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

Talks port saying £900 million deal with EFL off the table if we win.
On the one hand they're saying there's no money for the EFL if we win.
But on the other hand if we do win clubs can spend as much as they want.
Meaning they've got much more money coming in and that'd enable them to pay the EFL.
It's all contradictional bollocks.
 
Is the definition of associated party completely open-ended?

Under the current rules what is to stop the PL saying that the Manyoo/Livarpool/Arse American sponsors are not associated parties and therefore not subject to any assessment or limits for 'PSR' limits but our sponsors from Abu Dhabi are associated to our owners therefore our subject to their assessment before being cleared.

Yeah Ed Woodward didn't get that 120m a year chevrolet deal with him not knowing the bloke who gave that deal then for sacked!

Billionaire owners know big business they can get deals because they know them but seems because they are Americans nothing is associated related?!
 
There is a certain madness to the Premier League that I am sure the City lawyers can exploit.
1) Fair value for transfer fees. Should Liverpool be allowed to sell Coutinho for £125 Million when everyone knew he was not worth it?
2) Fair value for transfer fees again. The Saudis were, apparently, willing to pay £200 Million for 31yr old Mo Salah. Seriously? So it's alright for the Red Top sides to get inflated sums but seemingly not ok for City?
3) Is this the first time in football history when a controlling sporting body wants to lower the quality of their sport? Sick of seeing Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Usain Bolt, Frankel, Red Rum, etc win. Why don't we just ban them? Let's just ban excellence.

Imagine -

2000's - Nokia think Apple's investment should be restricted as they're new to the phone market and should only be able to spend what they're earning at the moment. Their deals with contractors should be subject to fair market value so they don't exceed Nokia's.

2024 - Nokia fans think Apple are cheating because they had no history with phones and clearly couldn't have revenue higher than a company that did it for so many years before.
 
@KS55 - I think it is clear that there is already, in general, outside of the current issue, a wide media agenda against us.What would you do with this critique when complete or is it just for academic purposes?
It will go to the Times editor with a note to say your lying journos are ruining your rep and we are capable of organising a boycott. Times ownership is in play.

But Nokia fans tell me so often that they don't care about Apple.
 
So, nearly a third of clubs have to sell players ASAP meaning they won’t get fair market value for them. No doubt Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs & Utd will be there trying to get a deal and below market value.

Forced fire sales for Newcastle, Forest, Everton, Villa & Chelsea.

Surely things are going to get really really nasty here.

If Arsenal pinch Isaac or Watkins, those owners and fans are going to go mad.

The big bad City narrative may soon start to chill.

And what happens if the other 2/3s of clubs don't want to buy any of their players?

All of this really is mental (not you @schfc6 , just the situation these rules have produced).

I’m still not really convinced about coutinho dealing , there’s something about this deal and looked odd to me from day one
 
Clubs siding with red cartels should remember that sooner or later these rules will come and bite their anus from behind .
Never get why teams like Fulham, Brighton. West ham for example cosy up to the fuckers. It's like the said teams are happy to sit and challenge for the odd Europa Conference position and a good cup run. Zero ambition!

It's like they are happy to look up and never be a part of the elite, as long as they finish higher than 18th position every season.

F#cking tw@ts these brown Arabs
 
You’re right. I’m spending too much time trying to defend the club on social media but it’s every other story and the shit being spouted about the club I’ve loved so dearly since being 6 years old is bang out of order and I can’t take much more. I should be able to tune into football radio without listening to my clubs reputation being destroyed. Leaving Wembley last week was tough. But that’s football I can handle that. What I’m struggling with is seeing the thing I love most in the world (after family) being attacked like this
You do realise that you will never ever win an argument on social media as 99% of the fuckers have brain cells the size of termite shit.
I`m so grateful that my brain wont allow me to have an account on social media apart from Blue Moon.
Stress levels don`t exist for me ... and thats why. Take time off from it mate and you`ll be more happier for it.

I pop into twitter occasionally and plant a few land mines then get the fcuk out quickly.
 
  • Rule X.31 specifies: "The award shall be in writing and shall contain reasons for the tribunal’s decision. A copy of it shall be provided to the Board and to the Chair of the Judicial Panel. Where the award contains decisions on points of law or interpretation that the Chair of the Judicial Panel considers to be of wider application or use to the Board and Clubs, with the agreement of the parties to the arbitration, he/she may produce and circulate to the Board (for distribution to Clubs) an anonymised summary of the award."
This means that while the arbitration proceedings are confidential and conducted in private, the written award is shared with theparties and the Board and the Chair of the Judicial Panel. If the award includes decisions that have broader implications, an anonymised summary may be distributed to the Clubs, provided there is agreement from the parties involved.

No provision for wider release but maybe they will agree to that

I’m sure Arsenal will pass it on.
