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

[argyle]

City's perception in the court of public opinion is already severely damaged thanks to the PL and the jealous yank clubs.

If City win this case you and all other City fans can enjoy your day in the sun.

Don't be so pessimistic .

Not pessimistic about the legal cases.

I just think City are really bad at PR in this country.

They say nothing and the club gets deliberately battered with misinformation and lies.

A simple statement would correct the bullshit that is already going round.

It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s United that are the other club voting with us on this latest development

City,Everton,Forest,Villa,Newcastle,Wolves, not sure Leicester can yet.

 

[halfcenturyup]

There is the possibility that the PL’s credibility is shot to pieces by this. Whither 115 charges then?

Whither? They wither.

No they don't, but I couldn't resist.

This thread just jumped 40 pages in the last 30 minutes...

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Am I being thick, or does this seemingly have no bearing on the 115 charges?

None of the charges relate to the rules we're challenging, because those rules weren't even brought in until years after the most recent of the charges.

The article in the Times tries to link the two, and claims that a victory in this hearing could give us a strong defence for the 115 hearing, but I don't see how?

Even if we managed to get these new rules chucked out as unlawful (big if), and even if we could make the argument that some of the rules we're alleged to have broken are unlawful on the same principle (even bigger if), it wouldn't be a valid justification for breaking them after the fact.

51 pages already! Can we get it to 115 by midnight!

Me neither, there's a comment in the times article about value of NW clubs.

Scruffy turns slightly blue as he's got a lot of money tied up in the middle east and bingo runs away.

I could be writing shit but, well £££ talks.

 

[bluedave1894]

Do we know who the clubs are supporting us on this?

Would imagine Newcastle are a shoe in and Wolves as well

Leicester back in the mix maybe.

 

[roy.or.r]

Plenty of this on the socials.

I fucking love you, City.View attachment 121239

Is it just me who finds this delicious?

 

[TShed]

Simon Stone must be struggling to day gets his dept to start a Kev could be on his way article then ffs Scousers are sponsoring global terrorism and City about to destroy the whole PL and he can’t get a story out pmfsl

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

So every non cooperation charge they charged us with we have charged them right back with exactly the same?

Would be rendered baseless immediately once the mask has slipped and we get to know the real reasons

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

City,Everton,Forest,Villa,Newcastle,Wolves, not sure Leicester can yet.

Would you throw Chelsea into that hat. Severely hampered by FFP rules and may get charged on what you read.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

RAWK have already decided we’ve done this because we know we are getting the book thrown at us.

What’s that saying? Clutching at straws?

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Hallelujah, we've put up with shite from the Premier league and their paymasters the red 'istree clubs for years , well done to our club for standing against the actions of Richard Masters and company , hopefully the Barcodes ,Chelsea and others who have been on the recieving end of the agenda driven decisions from the premier league will stand beisde us, although i won't hold my breath.
The Premier maube now will realise they have bitten off more than they can chew ,the 115 charges are not going to be tolerated and we are not going down without a fight.
If we do win this court case against realated sponsorships and their values then we will have the Masters and his cohorts on the run , they are either going to have to back down or go the whole hog and go for us , we have bared our teeth and our not going to meekly give in and take a "pinch" like we did with UEFA , let the battle commence
COME ON CITY !!!!

 

[Metalartin]

The main charges are over nine seasons clearly stopping at 2018.

He’s not talking about non co-operation since that time imho.

I think the point was more that he'll probably use the non-cooperation charges as a loophole. Whilst knowing full well; the way he's framed it is misleading and letting his whole profession down(acting against the spirit of journalism itself). Then again, with the lack of balance from the vast majority of UK journalists, they're all doing a good job of showing how far the industry has slipped. Why would we expect them to care about offering balanced views, when they don't even care if they are accurate, when it's become routine that they actively try and mislead to rile up the masses for the sake of clicks and engagement? Maybe it's always been a part of the industry to some degree but it's gotten so bad, there's very few honest journalist left working in sports by the looks of things. It's full of agendas and vested interests now.

Before Corra starts....if it's still on Tuesdays.

 

[I'm Blue]

I really hope we’ve sued them for 115 offences with some really petty ones thrown in.
Like the ribbons on our many PL trophies were too short.

Well done City, don't back down.

Love how fuming the dippers and rag fans are.
