Classic age old trope. Greed intensifies more and more until the thing eats itself. We’re at the point where football has self-cannibalised one of its arms. As soon as it starts on the foot it’s all over

Viewing figures were down because of the title and relegation being done before the start of April.

this really can’t be doing the Premier League as a brand and a league any good at all. I’ve almost had enough with it all and we just had our best season ever. Viewing figures were already down last season, how many more people will start to turn off? I didn’t grow up loving football for the financial shite to mean more than the actual game on the pitch.

Not exactly a desirable position to be in. Potentially same again without CL next year too.

That’ll show them

Chess would be better if the boards were black and white stripes instead of chequered.

huffs his own farts, ol’ Fab

Set it all on fire and start again, Guy Fawkes it all please so we can get back to actually just following football rather than this fucking nonsense clownshow off the pitch

So a fine as per normal.

How many times it need said? Premier league have tried to close the loop holes and the clubs voted against it. The selling women teams got voted down recently.

That's certainly true, but the current rules have X lawyers defending them, versus the 10X Man City lawyers attacking them. The related party thing had a new vote because City's legal team proved the rules were invalid, and the vote passed because there are still enough status quo clubs out there. Every club that peels off from the status quo will make it difficult for any invalidated rule to be reinstated in a similar format. I'm not the biggest Villa fan, but them voting with the Sky Six on things like this struck me as weird. They can't keep coming up with a Grealish or Duran to sell every couple of seasons.

Only give Chelsea money for their genuine top youths, like we did with Hall. Acheampong and George the current stand outs that are on cusp. Stay away from middling players, even if they could become good. Leave them at Chelsea so they get saddled.

That'll be half of this forum if we don't sign some fucka soon.

Patient pick up from bamburgh ward at st nicks to Rampton.

No - can't give Chelsea another penny

Kudus seems good value at 60M if that's what it is. He's better than Pedro. Lots of dribbly action for anyone fretting about us not beating a low block. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/jun/30/west-ham-open-to-tottenham-offer-for-mohammed-kudus

But if the related party transactions has previously been voted against then that means it's active, for it to be reversed it would require 14 clubs to vote to scrap, which would never happen

PSR died as a serious concept with the hurried passing of the APT rules and the reason for them. It was then it became obvious to everyone it's purpose was to protect some clubs at the expense of others.

Hahahaha hahahaha Alpine enter F1 races.

Villas mess was around £200m,So selling the womens team still means they are fucked?

I’m not blaming Villa at all it’s within the rules but the way their fans are celebrating getting round PSR is very distasteful to me

Didn't Villa vote against us, City, Forest etc. on the related party transactions thing? I seem to remember that vote carrying something like 15 to 5, but if Villa, I dunno maybe Leeds, can be drawn over to the dark side, the Premier League will no longer have the 14 votes it needs to prolong the "craven to the Sky 6" status quo we have at the moment. I think we only need one or two more clubs to switch sides for the voting situation to change.

That would be fair, so the cartel clubs wont vote it in..

What about Mikautadze at Lyon not sure what happened when he went to Ajax? but been banging them in since returning to France. Looks the type of player who can play across the front line and Lyon might be ripe for the taking at the minute.
