The bending of PSR rules

[Damo_1878]

He really said that?

Nothing to see here. Dices not loaded, even play field and stuff...

Ridiculous.

Yeah he has given another interview, where the comments are coming from claiming the top 6 clubs are "disadvantaged" as they are not getting the say they are due. Essentially

Seems these comments are from a longer interview

It's s brazen power/influence grab and lobbying the Premier League by trying to get media people to magnify what he is saying

 

[MACCA75]

Yeah, my bad.

He's well worth it after a good season in the Championship.

Meanwhile Dobbin is never worth 10M.

Guess Masters is right after all....

Ipswich are paying the money, so obviously feel he’s worth it. No PSR swap involved.

I never thought there would be a chance I could hate a club as much as Liverpool but the way this Ratcliffe tool is carrying on he’s going to make Man U the most hated club on the planet.

 

[Damo_1878]

The only good thing is that we don't seem to be being run as an amateur hour boys club anymore

Serious owners who hopefully won't put up with this patronising rubbish and will fight for the club

The Friedkin's won't put up with this nonsense and are wealthy enough to fight it

 

[Tipp blue]

Genuinely intrigued as to how he sees them being disadvantaged?

Disadvantaged to him would be being treated the exact same way as the rest, what he really means is that the PL have to make sure that the 6 don't lose their advantage.

What his goal seems to be in these interviews is to create the media narrative that Sky 6 deserve more influence + power and the media will demand that, and Premier League will implement it saying "the fans want it"

See VAR and other things

It's classic politicking

Jim Ratcliffe is hoping for a luke warm reaction and not for other clubs/owners in the 14 to fight back

If there is a luke warm or non react that is what he will get.

It's lobbying / politicking. Publicly

Didn't believe this at first.

But that is Bad ....Really Bad
He's just marked his card right there.

100% tory talk

Newcastle are definitely flapping over a points deduction

It's the sort of strategy you see in Westminster and in the European Parliament or US Congress

You can see exactly what he's doing with these interviews and he is banking on the opposition (the 14 clubs) being divided and the media will do his work for him

Watch the headlines ongoing that the poor old Sky 6 deserve more say. Are the victims. That then lead to the Premier League bowing to his request

Classic lobbying

Yes but the problem is the other teams they are looking to swap with have already managed to sell, so will hold an advantage and push a deal as late as they can. Not sure Elanga is the world class winger Newcastle were looking for.

There is an old saying….”when one is used to privilege, equality feels like oppression”.

Very apt if this is the way United are going to behave with this whopper at the helm..
