The biggest difference in all of this is
LAW ie enforceable by a court process
RULES ie enforceable by the ruling committee of a members only club
By law the FL can do nothing to prevent SLH selling SFC to whoever it likes, but it can prevent SFC being a member of its league according to its own rules.
However back to the start of the thread I take no one is ever allowed to change their viewpoint? Thats exactly what we're asking the FL to do, to allow a reexamination of the facts but probably from a LAW point of view rather than a moralistic interpretation of the RULES ,just a review which follows the actual wording of the RULES
So what if people laughed at Leeds, Brighton, Cherries the world and its political climate moves on.
