Didnt really know where to put this but it appears that a bunch of clueless fuckwits only notable for their self serving own pocket lining mismanagement of the country are having a debate about no confidence in a bunch of clueless fuckwits only notable for their self serving own pocket lining mismanagement of football.

 Definitely a case of pot calling the kettle, black.

"Greg Dyke: Premier League is a cartel" This from a man who played a key role in the formation of the PL?

I see that some PL clubs are agitating for a change in the existing TV rights position whereby the money is divvied up equally between the 20.  The likes of Liverpool want a Spanish style system whereby Real/Barca negotiate their own contracts, meaning they get all the money and clubs like Osasuna, Granada, Espanyol, Rayo get next to fuck all.  In Spain they're looking to go the other way somewhat as it makes the league uncompetitive.  A Leicester size club could never win La Liga.

As things stand there are a clutch of medium sized clubs in the Prem, who do very nicely out of just being in the Prem, but aren't terribly attractive to a world wide audience.....I'd imagine West Brom v MBoro is a hard sell....or Watford v Swansea...or Bormuff v Stoke... or Burnley v Hull even Palace v West Ham.

This is more like the actual aim of it all.

They have every PL game live over here, as well as the FA Cup games.  Was very odd seeing Sutton vs. Wimbledon being advertised.

So the motion was passed - with all 17 MP's that was remotely interested, although a few of them was probably the ones that had fallen asleep on the back benches

It is quite funny that a bunch of corrupt useless rich white cunts say they have no confidence in another bunch of corrupt useless rich white cunts.

More importantly, why the fuck are we (the tax payer) giving £30m-£40m to the fucking FA? And do they not know how much they give them? There's a 33% difference in the two figures given ffs.
