Just the absolute audacity of them calling for this after how Mike Ashley has used us for Sports Direct. Hope the PL tell them where to go.

Meh, they only cry foul when it doesn't suit them. Going to be loads more similar self-perceived grievances to come. 

 

I will just watch the show and enjoy my gourmet popcorn, knowing that there's nothing significant they can do to stop us from finally progressing.

It’s glorious how the PL are coercing with the other teams to keep applying  pressure against nufc. Shitting their pants. 

 

I’d be threatening to spill the beans on the whole CAT case if that’s the path they continue on. Take the corruption down.

Interesting how we were being talked down to over Project big picture proposals, now they’re shit scared. Aye we still might be relegated again even this year but the point still stands.

The nerve of these clubs and the PL man, rotten to the core. You can tell they are genuinely shit scared we can now blow them all out of the water for their top targets, their own top players and future income they have a monopoly on. Fuck them all!

What were we consistently told by others?!  "It's Mike Ashley's club, he owns it and he can do what he sees fit with it.  If he wants to advertise and change the name of the stadium then it's up to him, he owns it".

 

The hypocrisy of it all.

Shame there's not a sackpardew-esque website loaded with all of this type of hypocrisy and other contradictions now that our owners benefit us, as opposed to when our owner was purposefully holding us back.

It is concerning the depths the Premier League and other clubs seem willing to go to prevent us growing and succeeding. How far does it go... Eventually filtering down into biased refereeing? 

 

Everything is based on fear anyway. Our new owners haven't said or done anything to confirm they are going to be spending the sort of money that the media are suggesting. They have all just assumed based on their wealth. 

We all hope ofcourse. 

 

But this sponsorship rule is so blatant considering they have all stood by and watched other clubs do this for years and allowed Mike Ashley to take the piss out of us.

UEFA would have to approve the rules apparently and if they did it would have to be across Europe.

Good luck passing that, we aren’t talking just the fact that it would be shit for PSG here, but Dutch and German clubs would be absolutely fucked if that type of sponsorship isn’t allowed.

I would hope (and expect) that there will be a legal letter from a certain anti-competition QC landing at the Premier League's doorstep this week. This is blatantly anti-competitive and has to be challenged immediately.

Given that Man City voted with Newcastle against the proposals is there anything to prevent the Abu DhabiGroup companies from sponsoring Newcastle and PIF companies sponsoring City?

 

:lol: The PL's very own axis of evil. That'd go down a treat, I imagine.

They're playing a dangerous game, because since FFP came into force there seems to have been a lot of speculation in legal circles as to whether it would hold up to challenge under competition law.

 

If they push Man City and us into doing that they might end up with there being no FFP rules at all.

Whatever next.

 

Emergency Premier League rule that says any club who plays in black & white stripes isn't allowed to change its manager. 

 

 

 


think that went through last week.

I’ve always thought that transfer windows could be open to legal challenges too.

And the restriction on joining other competitions without PL approval clearly is. That's why the government had to threaten legislation to stop the ESL.

 

I think there's probably a lot of stuff in the rules that relies on the compliance of the clubs because it wouldn't hold up if legally challenged.

You’re going to see this sort of thing a lot over the next few months. The clubs are going to act out, stamp their feet and generally make a massive amount of noise. Realistically though this is shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted. They’re very limited as to what they can do to have any sort of meaningful, longer term impact on our ability to compete.
