Andy84 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 (edited) Anyone else notice that when we had “3rd party sponsorship” from Sports Direct precisely no other club gave a flying fuck as we were paid the square root of nothing. Obviously now we’re a threat to their bottom line. All this nonsense about keeping the league competitive man, maintain status quo and fuck the rest is the only game in town. Really hope this succeeds. Edited June 4 by Andy84 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamPS Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Be absolute lols if the related party stuff gets scrapped, and then the clubs who voted for all the FFP restrictions find they are bound by them but PIF can just inject a load of sponsorship. Honestly be so funny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 (edited) They also point to the fact that since February the Premier League’s own legal department has been forced to shift its focus to this claim when it is also trying to prepare for the hearing into City’s 115 charges. “This is clearly a tactic,” the source said.

Aye, so many that are plastered on F1 and formula e cars with massive deals. If the playbook is scrapped we can go wild. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be the main reason for Citys claim tbh. Shifting PLs legal dept away from the 115 charges onto this means they could be distracted and overlook something as part of the 115 charges that they can use to get off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timnufc22 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 5 hours ago, sushimonster85 said: City challenging the associated party sponsorship regulations. If they're successful then the PIF (in theory) could pump money into the club with inflated sponsorships. Apparently plenty of teams supporting City in the action. And you see this as a good thing? Man City have no soul and their success is underpinned by luck of simply landing - completely out the blue - the richest owners. Nothing to do with building their success and building their revenue as a result. Spending crazy money under our new owners like City did pre FFP holds no appeal to me and I assure you the novelty will wear off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after seeing the big 6 / PL try and do everything they can to stop us even remotely getting close to them, so they can share the league / competitions / money between them.. I want them to get fucked and if that would mean us getting sponsored by a Saudi company for a similar amount to a Man U/Man City etc, then so be it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, they can’t muster a proper celebration during trophy parades and when winning the PL doesn’t bring excitement or pride, you know something is deeply wrong and the whole thing is unnatural.

Spending crazy money under our new owners like City did pre FFP holds no appeal to me and I assure you the novelty will wear off. Just to clarify, I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing. I just posted the link then added this message to summarise the story and it's possible implications for us. Personally I agree in part that success based purely on suddenly being the richest side in the world may feel a little hollow. However I ultimately feel I'd likely prefer it from the existential head fuck that is supporting a PL side who's only goal each season is to not finish in the bottom 3 positions. Is football broken? Yes, in so many ways. Will I feel guilty about enjoying being able to support a side who has actual goals like 'winning the league' or 'winning the Champions League' even if it does come with an asterix in the eyes of some/many? Given the alternative, probably not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody but Man United, Liverpool and Arsenal would be able to build anything to challenge Man United, Liverpool and Arsenal except in a freak exceptional season after which they're be plucked bald by them - ironically because of their money having been able to capitalise on the ultra-monetisation of football via things like international fanbases and areas of the country. You might say they got those fanbases for a reason but how is anybody else going to manage the same? Edited June 4 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
