Evanilson red card rescinded. .

Another black mark against the VAR refs .

It’s just nuts

Was a var intervention - ref originally gave a yellow 

so that’s the three vars and the ref reviewing on a screen and they get it wrong. (I have some sympathy with the onfield ref who is being told what to look at in limited time at the side of the pitch) 
 

Gallagher also gets it wrong (as usual) 

 

subjective calls should not be var interventions- it’s not difficult

This will just be to circumvent UEFA rules given they'll be in Europe.

 

He'll still be involved in an "unofficial" capacity.

As I posted a couple of months ago this trick/workaround might work for UEFA but there might be issues with FA and PL authorities. This kind of "unofficial" involvement isn't allowed by the current domestic rules especially financially. Let's see how this unfolds but I sense Forest might be in trouble getting the green light from FA and PL.

Nothing will change except a name on a form. 

 

Just more joke rules that'll get ignored. 

 

Marinakis isn't famous for caring about rules all that much.

Chelsea announce front of shirt sponsor for remainder of season…. Dubai based property company…. Guessing they needed to find some cash to fill a PSR hole this season? 

[Muzzy_no7]

Cunha getting away with a lengthy ban this season.

 

Forest owner now dodging sanctions.

 

Chelsea getting a special sponsor over the line to ensure they pass FFP after selling of hotels and women’s sides to THEMSELVES.

 

I hate this era of football.

 

So glad we completed it before it went too far.

4 marches isn't lengthy? They literally added on one extra. 

 

And we won all 4 of those games without him any way.

I agree, Plus nicking our manager and one of our best players!  They will rub our noses in it by sacking Enzo as well.

The Forest owner is a good level international drug distributor who is washing his dirty cash through his clubs. It’s all crooked money wherever you look though.

I swear Todd Boehly is on a one man quest to find every ridiculous exploit in the Premier League's rules and take the piss out of it. 

 

It's almost impressive. They're by far and away the biggest joke club I can remember seeing in my lifetime. 

 

At Man City's worst they couldn't come up with half the shit Chelsea pull off.

I agree it’s part of the reason I’m sick of this era. 
 

We are where we are and it’s almost entirely down to a few pillocks handing out ridiculous contracts and letting some go on frees.

I blame the PL who don’t even know their own rules. They allow some big clubs to get away with total abuse of their rules.

 

Chelsea, Liverpool and Man United have all benefited from PSR/FFP advantages.

The PL will now get a Government regulator. This could make it even worse.

Is quite some feat that they managed to find someone that makes Abramovich look like the better guy. 
 

Chelsea are a vile club. you can hate arsenal and spurs as much as you want but at least they are proper clubs. Chelsea is the biggest stain on sport there’s ever been and were the first to start the money washing trend, so always will be in my eyes. 
 

Nothing they’ve achieved was based on merit

I think you can include Man “115 charges” City also.  Yo-yoing up and down the divisions,  before their oil money.  How many 50 million plus players have they bought in the last few years, that have sat on their bench?

[Dahnsouff]

Bollocks to the lot of them, we did it in spite of them and there is no taking it back you bunch of shysters.

I didn't have time yet to check in depth the UEFA agreement/documentarion Marinakis sent. FA and PL prohibit shadow ownership or people acting in the background financially. A bit different but Abramovic was forced to a flash sale (due to sanctions) but he could have stayed in the background as Marinakis will do now. 

I don't expect them to do something because the whole thing is a clown show right now.
