Premier League clubs vote to block Newcastle sponsorship deals at emergency meeting

I don't know how this ban can remain in place permanently. Especially if Man City are allowed to be sponsored by Etihad Airways which is owned by the Abu Dhabi government

I don't know how this ban can remain in place permanently.

The idea is for this ban to be put in place to give them enough time to change the rules permanently. Even if Man City object or abstain, it isn't going to change an 18-2 vote.

Settle it in court as anti-competitive I say.

They claim our investment would make the league anti-competitive and I suppose they are right if you ignore the absolute gulf in money (set in stone by FFP) that the top clubs in this league use to make the competition unfair already. Or the ability of clubs like Man U to over-leverage debt to stay in that club. Or why didn't they act back when Man City was using their pile of money. Or when Abromavich's shady Russian money was being thrown around.

They've got a cheek; pretending like the Super League didn't happen and then talking about the integrity of the competition.

Hypocritical bullsh'it.

I wouldn't talk. I'd just fucking sue.
