An independent regulator will do fuck all. The cartel clubs will just say that it makes it more likely that the rest of the pyramid gets trickled down money, and all of a sudden it will be given the green light. I’m not convinced that they wouldn’t end up giving the key people in charge of the regulator loads of perks to get them inside as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely - I commented earlier in the thread that there was a lot of 2 + 2 = [insert number here] going on from the football press on the day the news 'leaked', followed by fevered backpedaling. My suspicion is that if it was seismic it likely would have leaked out - my guess would be that the ruling isn't a 'win' for either party Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted Friday at 05:52 Share Posted Friday at 05:52 There's lots and lots of commentary re commercial law etc, but football generally doesn't stack up vs commercial or employment law. Where else can you be held to a multiple year contract with a buyout beyond the means of any individual employed? Football's player registration system isn't in line with general employment law. But it still exists (and has been pushed back in the past, via the Eastham and Bosman cases). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegans Export Posted Friday at 05:58 Share Posted Friday at 05:58 If the verdict had been fully in favour of Man City, they'd have to tell the other clubs. You can't have only one being privy to a change in the sponsorship rules and not the other 19. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, although it could be the case that the ruling required limited amendment to the rules, which would not be a 'win' for either side. Ultimately, the clubs are members of the PL and sign up voluntarily - the don't have to play in it. I'd still be mildly surprised if the adjudicators simply told the PL to tear up the rules that the vast majority of their members willingly voted through. It is an incorporated association.
