Leads to it going to court if the complainants have the balls and can afford it. Letter Before Action very rarely leads to action in my experience, and I've seen plenty of them.

There's some astonishingly distant dots being joined at the minute like (for the record I still believe something is going on, but I don't believe there's anything like enough information in the public domain for us to do anything but #wait and see)

Admiring HTT's restraint here, mind

I miss the close analysis of air traffic coming out of Riyadh personally

Would be fucking class to be shot of them and the shite that comes with being The Best League In The World

Because its Fucking Great News and we want it to be true

Find it hard to believe that anybody ever thought the shameless power grab would just pass by as an essential facet of reforming English football. Like literally the only way to make the rest of their genuine and munificent suggestions work is to also concentrate future decision making power into six clubs at the very top

That would be Penn. Guess he just posted the information on the wrong forum all along

Mostly of their own making, to be honest

what a fucking shambles. I hope everybody involved in the whole shabby affair is outed and publicly pilloried for it.

They couldn’t find anyone to do it IIRC. they did have two people lined up to do it, first one decided not to take it up after accepting it for whatever reason. Second one had to withdraw after some allegations about his private life ended up in a red top. First one declined because they knew that Saudi Arabia were coming in for Newcastle and couldn't face the grief, imo second one probably leaked the allegations himself when he found out the same thing, preferring to destroy his own private life than be stuck between Saudi Arabia and Liverpool FC, once again The Most Important Team In The Country And Don't You Forget It

I don't know, there's a world of difference between legitimately putting forward a fundamental structure change which appears to be motivated solely by self-interest, and proving that the same sort of thing just went on in the background anyway. I know what you mean but this really proves nothing more than the usual suspects have got some serious delusions of grandeur, which comes as no surprise to any of us.

I guess if enough teams were stupid enough to vote it in under the current arrangements then there's not a lot more can be done. It's not like the objecting clubs can just go and play in a different league (not yet, at least)

PL are having a spectacular year

Crikey I agree with Stan's original assessment; if the meaning is clear then what's the problem? It's just not the case that if you're not writing in correct and formal English then your point is invalidated. Some people just make mistakes; some people are just lazy; some people genuinely can't do it. If you're getting irritated when people, for whatever reason, don't come up to your own personal level of what constitutes good English, even if their point is perfectly well made and clear, then it's you that has the real issue Anyway, about that 2021 deadline

I'm not sure i want this saga to ever end, I'd miss the thread too much

that is one top quality low level curse right there

The Newcastle Online detectives were closing in on him, had to go to ground for a bit

I vote we rename the site wildextrapolationsfromverylimiteddata-online.org

PL have been awfully quiet since NUFC appointed the legal heavyweights about March. fixed

Seconded. Thread is not the same when folk aren't posting about every flight out of Riyadh
