Parliamentary Discussion

[Blue Willy]

This morning. Perhaps someone can update us when it actually happens (for those not at home in front of the TV). Perhaps even clip a YouTube when done?

Normally you can see these discussions live on BBC (iPlayer). As this is set for this morning, perhaps a specific thread could be useful as the main thread has another 20 pages each time I pull the site up.

Everton's 10-point deduction by the Premier League has been taken to Parliament after a Liverpool MP called the punishment "grossly unfair".

Ian Byrne, Labour MP for West Derby, has tabled an early day motion (EDM) in the House of Commons which will be laid on Tuesday for other MPs to consider.
Everton received the sanction on Friday after being found to have breached the Premier League's financial rules.

Byrne also called to "immediately establish" an independent regulator.

Can't see it making much of an impact. How many Mp's are going to be concerned by this?

They won't care about us that much but a lot of them want football to be reeled in a bit.

 

[Blue Willy]

All the local ones, a lot of others that know of the power that football has in this nation, and all the ones linked to potential, imminent changes as outlined in parliament/the Kings speech.

Every little helps. And its another thing in rhe public eye and in the news. It also shows we have many different layers of support.

So absolutely it helps.

Will do diddly squat

The UK Gov influenced the PL in getting the Newcastle takeover done. They'll do nothing for us, given whom our owner(s) is.

 

[Blue Willy]

Highlighting our case may help highlight that correct decisions need to be made, and lots of people have got their eyes on them! As we have clearly had an injust punishment, I cant see what the problem is, with people like Andy Burnham saying so in the news and trying to help our cause. They help make it a big thing, not just a little football club thing.

It’s Byrne. Will probably spend the entire time talking about how many of city’s titles should be given to Liverpool.

There'll be about 4 people there.

I wonder if emails will come out in the future around them encouraging the PL to go hard on us because of the Russian connection?

 

[Market trader]

Early Day Motions are rarely debated as no government time has been allocated. MPs can sign the tabled Motion if they approve, or wish to see a debate.

 

[Blue Willy]

Aye, nowt much will happen today, but every little helps.

 

[DanEFC92]

No one will turn up.

Also, If you have a blue willy, please go to the doctors.

Handy evidence for our case though. Masters answers he needs to give are growing by the day.

I don't think its actually discussed is it?
