I think people forget that 'The Premier League' is a conglomerate of 20 chairmen of football clubs that all have their own agendas. Certainly none of the bottom 6 or 7 are going to spite their own chances of survival, just to protect 'the brand'. Any worried about 'the brand' are more likely to vote against, bending over backwards to help one club because it ruins the integrity of their rule book and open's up the possibility that PCFC would continue to be their problem, next season.
