Funny that statement regarding integrity, secrets don't maintain integrity, transparency does

EPL would want to get on top of the story act swiftly and be confident in initial ruling. The delay makes me believe they have made an absolute mess of it and don't know what to do. Whatever they do the hole they have dug for us has ended up with them in it... (I hope)
I've been thinking about this, and I think the problem is they are a lazy organisation that's never been tested.
They've sat there for decades, getting fat on the TV money, benefiting from the football the clubs play and the global appetite for it without actually doing anything.
They have never had to be intelligent or thoughtful about anything.
Success has come with next to no effort.
I don't know whether it's arrogance or ignorance - or a combination of the two - but now they find themselves having to make an intelligent and nuanced decision about how best to enforce these rules without the tools to do so.
They clearly don't have the capability to do that within their lazy, hubristic corporate culture.

As much as I thought Scudamore was a slimy get he was a very skilled political operator managing to gain consensus behind the scenes…he would never have let this situation get this far.
Seems like the premier League is waiting for the Pogba transfer to be finalized.
Yeah, I guess he was the standout.
He helped get them where they are - and Masters has waltzed in thinking everything is easy and they'll never have to exercise any intelligence.
“The first domino.”
To be fair I said last week I thought it would be a Friday announcement.
I was wrong last week, so I'm going to say it will be a Friday. Just not sure which Friday.

Masters was 4th choice as the other 3 preferred candidates turned it down
Masters also worked for the RS and Utd

We should be able to be concentrating the normal footy stuff like Saturdays game with Brighton, and other matches to come, what injuries we have, who Dyche will pick, tactics.
Dunno about you all but this normal stuff is the last thing on my mind due to the farce of the premier leagues making.
I felt like that for the first time against palace, inside the ground, and I think the players did for the first time - kind of detached from the action and unfocused due to this mess, who can blame them or us really.
Hope Dyche can find a way to refocus them as they are gonna have to do it on the pitch starting on Saturday
I am really starting to hate whatever this sport is supposed to be - it isn't football.

Friday is usually the day you make people redundant. If it's tomorrow, it'll be bad news.
V creative.

Friday afternoon news dump seems like the obvious way to go here for the league to avoid as much attention as possible.
Things will be uncomfortable for them no matter the result of the appeal and they will prefer to press send, turn their phones off and head to the pub.
