Strong stuff.
Culture, Media and Sport Committee has today written to @premierleague ceo Richard Masters “asking him to clarify remarks made to the Committee last week about ‘small clubs’ and the league’s role in the Profit and Sustainability Rules and sanction regime”.
“Richard Masters’ implication that nine-times league title winners Everton and double European Cup winners Nottingham Forest are ‘small clubs’ will have raised eyebrows with fans,” says
Dame Caroline Dinenage MP, Chair of the CMS Committee. “To suggest clubs are categorised according to size raises wider questions about whether every member of the league truly does receive treatment that is fair and consistent.
“Equally puzzling was his insistence that the charges and punishment regime is entirely independent of the Premier League, when there is documentary evidence of an attempt to move the goalposts with a proposal for a structured policy for sanctions. If Mr Masters was a referee, the VAR control room may well now be having a word in his ear to look again at his evidence to the committee.”
The Committee has also written to Minister for Sport Stuart Andrew “urging the Government to bring forward the Football Governance Bill as soon as possible”. The Bill would establish an independent regulator “which would have backstop powers to impose a financial deal on the Premier League and Football League if they fail to reach agreement themselves”.
Dinenage adds, “Overall, given what we heard last week from both the Premier League and EFL, it now seems more important than ever that the Government gets on with establishing the independent football regulator that can step in to safeguard the health of the game beyond the monied world of the top flight.”
Do you think this could help us because it seems the Premier league changes the rules for "bigger clubs" and the CEO have been called out for it.

TBH, I wouldnt hold your breath on the Government doing anything. By the time they have taken their thumbs out of their arses, there will be a Labour Government in place, that may, or may not want to get involved in football matters.

You're right I shouldn't hold my breath but it could help us if an appeal is called for I think.

Luton 3-0 up at home to Brighton.
Our season could well come down to our away games at Luton, Sheffield United, Everton and Burnley. Lose more than one of them and we're in massive bother.

Luton will go above us if they get a result in their game in hand.

It's going to be pretty tough to stay up if we get a points deduction

We get any point deduction and we are down I would say.

At least Everton didn't win. Would actually like a Sheffield United equaliser at this point.
