Stand Up For PV

Well, you have to hand it to the man. If there is a fight to be had with the Premier League then Peter Varney’s your man. Not content with the answer received from them over the rescheduling of the final fixture of the season he has gone on the offensive and attacked not just them but UEFA also. Quite how UEFA can accept a challenge from the Scots to the TV schedule on a day when, as yet, there are no fixtures in Scotland and indeed the actual fixtures are not even known is beyond me. Bizarre to say the least.

Not a shrinking violet our Peter. Unperturbed he is launching an almost one-man battle against this unwanted change and is hoping for the support of other Premier League clubs. All I can Peter is ‘don’t hold your breath’. The others either don’t care or don’t want to get involved. Apathy rules the day. We await the PL meeting later this week with interest.

PV has shown in the past however that he is not prepared to ‘put up and shut up’. Whether it is this issue, SkyTV games, amounts of foreigners in teams or Chelsea with regard the pitch, Carlton Cole or Spotty Parker then he has shown that he is more than willing to fight OUR corner (By the way, Carlton Cole. Thank God we got the money eh !).

So I say, good on you Peter. If only all Premier League Chief Executives were the same. The football ‘fan’ would be better off if they were.
