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

[cheekybids]

They are trying a pincher movement on us, trying to find something that will stick , pity for them that we have the best chairman anywhere in the world and the best legal team , they will regret going to war with us that i am sure

I thought they’d have learnt years ago.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

So this must mean that America owned clubs can't have America sponsors like say an American car company

That would make sense, but the clear implication I got from the podcast was that the AP rules were being used to target certain clubs and countries ? Pretty blatant discrimination if that is correct.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

If that's correct, that's got to be unlawful

I have to agree, it's extremely blatant. And if City have any proof then the PL are going to lose this hands down.

 

[Bluearmy]

If this is seriously the issue, then surely there's zero chance we're losing this.

It cant stand up to scrutiny in anything other than a kangaroo court surely

 

[Bluearmy]

Mandatory listening for fans currently frothing at the mouth that we're about to turn the PL into a completely lawless wild west. Thanks for sharing.

It already was

 

[Keeper!]

Backdated 3 years…. Fuck me & hacks have read this & made out City are in the wrong PMSL.

FFS if that's true were on a roll, the courts can't allow that.

City saving football since 1880, istory la

Meanwhile, the Premier League introduces new rules to distort the market...

Premier League: Clubs vote to trial new spending cap system

Premier League clubs have voted to bring in a new spending cap system on a trial basis for the 2024-25 season.

www.bbc.co.uk

"Premier League clubs have agreed to trial an alternative financial system which operates like a spending cap in the 2024-25 season.

The Squad Cost Rules (SCR) and Top to Bottom Anchoring Rules (TBA) will operate alongside the existing Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) on a "non-binding basis".

Teams will be allowed to spend no more than 85% of their total revenues on squads under the new system.

Meanwhile, the TBA is an anchoring model based on the earnings of the bottom club."

The exact rules to be determined once the EPL have found a way for City to have breached them, while certain other clubs haven't.

 

[BlueAnorak]

But it will help our alleged non cooperation charges, the PL can't keep anything secret

Absobloodylutely

 

[norman]

Two very mild comments ( including “City bingo”) by me challenging Syed and Slot have been removed as they “ violate their policy” These media shills can dish it out but can’t take it.

 

[urban genie]

Still is, but these days the chat over a pint is about accounting standards and English commercial law.

All very boring though, better leave that shit to @gordondaviesmoustache he is our resident rumpole ;-)

 

[yankblue]

I love how in the minds of so many we are guilty no matter what and solely accountable for all the worlds ills

Found guilty of charges? See, we knew it all along

Beat the charges? Corrupt, bought it off, cheating bastards

Win the lawsuits against the PL? More corruption, ruining football

At no point in time do any of these morons think for a second that maybe, just maybe we're not the ones in the wrong here

Wow. That is discrimination personified.
If that is true then the Premier League are in the deepest of shit.

You can then link everything together and you see the patterns emerging.
The press treat us differently to the red cartel pricks.
The Premier League look like they have treated us differently to the red cartel pricks.
The two red mardarse clubs from the North West had a say in who becomes the Premier League chairman. If they are allowed to do that then they are allowed to dictate to Masters (obviously) how to run the show, who to punish and who to turn a blind eye to.

It's all so obvious when you join the dots.

Fuck me we have been absolutely shafted.

 

[Stoned Rose]

kieran maguire, not Kevin - Kevin maguire is a whole other ballgame

Neither are in the same league as Zammo.

I tend to agree, but as Khaldoon so calmly stated in his end of season chat. Let's wait and see what the facts say!

 

[Sofiablu]

Apologies if linked already but the, brief, discussion at the start of the Price of Football pod is a good analysis of what's going on. Aided by the fact Kevin Maguire had access to the 165 page doc

Thanks for this. Such a different spin to everything else we’ve read about this matter.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

No, doesnt apply to them

Or isn't being applied to them, either way it's discrimination on a grand scale.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Perhaps there's a chance that City leaked it to him with a view to getting someone to comment on it who's respected in the field and will have a stab at dealing with it fairly rather than with the repugnat pack-mentality hyesteria we've seen over the last two days?

I don’t think city would be daft enough to leak any document, to anyone, ever.

 

[KS55]

He did. He also said that if we won at CAS he would shout about our innocence from the rooftops. Yet nearly 4 years on, we're still fucking waiting!

Syeed is not a man of honour as evidenced by his cheating at ping pong. So we will wait for ever for that apology.

 

[Sk@mcfc]

I’m still not really convinced about coutinho dealing , there’s something about this deal and looked odd to me from day one

Odd that the fuckers think there still spending it

 

[Keeper!]

So Kevin Maguire has said that under the associated party rules min 3.20 , neither City or Newcastle can be sponsored by any businesses in the UAE or Saudi but other PL clubs can ?? Have i understood that correctly?? But other clubs can and have been sponsored by companies and even by their owners. And its backdated by three years. Clearly that is fundamentally wrong!

I don't want to be a party pooper but listening to that, how is this explained?

Newcastle have finalised a £25m-a-year front-of-shirt sponsorship deal with the leading Saudi Arabian events company Sela. The agreement will provide an early test of the Premier League’s new fair market value commercial regulations.
