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

[blue for life]

You come for the king you better not miss!

 

[jamesha]

Why worried? I see this as the club being on the front foot, being aggressive, and standing up for ourselves.

The size of the stakes I guess - I think this latest move means we either win or perish. If we win then the Premier League might not survive the fallout - CTID

Please write a book . I’d love to read these stories.

Example...

I was one of those 'Super Heads'. I was drafted in to turn around failing schools. So, late one Friday afternoon, I was stomping around putting out fires started by terrible teachers trying to manage angry kids, kids mostly hewn from angry homes. The usual failing school cocktail, tbf.

I noticed a pile if leaves outside the Science block. It was quite large, but it would be, what with a lad hiding underneath. He preferred that to the Chemistry lesson he was avoiding. I understood. What a school that was. Turned it around though, in time. Epically difficult work, but paid ridiculously well.

The PremierLeague does need a huge shake up with the way it is currently being run and certain club being allowed to have near enough a free reign. Although it is the last resort the legal action was necessary even with the consequences if we do lose.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

The media is stuffed with utd and liverpool fanzine writers who act as cheerleaders for those clubs.

Wish someone at the club would call it out repeatedly rather than hoping they'll all change their tune or go away as time goes on.

City won't cry foul over something subjective.

They load their armour for the fundamental matters that will materialy change the rules and structure of football.

Remember Marc Bosman ??

City have lost control of the narrative again. Our PR department is fucking useless. In the modern world a lie is round the world before the truth has its boots on and it’s happening again.

What's the point?

The journalists are morons, the papers print lies and rival fans are bitter and twisted.

He likes us when we’re paying him money to talk nicely about us in a Netflix series.

Looks like he was about to burst into tears on SSN back pages chat they doing at minute, it was like if the PL is finished I’m out of a job as I know fuck all else to talk shit about

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

And Stelios

Did he go to Bolton?

 

[cheekybids]

Gutted when we missed out on Mido and Steed Malbranque.

Not sure how serious this is so happy to be corrected by the forum big wigs but the original report was very hyperbolic and we are just challenging a Premier League rule with the rules set out by the Premier League. Hardly a Civil War that will shake the foundations of the league.

The accusations of bias and racism are very strong though only if we have concrete evidence to back it up. It may lead to people resigning but I doubt there is a house of cards that is going to tumble down if the tribunal finds in our favour. The accusations of racism just add a little colour to our complaint but would just demonstrate one person was racist rather than the system is.

Glad to see the club standing up for itself but unless we are challenging the majority rule stuff in general rather than again adding colour I'm not sure how damaging this will be to the EPL if they lose

I think it is serious because there is a clear split between the clubs. It is also an opportunity for City to expose some of the skullduggery which has been going on. If 12 clubs do give evidence to support the PL and others oppose them it will open up a lot of wounds. The discrimination allegations are serious under any circumstances. City must have strong evidence to make them. I wonder if City know who has leaked the latest story to the Times. They must have a good idea and it may become public at some stage. This is going to get very messy.

I suspect City have some genuine dirt on someone like Levy and will use this case to throw it into the public domain.

Henry the **** Winter doesn’t like us very much does he

Joins a long list, seems like Samuel is the only one in our corner and since starting to write for the Times I think his support is wavering.

I’ve always contended our owners are in this for the money, the business side of things. Financial regulation of the PL is being driven by American clubs to keep costs down and maintain historic status quos. Champions league villa needing to sell players to stay within rules. The PL is going down the toilet and our owners don’t want to see their investment devalued. Simple as that

 

[dadnlad]

back pages winter and cross calling for unity where's the unity in yanks ganging up to apply onesided rules
hopefully city come out and say whats going on behind closed doors becaues these's havent got backbone to say it

 

[GaslightAnthem]

They wanted a war, and now they have a war. About time.

 

[we are the east stand]

Did he go to Bolton?

Think he was at Bolton already, we bid £1m and he chose to stay at Bolton I think….how times change

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

I’m sceptical about some of the stuff Lawton is claiming in his article tbh. Feels like a heavily biased piece designed to paint us in a bad light.

If there’d been some revelations about an another clubs shirt sponsor today you could understand it…..

 

[Bald fraud]

Interesting this was released today.
The day the terrorist Scouse sportswashers hit the news.

All leaked to deflect the scousers shame! It hasn’t even gone to court and we’ve landed a huge right hand! The prem are fucking amateurs!

So true, I've noticed the same.

Not interested in any of them being on our side mate, it’s like them two then who been on for last 20 mins, we should be saying City are this and that and applauding their achievements, well do it then you cunts without dropping in snidey comments about charges, can’t help themselves and are all scared of being to made out like they are stupid cunts, even though they already are stupid cunts .

Cross was like I love Manchester City, no you don’t you **** because you’re all the same, snidey bastards
