment I hope they are burnt to the ground and a professional body emerges from the ashes

this will never happen while you have people like tebas and neville involved in football, these are people who still think football is in the 90s and are desperately trying to stop any progression involved by innovative and forward thinking people.

100% this.

Tbh I don't understand why the PL need any financial rules - if a team enters European competition they need to comply by those rules, so if a team does well enough, they'll then need to reign in spending anyway.

Get rid of PL financial rules and the Uefa financial rules act as a form of 'anchoring' anyway. Clubs not in Uefa competitions could spend and invest as much as they like to try and catch up with the top clubs.

Would save a fortune in legal fees.

I agree. The trouble is without total overhaul they will kill the best league in the world.

If that doesn't frighten the Yanks nothing will.

You've answered your own question there.

They are short-term capitalists so not able to see the bigger picture !
