    Oh tees - if only the world was as simple as you would like it to be.

    Let’s forget George W Bush - or Obama - or even Hillary… Let’s focus on just one man - Tony Blair.

    A wrap sheet far larger and order of magnitude more significant - and the guy is a knight of the realm - and pulling the strings of his puppet PM Starmer.

    Pep thinks everyone else in the Premier League wants the jizzers to be punished.

    I'm not sure that is the case.
    Everyone wants the truth about the massive sums of money that have been (illegally!?) thrown at City to enable them to win trophies.

    I think everyone who thinks they have been cheating wants them punished and pretty much everyone thinks they’ve been cheating.

    Still furious with BT as far as I’m aware there hasn’t been another round of bidding for Chsmpions League rights so the only explanation I can see is BT sold their rights to some games to Amazon outside the once every few years bidding

    Which given they’ve sold contracts to people THEY KNOW full well only subscribe for the Champions League & odd Prem game is outrageous in my view

    They need to regulate this shit & there only be one broadcaster with the rights to broadcast Prem or Champions League games in the UK

    After all the absolute bullshit they all chatted about ESL having 3 or 4 providers showing games is a right royal piss take

    Uefa has warned ministers that England could be excluded from the European Championship it is co-hosting in 2028 over "concerns" that a planned independent football regulator could lead to "government interference" in the sport.
    A bill to establish a body to oversee the top five tiers of the men's game in England was reintroduced in July.
    The UK government has said the football watchdog will "protect clubs" by "ensuring their financial sustainability".
    But in a letter sent to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and seen by BBC Sport, Uefa general secretary Theodore Theodoridis wrote: "We do have concerns remaining... as normally football regulation should be managed by the national federation.
    "One particular area of concern stems from one of Uefa's fundamental requirements, which is that there should be no government interference in the running of football.
    "We have specific rules that guard against this in order to guarantee the autonomy of sport and fairness of sporting competition; the ultimate sanction for which would be excluding the federation from Uefa and teams from competition."
    The FA's exclusion from Uefa could also prevent English clubs from competing in European competitions. But a Uefa source suggested that officials did not expect it to reach that stage.

    The absolute mess caused by clubs that missed out (by one League placing) on a European spot or staying in the League versus being relegated is such a dumpster fire.

    It shouldn’t be on the top clubs to subsidise clubs in different divisions anyway

    It’s like insisting Amazon should subsidise all the high street SME’s when they do t even make them pay their tax
