The Premier League are ****ing laughable, they’ve essentially said in their statement.
“Yeah we know that is not how the rules are written but that’s how they should be interpreted and implemented”
It reeks of the “independent panel” being influenced by the Premier League/EFL in making their decision, the whole thing ****ing stinks (including ourselves btw) but hey if you can get cleared on a technicality it’s the fault of those writing the financial rules for not making them legally binding.
