6 + 2 Point Deductions

[JimmyJeffers]

I don’t care what Man City have done, if there’s a battle between City and the Premier League then I’m on Team City.

The PL are a much bigger threat to our existence than City. I want to see them neutered.

No they’re not. Everton will become more of a bit part player to state owned and mega rich clubs and be forced out.

If city have their way it gives a tonne of others clubs carte blanche to do the same.

We need a well run premier league.

Lol, "tyranny of the majority"! I'm not sure they understand the meaning of the word "tyranny". I guess that's what happens when you're owned by actual tyrants.

It almost sounds like something a dictator led undemocratic state would rant

This tells you that Man City has played out the delaying tactics as long as they could and know they are going to get hammered if they don't do something else.

Anything that causes a headache and hopefully unemployment for that masters I’m fully behind

Hard spending and wage caps please. Not related to wealth of owning country or how many shirts you sell in Asia. Reviewable every few seasons.

All I know is am not on Steve Parish and Angus Kinner's side.

I am delighted this is happening.
It lays bare the corruption in football.
Everton and to a lesser degree Forest are severely punished for what are minor offences compared to what City are accused of.
The PL have clearly been unable or are afraid to take on City and this forces their hand.

If the rules governing football are thrown out then do we retrospectively get our points back with the extra money that would bring for a higher placement.
Are we to be compensated for all the negative publicity around the club all season?

Are the rules now to be cherry picked where some still stand but others don't ?

No if the rules are changed because of City going to a real court then we take the PL to the cleaners for what they did to us last season.

That's a novel idea, I must say.

City must be pretty sure that they’ll be found guilty by the panel so they’re taking it to a real court instead

City have been going to the courts over this since 2018.

 

[Hellerad]

The PL exists to make money. It was a collective bargaining tool to increase television revenue.

The question is whether the remainder of the Sky6 support the PL as a whole or use this as their chance to break off into a super league.

If the likes of ManU, RS, Arsenal, and Tottenham side with the PL, this goes nowhere. If not, the PL will surrender to save their revenue.

Man City can’t split off on their own. They need a handful of the other big clubs to make any split viable. If they can’t split, they’ll leverage the civil case to settle the PL charges.

Strange Masters told us the meeting with Man City was arranged, thanks to City agreeing to it. Nothing to see here...

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

City Vs the PL is essentially a Heel program

 

[summerisle]

Penalty to Liverpool.

Agree. But what they are fighting for has nothing to do with our rediculous made up PSR punishments. They simply want related companies in their group to be able to sponsor each turnstile for £4trillion pounds and make that a legitimate increase in their revenue, which spending limits will be based on. Only a couple of clubs will benefit from that change, and whilst most billionaire club owners have other businesses that might say sponsor your training ground for £15m for no good reason at all (ahem), they won’t be able to stick in £500m a year without blinking, and have no intention to ever recoup it.

If they win though, a regulator will have no choice but to base future spending rules on something other than revenue/profit unless they want it to be literally impossible for any non-sovereign state owned team to get within 20 points of the title, forever. Would seem obvious, but where there are palms to be greased….

Shouldn’t be based on restricting spending imho anyway.
Should be maximum squad and development squad numbers to prevent the best talent being hoovered up by one or two clubs.
Should be a fund set up where owners have to set aside enough dough to see ‘their’ club survive long enough to reduce all debts to manageable levels the event of unforeseen circumstances affecting ability to meet debts.
