My question is how does this impact broader efforts to regulate football in the UK? SCR (and previously PSR) are broadly anti-competitive. City proves that the only way to break into the top four was to cheat on an epic scale? (We’ll set aside Chelsea for this specific conversation.)

£1b fine paid from football revenue, and a lifetime EPL ban for anyone associated with the ownership group. They can play their way back up under new owners. Also SCR/PSR needs to be thrown out in favor of wage/transfer caps tied to revenue of lowest earning teams in the league.

The EFL has to sign on for it to work. 132 point deduction per season for the next 4 years plus transfer, UEFA, and Cup bans. Make them play in each level of the pyramid knowing they’re going down until they’re out of League 2. No cup runs, no European competition, no paid transfers. 1/2

If the nation wasn’t led by madmen, this would be a huge story. As it is, Trump’s offer to sell weapons to our most powerful adversary is just another sign of America’s national suicide.

Trump Offered to Sell Arms to China, U.S. Ambassador Says
President Trump made the offer to Xi Jinping, China’s leader, said David Perdue, the ambassador to China. The White House later said the U.S. had no plans for such a sale.

We have a commentariat class that spends a lot of time foisting revisionist history of 20th century Black liberation/civil rights struggles onto us and getting away with it because a lot of the people who would correct them died before their time thanks to cointelpro, the "war on drugs," & AIDS

Everton also have a tremendous program for community involvement and are one of the original members of the first division. They originally played at Anfield before a dispute with the landlord led them to build a stadium on the other side of the park (which led to the creation of LFC).

Absolute clown show. Moyes is going from recruiting his way out of a contract extension to recruiting his way out of a job. How the hell is TFG letting this absurdity continue?

Yeah, this is the issue. He all but resigned and waited to be fired to take the payoff.

When I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C in 2011, the resident refused to accept that I was not in fact closeted and cheating on my wife with men and sternly told her to excuse herself so he and I could have an “honest discussion about my sexual activities.”

Seeing some rumors about Ainsley Maitland-Niles as a RB option, so I asked #chatgpt what it could find to verify and consider the strategy. Chat then hallucinates a nationality. #Everton #EFC #UTFT #COYB
ChatGPT speculated that Ainsley Maitland-Niles is a plan b if Everton’s deal for Alastair Johnstonbfalls through. ChatGPT hallucinates that it prefers a deal for Johnston because it’s also Canadian.

But isn’t the criticism that the people in those neighborhoods haven’t benefited proportionately from that investment? That rising property values have taxed people out of their homes? And businesses have benefited the new residents and profits have gone to outside companies?

Our basement is so cold we put auxiliary baseboard heaters with independent thermostats in our offices and strategically placed our desks above them. My toes stay toasty all year long.

Absolutely wild to me that the same panel that docked us 10 points that was reduced to 6 was allowed to decide we owe Burnley £40m. #Everton #EFC #UTFT #COYB
