If that’s true then that’s a tacit admission of guilt

They probably listened to the audio, thought how can we stop this getting out and trying to nip it in the bud by demoting him!

No sweeping this under the carpet now… the can has truly been opened.
We knew EM would go to war with this shit show.
Masters double crossed the big man and he said

I've got my popcorn out as this will only get more exciting I think.

Some people are saying we're becoming a laughing stock but they won't be saying that when the EPL, Masters and the PGMOL at some point will be proved to be a lying bunch of bastards. Then you have some say what we're doing is destroying the legacy of the Premier league but what I can see is the people in charge of the league is doing a good job of that already especially over the FFP and VAR.

I take my hat off to the big man he definitely got some balls and won't roll over to have his nuts tickled by the PL like a lot of other teams.

Fans of other clubs are loving the fact someone is finally standing up to the establishment. At first it felt embarrassing with the statement but the more comes out, the more I think we are doing the right thing. It may not end well but something needs to change.

The PGMOL isn’t corrupt. It is incompetent and the standard of officiating has declined. VAR hasn’t helped. It has taken away the referee’s responsibility for making a decision. They pass the buck to VAR who also abdicate responsibility by taking no action unless the referee has made an absolute howler. On sunday all three of those incidents should have been pens but they were not worst decisions i have seen this season going against us and other teams. Wolves have had as many poor decisions go against them as we have. We are right to complain on the grounds of incompetence but not corruption without real evidence. This will not do us any favours and make staying up even harder. It is becoming another self inflicted distraction

Not quite sure what some of these grandiose suggestions of going to war will achieve or indeed if they know what they want to achieve.

We are picking up some social media support definitely but not mainstream support and I can’t see any other clubs openly coming out on our side.

Besides all that we are a poor side on the pitch and desperately need to find at least 4 points from our remaining games. I don’t see how the constant off the field circus is helping the team.

EM is experienced at dealing with this sort of thing because it has been going on in Greece for years.

It has now reached the stage where the big games in the Greek league which is games involving Olympiakos, PAOK, Panathinaikos, AEK and Aris are actually refereed by foreign referees.

EM is a big name in Greece with some significant political and media clout. Unfortunately here he is just another rich owner and one who at times is looking increasingly petulant. Besides Olympiacos are the Man City of Greece that every other club there complains about having too much power and influence.

The foreign ref thing isn’t the worst suggestion although a bit careful what you wish for. You can imagine the hysterics if the PL were to bring some in and they do something controversial.

Truth is referees have always favoured the bigger clubs. One of the appeals of VAR was that it might counter balance this bias but it hasn’t. There is an argument to say it has made it worse but it isn’t corruption or conspiracy against us have we alleged. To be honest the accusation is pathetic and an act of desperation
