City launch legal action against the Premier League | Club & PL reach settlement | Proceedings dropped (p1147)

Rabin pointing this out…

This shouldn't be left to people on twitter to point out.

The club needs to fill the void with a statement, not just silence or a late night brief to a couple of journalists.

 

[remember arthur mann]

It quite interesting to think, when all this and the charges are resolved, how things are going to be between us and the PL.

The PL might be no more.

If I was a "glass half empty" person, I could be thinking that the main case isn't going well, and that we're now going down this route.

 

[Canter]

This is excellent stuff. The fight really is on. Let's have it blues!

 

[The blue phantom]

I'm trusting the club and our Chairman to wipe the floor with the PL. Big fuckin knockout I'm hoping for.

 

[manimanc]

Did the Premier League and the mardarse pricks of the red cartel clubs expect us to bend over and take this constant badmouthing and slander and racism forever?

We was always going to fight back, some City fans said we should have done it ages ago but khaldoon has always maintained that when he is ready he will speak and that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

He's just lit the blue touch paper and about bloody time.

AbuDhabi intelligence strikes again. “We know what is said.” Did the redshirts check for devices under their cosy lunch table?

That thought had occurred to me. Delicious if the club has "leaked" emails showing collaboration between the PL and some clubs :)

Karma big time.

What evidence could other clubs possibly have that they can step forward with.

 

[TinFoilHat]

I'm not entirely convinced that City have a strong case here and most of the arguments seem more emotive than anything else. But that's is just based on what's being reported which I've no doubt has an anti-City slant to it so let's just trust the Club have called this right. Bring it on.

It's a bloody good advert for a football regulator mind.

Only City voted for that and regardless of the outcome it proves why it's needed. I expect some dirty washing to be aired to keep us going before the season begins again.

 

[dadnlad]

I know I'm probably asking for too much here, but is it too much to ask that arguably the biggest media sports broadcaster in the UK, actually did a bit of fact checking before discussing on live TV?

Wasting my time here I know...

anything to show us in bad light

 

[urban genie]

How depressing that the top two threads on this forum will be about legal cases and nothing about what's happening on the football pitch!

seaosns over so fuck all else to do tbf ;-)

My thoughts, but fook em.

It was around February cos Omar was announced just before the Spurs cup game end of January.

Hmm February you say.

So Scruffy was moving into arse licking mode when we laid the case. Interesting, thought it was a strange move from him out of nowhere to start blowing smoke up us.

Hopefully the official statement comes from Khaldoon's end of season interview. Something along the lines of a couple of allegations made and a sue me if I'm wrong would do me.

:)

 

[Keeper!]

So it begins, long overdue......

THank you Sheik Mansour

 

[dadnlad]

Matt Lawton’s piece even states that the 115 charges are between 2009 and 2023.

They are not!

It’s 2009 to 2018.

Basic stuff.

he got it from bingo hoping to get titles that he didnt win given him

 

[Kinkladze's crazy skills]

When we're cleared.

The Premier League best prepare immediately once again, because this time it will hurt our legal team will be going in dry...


Regardless of monetary gains potentially coming out way, honestly I'd rather we actually force the PL to comb over our rivals books instead, in the exact same manner as they've combed ours.

 

[TinFoilHat]

So best outcome is a settlement that makes the rules fairer. We get the "115" settled too. Then Pep says he's signed a rolling contract and he'll decide when to go not the cunts in the press room.

 

[argyle]

Can someone explain everything that's gone on like I'm 5?

Won't be hard to imagine that in fairness

In Feb new rules were brought in, at the behest of the redshirts and spurs, that gave the PL very broad powers to stop investment on the flimsiest of 'associations' between club owners and potential sponsors.

So not the Related Party rules but the new Associated Party rules.

The club is taking action against these new rules and are pointing out that they are being used against clubs with Gulf State connections.

That's what I have taken from it.

The story in the Time's is typically written in emotive language that puts City in a bad light and somehow connects these challenges with the 115 charges.

City have so far said nothing so expect the usual suspects in the media to criticise us, see it as a diversion and delaying tactic, etc, etc.
