Curious Canary 0 Posted May 2, 2016 Did you know that there is something called the Premier League Handbook?I think you can buy it for £15 or just read all of its 582 pages online.Here is an extract:PREMIER LEAGUE CHAIRMEN’S CHARTERSEASON 2015/16ForewordThe Chairmen’s Charter is a statement of our commitment and aim to run Premier Leaguefootball to the highest possible standards in a professional manner and with the utmost integrity.The CharterWe will ensure that our Clubs:Follow Premier League and FA Rules not only to the letter but also to their spirit, and willensure that our Clubs and Officials are fully aware of such rules and that we have effectiveprocedures to implement the same. SECTION L: FIXTURESFull Strength TeamsL.19. In every League Match each participating Club shall field a full strength team.So:LiverpoolClearly fielded a below strength team with Ward, Smith, Ojo, Chirivella and Stewart in the line-up.Man CityClearly fielded a below strength team as Pelligrini admitted “I think we could''ve played on Saturday and named a stronger team”. The game was on Sunday, so it was a weaker team.Both situations clearly break the rules of the Charter.So what happens now … nothing.Just a bunch of cheats but that’s ok.They deserve to win … nothing.
