TRon Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 The thing that shines through is the passion Man U and Liverpool have for remaining the big boys but in an even more screwed up way, not the passion they have for the football pyramid. The way Parry talks about them is the way tories say they care about poor people and the north The thing that shines through for me is the passion Rick Masters and the PL have to endorse the Man U/Liverpool hegemony. But I guess they are the ones currently holding the pursestrings, they are always going to call the shots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 It becomes increasingly clear why certain clubs were opposed to our takeover. With one eye on this and be fully prepared to throw their toys out of the pram if they don’t get what they want. Saudi money would take the PL in a totally different direction to where they want to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess they are the ones currently holding the pursestrings, they are always going to call the shots. Rick Parry has been trying to force this through in anyway. A couple of months ago he was saying clubs shouldn’t get a parachute payment and the EFL don’t need Premier League money. He has pushed through a wage cap for the bottom 2 leagues and has proposed one for the Championship, which would ensure Championship clubs could never build a squad capable of competing in the Premier League again. He has also over seen the awful takeovers of various clubs in the EFL. He’s effectively chucked out Bury by not giving them the opportunity to play games and gain income after approving their awful owner. He has seen Wigan get taken over then within a month, placed into admin for a bet and then approved the points deduction against them, then the whole Charlton thing. Anyone thinking he’s a saviour for smaller clubs is sadly mistaken. He wants less clubs, and I think he wants B teams instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Absolutely disgusting. On the brightside, good that fans of other clubs can now join us in hating the Premier League and the big boys. Hope their twitter gets spammed to death. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Another ludicrous story within that, is Rick Parry actually stating his on-record support for the plans, then subsequently revealing he hasn't bothered to consult EFL clubs or fans about them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I'm not surprised, seeing as thought the proposal said that the top 6 (9) could decide to get rid of the Chief Exec if they wished to Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponsors pay his wages, they're getting fed up (Tag have walked) and won't be happy about seeing millions of fans pissed off again, week after week, decision after decision.

GeordieDazzler Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Last paragraph of the BBC article showing this for what it is. Money trumps everything. There is no mention of Aston Villa and Newcastle United, both of whom have featured in more Premier League campaigns than Manchester City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandy Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 This also backs up Staveley's reveal about how the PL were giving her assurances that the takeover would go through early on, only for them to do a u-turn in May. Pretty obvious now that the dippers & Manure stuck their oar in & Masters & co are terrified of them. In a way this also gives credence to the theory that the PL want the takeover decision taken out of their hands by a court. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like the objecting clubs can just go and play in a different league (not yet, at least) That’s what I mean. I’m meaning Staveley’s accusations are certain clubs were an outside influence to the takeover being stalled/not passed. These plans are pretty much proof of that. Makes Ashley’s legal case a lot more stronger surely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
