Martin Samuel of the Time - MSM's most honest PSR reporter

[Ragatino]

Martin Samuel is the only MSM report who covers the corruption of PSR honestly. If you want to see more from him discussion the PSR $hit show search for Time podcast about PSR. His shill colleagues all talk around the issue to ensure they don't offend their Red Cartel fraud paymasters whilst he speaks very matter of fact about the details of the corruption of PSR.

Martin Samuel on the Newcastle United owners and their situation as well as Premier League clubs (who are ambitious in any way) overall:

‘What PSR stops is the likes of Forest, or Brighton, or even Brentford, getting too good. And Newcastle United, of course. Particularly Newcastle United.

After Alexander Isak scored the winning goal against Arsenal on Saturday, he was talked of as having passed his audition, because Isak is the striker Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has his eyes on to bolster his forward line and relieve Kai Havertz.

Yet why should a club that is backed by the wealth of Saudi Arabia have to sell their best goalscorer to Arsenal?

It’s because profitability and sustainability requires Newcastle to pretend they are poor.

It keeps them exactly where the elite wants them: tenth, at present, so that their finest players become frustrated and wish to leave. And where would they go? To the established elite, the ones who shape the rules to ensure they stay at the top — unless an upstart disruptor such as Nottingham Forest comes along and spoils it.

Newcastle, like Forest before them, may need to sell so they can buy. Yet selling could strengthen a rival, so the impact of buying has a diminished effect.

Clever, isn’t it?

And all because those elite entities were so unhappy about what almost happened to Portsmouth, when they nearly went bust, but didn’t, 14 years ago. They still haven’t got over it, poor lambs. That’s why they vote for these rules to ensure no club outside the Super League six ever attempts ambition again.’

That’s spot on analysis, but what can we do about it,it needs a revolution by the clubs outside the so called top 6 to instigate a change somehow.
