I've just read that Newcastle won't join either side, so will just remain neutral.
I'd just assumed the other club was Chelsea.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

Cool. I’m laughing about City.
Rumbled!You seem like a clown to me
Yeah so that source is a guy with 240 followers. I'll believe it when I see it - Newcastle are the only team that have voted with City on a regular basis.
If anything Chelsea should be more incentivised to get nation-state ownership out compared to most given the limitations of private equity wealth in comparison.
EDIT: welp guess I believe it. Disgraceful as per usual from our ownership

Does Big Todd have some kind of Middle Eastern connection?
Also seems kinda dumb for Everton to be backing this
That was informative from Lawton, just a shame that Joe is a terrible, terrible interviewer. He rambles and stumbles too much to get his questions out.
Have your questions ready, short and to the point.
So its the premier league clubs paying/contribute the legal fees, including City? What a mess. Couldnt City could drag it on endlessly until it affects clubs?
Being reported by the mail online its Villa, Newcastle and Chelsea, not Everton.
Villa really are villains
Isn't Moshiri linked to Russia?
Chelsea and Newcastle backing City isn't surprising.
All clubs contribute 5%, including City, to the Prem’s legal fees.
I think it’s City’s plan to be litigious as feck. There’s no limit on what they can spend on lawyers (as far as I’m aware) and their owners are literally the UAE state, so they can do this continuously theoretically.
Do Villa have rich owners the ?
Newcastle are backing City? Well feck, that's a surprise.
Can these fecking shady state owned scum clubs be kicked out the league already

Nassef Sawiris is a multi billionaire. Egyptian?
The thing is if they all think “this is my chance to throw loads of cash in” and 5, 6, 8 do, they could spend loads and come 8th?
Why did the doctor quit at Bayernb while he was there?
I don't expect much from Chelsea and Newcastle fans, but hopefully Villa fans let it be known that they are digusted to be associated with this.
Ronay with passionate but pessimistic take in the G. Dunno. I see desperation in this move by City, a failure to take the temperature of the West, even compromised, even outgunned with lawyers and money. The timing is not ideal for City. New government soon. Big US money for Prem, great incentive to preserve competition. I think the cheats will kick and scream. But I predict they crash and burn.
UAE have invested a lot in this country and have very good relations with the govt and football in this country is controlled by the govt. It is the govt that rejected the super league, they also forced Abrahamovic to sell ,so even if city are found guilty nothing serious will happen to them. I even doubt they'll get a point deduction or a transfer ban.
If this govt has not stopped sending weapons to israel after what they are doing in Gaza, you think they will jeopardise relations with UAE because of 'football '?

I think Villa and Fulham both have form for voting with City. I thought Newcastle and City usually abstained where the other was involved, but I could be wrong.
Lots of conflicting reports. Now reading Newcastle are reluctant to support City in this? Without Newcastle they are fecked.
You could say that yes.
The Saudi PIF have billions worth of assets managed by Clearlake. Which is owned by Boehly.
To be fair, the govt intervened on the Super League due to the enormous pushback from fans. The SL was seen as pure anti-competition and club greed. The reaction wouldn’t be the same now.
It's a clever time for them to launch this, with the season over. Protests and fan voices of discontent are barely registerable.
Because Pep blamed him for a 3-1 defeat in a Champions League game.
Ooh, don't know.
Why did the doctor quit at Bayernb while he was there?
That is partially correct Boehly owns Eldridge Industries and is partial owner of the Dodgers and Lakers. Clearlake owners are Eghbali and Feliciano, who are also Chelsea owners.
I am not defending them if they truly are backing Man City, they would be idiots for getting involved with this at all.
So City feel ‘Historically disadvantaged’ by other clubs?
I feel historically disadvantaged by the royal family and the rich in general.
Can I sue them?
Can I *!
Their argument is bollox

Was not aware of that but hardly surprising given pep’s form for systematic cheating.
Alright I amend my precept to “none of pep’s trophies were without a very strong hint of corruption “
I feel better now!
Thats a good point. I feel historically disadvantaged by not having been born with an oilfield under me. Can I get a no win no fee for it and go after the Sheikh?
We call this gatorball in the US military circles. What's it called wherever this is being played?
It’s basically self serving bullshit, which you’d expect from billionaires, but especially our billionaire owners. From the sounds of it Chelsea wrote a statement regarding the Multiclub ownership aspect of the rules (I think there was a vote on this a few months ago, which is when I think this statement was sent to the PL about that specific aspect). Not sure it’s a direct support of City in their lawsuit against the PL, I think headline writers are taking a few liberties with the facts here.
Fair enough. I knew there was a link to Chelsea though.
Are the two besides Newcastle that defend City's cheating Villa and Chelsea then?
Starting to see some media articles of criticism… no rush.
This is an absolute cluster feck.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is a tactic to basically get the 115 dropped or heavily put in their favour. Which could work and the Premier league says we're not changing the rules but your also not getting charged as heavily as we would have.
Basically this all ends in some agreement between the two. Us the fans suffer and have to almost pretend they "got off" like they did with UEFA.
Personally think this is up there with the superleague and every fan in the PL should be protesting these cnuts.
