Honestly man, the sport is so fucked off the field it’s beyond repair. It’s just going to be endless litigation from now on with all parties involved

Many may accuse the Saudis of sportswashing. But the Americans are literally washing away the Premier League with their own brand of detergent and it stinks !

So Liverpool will sue Man City because they broke the rules to win titles ?? Can they only sue for the seasons they finished second ?

No one loves a lawsuit more than the Yanks. I’d wager they’re the worst force in trying to change football as a “product”

Shitbags will be pulling for super leagues, extra overseas games, a franchise model and all sorts of contemptible shit from their own closed shop plastic sports.

That was allways the plan, Once the Cartel 6 had Masters in place the League was doomed

Sadly I think a Premier League game taking place in the USA is only a matter of time

This is why we need an independent regulator, it ensures the ‘yankie doodle do’ lot don’t control our league.

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.

Still no verdict from the city related party case right?

I thought that there had been.  The issue is that it is confidential - the first time we'll get anything confirmed is via any changes to the PL rulebook.  So far, no changes.

I get the feeling the media shot the load a bit early and it was speculation given the lack of any detail  on any of the reporting around it.

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

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).

I’d expect any ruling to favour either side because the status quo is basically the premier league way so no amendment. = PL won imo. 
 

Im sure a more fleshed out story detailing this will leak though.

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.
