Knew it.
Puzzling why so many clubs voyed against the ban though.
All those clubs are under multi-club ownership so itâs not a surprise.
Sweetingâs post here Premier League 2023/24 (Part 1) - #4622 by Sweeting
actually made most of that fairly clear. Add in Sheffield Unitedâs Saudi ownership, and the only one left to puzzle about was Burnley.

Everton voted against the ban. I wonder whatâs in it for them?
777 - the entity in the midst of purchasing them - owns Genoa, Standard Liege, Vasco de Gama and Hertha Berlin and are currently negotiating to buy Sevilla

Thanks, that would explain it.
Everton moaning and crying about the unjust of the PL and then voting in favour of multi ownership deals, and they wonder why we call them bitter.
Never thought Iâd say this but after yesterday, I now hope Utd smash them on Sunday and I hope Sheffield Utd finish a point above them in 17th due to them signing a player in Jan from Olimpiakos or whatever club theyâre affiliated with who then goes on to win them the game on the last day.
Would be fitting. Truly pathetic club.

Burnley = Kompany 
pep 
city.
I doubt that is a factor, ownership would not do their bidding, and I suspect Kompany is his own man as well. Certainly on good terms with City, but not under their thumb. I think it is more likely that ALK/Velocity have aspirations to follow a similar multi-team/league model.

I find it surprising that something like this had to go to a vote.
The Premier League is effectively owned by the member clubs. While the rules of the games are governed by IFAB, how the league itself operates is dictated by itself. So how else are they going to come to a common understanding of what those rules of the competition are other than themselves voting on them?

Burnley are reportedly seeking a âtalent-shareâ agreement with Dundee. Although this is different than direct ownership at the moment perhaps they have concerns about how affiliations are accounted for.

Newcastle now need to beat Milan and hope Dortmund beat PSG to qualify for the knock out stages.
Fail to beat Milan and theyre out of Europe altogether. Think id rather they get stuck with a few Thursdays than have a clear run in the PL.
