I feel like it's going to fail, but I also don't understand what happens if it does. This can't live in limbo forever as what happens when a club brings a new sponsorship forward.

If the Tribunal state that the current law is unlawful (they have been requested to confirm) and the vote fails (likely), then it's open season as their will be no rules to stop clubs making sponsorship deals

Would that do the job we want?

Think we need 7, or they need 14 to pass it. However if it’s deemed unlawful as city claim, then I’m not sure it matters.

If the vote isn't passed then surely it creates an entirely anarchistic type situation for the Premier League and I'd presume its member could theoretically write to the governing body (The FA? UEFA? FIFA?) To give it a vote of no confidence.

 

I mean that may seem a little extreme. However, it's what's needed in reality.

 

Said reform could take months or years.

In theory, but imagine the uproar if we immediately tried to push something through that was inflated. Would be chaos.

Nothing to stop us though or city as there would be no lawful rule in place

You'd like to think (as a neutral with the best interests of the game at heart) there'd be a legal alternative provided to prevent absolute chaos from reigning irrespective of the vote on Friday.

 

Like surely there cannot be only one plan. If so, then my God the PL really are an absolute farcical laughing stock of thieving, greedy, lickspittles.

Very reasonable request from Villa, quite why these corrupt cunts want to push through a vote without the tribunals clarification beggars belief. 
 

The red tops and Levy will push for it to go through, just needs another club on top of those mentioned, possibly Everton though doubtful with new American owners.

I’m convinced the vote will pass on Friday.  The premier league have been working with clubs to find rules that they are happy with.  The deferral of the interest free loans appears so obviously unlawful but it will be there to win votes.  Everton, for example ,with that rule that suits them may vote for the rule when otherwise they would not.  The whole process just seems flawed.  

 

There does not appear to be any “punishment” for having unlawful rules.  The premier league has had them for what?  18 months?  If the vote passes everyone will have to conform to the new rules lawful or not.  Man City will start another case.  It will take a year.  Let’s say they say it is unlawful again, then what?  Rinse and repeat?  This appears to be the premier leagues tactics, get rules in place that 16 clubs agree with whether they are lawful or not.

...and they've been known to kick the can down the road.

 

Genuine question though...who governs the Premier League? The FA and English/European law in the first instance(s)?
