City’s legal team has claimed that the club is a victim of discrimination and argue that the regulations, which are supported by rival teams, are specifically designed to curb their success – which they assert, constitutes a "tyranny of the majority." However, former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan expressed his astonishment at the latest development and urged the top-flight authorities to throw out the reigning champions from the competition.
WHAT JORDAN SAID
In an interview with, Jordan stated: "I am gobsmacked with what Manchester City are doing. I think it's absolutely outrageous. They're trying to bully the headmaster when the headmaster is trying to expel them. It's an absolute disgrace and it brings the game into complete disrepute. If I was an owner in the Premier League now, I would be campaigning to expel them. I think fans should be very scared of the behaviour they’re showing."
DID YOU KNOW?
Jordan’s sentiments were echoed by his co-host Graeme Souness, who added that the situation reflects poorly on English football. "Manchester City are challenging the entire fabric of our game," Souness said. "They’re going as far as they possibly can to say, 'you’re all wrong and we’re going to sue you and prove you’re wrong'. How are the rest of the Premier League going to view Manchester City right now? Someone who will be laughing right now is the President of the Spanish FA, because he’s been going on about the power in the Premier League for a long time now and the wrongs of our game. It’s a sad time for English football."
