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

[Gone for a Burton]

The PL is a business run by ‘amateurs’.

City are are business’s run by some of the smartest business brains on the plant.

This is a ‘war’ with huge implications.

In wars belligerents gain and lose ground,win and lose battles,take casualties and generate collateral damage through unintended consequences.

It’s a long game which rarely generates clarity until the end is insight.

City are playing the long game,may lose a battle or two and will generate misleading propaganda from the enemy.

However, we will win the war.

Finally, the first casualty of war is the truth and history is written by the victor !!

Manchester thanks you Sheikh Mansour.

Lot's of confusion about it that's why I said IF it's true it's a game changer and we have a very good chance of winning.

If we win this case we go back to the rules as they were, and the narrative that we would get some crazy amounts from UAE sponsors is utter noise and bullshit

Still no idea what you are referencing. 3.02 WHERE FFS?

Another 'hot news' item just in - Red Bull Racing has had it's F1 cars confiscated by the governing body FIA, for being TOO successful!
Yep, City became TOO successful - can't have that. That was City's big mistake, should have been happy with just being a mid table Manchester club!

F1 is doing all they can to stop their domination and guess who is a huge shareholder of the previously dominant Mercedes.

The counter to that is the Likes of Radcliffe and Bowley( although he is only the frontman) are no fools.

And the Saudi's did not but Newcastle for the fun of it.

Methinks yous are all mistaking me for a bloke (as is usual in football online) ha ha ha

They tend to think I am bloke as well on here, but no problem irl no mistaking me for girly am a tall foc blonde! Ironically my hub and offspring are not footy fans...

Neo: “Jesus!”
Trinity: “What?”
Neo: “I just thought, em… you were a guy.”
Trinity: “Most guys do.”

I think they are talking about the price of football podcast with Kieran Maguire but linked an MUEN article to confuse you ;)

Cat Weasel & Bohey are Northern League in comparison to HH Sheikh Mansour......and Newcastle are our allies in this war.

I don’t understand your points.

What is “it”? Give us a ref for this game changer.!!
Anybody got a clue what keeper is on about?

The podcast put a very different perspective on our action.

It was saying that us and Newcastle are subject to very different rules than the rest with these new rules.

And basically the PL had the right to stop UAE/Saudi sponsorships at the clubs and even go back in time to stop them.

As said it was an opinion piece but if it has any merit it makes our action seem very understandable.

And the narrative if we win and will get unlimited cash from UAE sponsors is utter rubbish as the rules would revert to the previous ones and the deals would have to represent fair market value.

 

[Protein Junkie]

Some beaut on Facebook posted that our legal action is proof we are guilty of 115.
My reply was “ what a lazy, uneducated comment”
Then another twat piled on with “You wouldn’t understand”
And this ladies and gentlemen is the battle of research over clicking puff pieces on MSM.

Have to laugh at the PL desperately trying to play financial wac-a-mole. It must be becoming increasingly difficult to find ways to only hamper specific clubs.

The more they try the more obvious their reasons to do so.
The original reasons are lines of attack that are plainly focused on City but accidentally entrap other Clubs.
Now their "mad dogs crap" approach to changing rules to target us simply shows desperation to get maximum public sympathy via the media and does nothing to help their legal approaches in fact it confirms the trend.

Just an opinion.

What puzzles me with this your sponsor can't be from the same country.
The American owners are ruling out all the sponsor from America for their clubs. That's alot of huge companies the American owned clubs can't use. Probably companies that they know well and have worked with before.

The pl is happy to lose all these huge companies from sponsoring teams in the pl.

I just don't understand it, it makes no business sence to me and only see it harming the pl and the football in this country.

American sponsors won't sponsor mid East clubs, mid East clubs won't sponsor American clubs lol. So the field for sponsorship is very small now and well enable the sponsor to drive down the deals.

Talk about destroying your own league. Other European leagues must be rubbing their hands. Soon all the top players, sponsors, tv money is all coming their way.

The PL can decide. They can wave through the American sponsors if they want.

Chelsea sell a hotel and pocket the profits, thus reducing their PSR deficit. This is perfectly legal at the time of the transaction. The PL do not approve it but try to pass a new rule to outlaw this type transaction. No doubt if the PL had won the vote, they would have withheld approval, thus effectively applying a new rule retrospectively.
It’s just bonkers, corrupt even. Maybe no sympathy for Chelsea, but you have to accept that they have pulled off a coup. One in the eye for the redshirts. If this had been one of them, you can bet the PL would have approved the transaction and subsequently tried to outlaw any other club doing the same thing.
Masters “Hi Liverpool and Arsenal, MUFC have sold a hotel to themselves. Do you have any plans to do the same?”
dippers and arse: “Yes.”
Masters:”Get on with it then so afterwards we can stop others doing this.”

What is funny isn't that their rules are so poorly conceived they have to be closing barn doors all the time (that's not funny that is just tragic incompetence), it's that they can't pass a new rule to outlaw it. So the clubs are telling the PL that they can't prevent a loophole that makes a mockery of the PSR rules. What does that tell anyone?

Don’t forget this is in relation to associated or related parties to the owners. So no, any US company can sponsor a US owned club unless they are owned by the same people. It’s more complicated in the Gulf as the state has huge ownership and influence over most large companies. The rules just don’t deal with this hence the attempts to shoehorn something potentially illegal in place.

The price of football podcast talked ( at 3min 2 secs in ) about how the PL introduced a temporary ban on sponsorship from same countries as the owner when Newcastle were acquired and then replaced it shortly after by the 2021 rules that are in place until the new rules that city are challenging.

I presume one of city’s issues is the speed to change something mid season only when it is a gulf state owner and not, say, Everton.
