The Spiteful Nine

Bit tongue in cheek but l do wonder if they had some 'encouragement.'

Or enhancement as some would say.

NUFC takeover-After being asked by the Premier League to provide information about PIF’s independence from the Saudi state, there were guarantees “from the highest possible levels that there would be no state interference in the running of the club”

They believe the Premier League has been “unduly influenced by politically motivated attacks from third parties” and “repeatedly moved the goalposts and the process was devoid of transparency or objectivity”

They suspect some of their top-flight rivals, believed to be Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur in particular, were strongly against the takeover and made their opposition evident to administrators

The “final straw” was the Premier League’s refusal to put a timeline on a decision, whether rejection or approval

Who put pressure on the P.L. to delay their decision?
We have had a lot of luck tbf and we need to up the pressure on the corrupt elements within the game.
The rest of the teams in the football pyramid are counting on us.

It’s never been about a level playing field in domestic leagues though. It’s about level playing fields in the CL which, to a large extent, they’ve achieved. The fact that the early rounds are duller than ditchwater and the same teams play each other on a regular basis, doesn’t matter to the cash cow, even though it’s killed domestic football throughout Europe, England excepted.

Any other club from the usual suspects had been the victim of multiple stitch ups by their rivals especially a group involving god’s own and the coverage would have been relentless, the story would have been given a name and it’s place in football folklore. Anyone heard a peep?

Anyone remember the name of the law firm which all eight wrote to independently.
Who then wrote to Eufa?

I think Arsenal wanted a third party bagman after one of their previous grassing letters on club headed notepaper was leaked
