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

The muted club world cup has two English clubs invited, us and Chelsea, now that really is boiling piss for the two red shirted clubs.

The new Club World Cup will miss many of the world's biggest sides. Does it matter?

FIFA's latest brainchild will be missing some major stardust when it begins next summer. How does that affect its potential appeal?

I wouldn’t wipe my arse with it, even if it’s on my iPad, let alone pay £1 a month for 12 months to read it.

Something we all thought would be different at the start, but it eventually turned into yet another Red Shirt Cartel online football tabloid.

As for the NYT, just replace that with J.W. Henry, FSG and LFC, who were part owners of the NYT, hence why it got and published all the UEFA FFP leaks about City, as well as running all the anti-City articles and stories.

Agree, but if you are going to impose such limits they can't be different for every team. A spending cap is agreed to and everyone is subject to the same limit. This idea of applying limits on a club by club basis stemming from "revenue" is preposterous especially when the so-called revenue is defined by a whole bunch of subjective, convoluted made up rules. Restricting owner investment is even more absurd. I don't see any world where any of the PSR rules would stand up in a court of law. It's always been the richest clubs win the most. And that was always OK and understood. Until someone richer came along. These rules are an obvious response to such one-time clubs being unhappy with someone richer joining the party. It's a fucking disgrace and mind boggling to me that it's been allowed to go on for so long unchallenged in a court of law. And in the Prem it's actually gotten further and further away from legal competitive principles. The ironic thing is if these same American owners tried this shit in the US it wouldn't stand a chance. Thus the salary caps used in the NFL, NBA, and NHL. Imagine telling the Dallas Cowboys they can spend half a billion while telling the Jacksonville Jaguars they can only spend 200 mil because Dallas has more fans, more commercial income, and a bigger "history" regardless of the fact that the Jaguars' owner might be twice as rich as the Cowboys owner? (hypothetical) Insanity, pure insanity...

Cut n pasted this to use in the increasingly hysterical and quite nasty WhatsApp shit I’m getting from mates of other clubs. Well put mate

There's unlikely to be any news whatsoever until the judge's decision which could still be months away. Civil cases dealing with competition law are pretty unsexy and uninteresting as far as the media is concerned - proceedings tend to be (unless you're a keen student of cases like this) somewhat tedious and rarely if ever get reported by news platforms irrespective of how high profile the case is until there's a decision.

Yes mate but even in the past when we had good news they spin it around like cas for example just glad of a few days piece from the fuckers
 
If that picture in the headline shows the building where the hearing is taking place, I’m not saying it is, I may have found the location of the hearing? Then again I could be miles out, literally. :-) Either way, it’s a bit of fun.

The building cladding, exterior and windows look the same in these 3 pictures as the building in the headline picture.

If I understand you correctly the top picture doesn’t look exactly like the others to me. If you look at the top picture there is no gap between the windows behind the people….unless it’s something to do with how far away they are. In the others there are distinct gaps. Sounding like Father Ted explaining small and far away to Dougal! Good game though. I also could be wrong.

The thing they don't understand the most is that there are alternatives to the Prem. La Liga, the Bundesliga, Serie A, etc. If the Prem drop the ball there are other leagues waiting in the wings to prosper. It's not like some of the other leagues haven't been at the top of the financial food chain in the past. The player supply is also much different. Not every top player around the world has to play in the Prem the way they do in the NFL or NBA. Think of how many South Americans, Africans, and Eastern Europeans play in the so called top 5 leagues (plus Portugal and the Netherlands). It's an entirely different environment from American sports and these a holes are trying to apply their tried and true, monopolistic methods to the Prem. The biggest problem is they own all 3 of the cartel clubs, not by accident, and the rest of the clubs, minus City and Chelsea, are willing to be led around by their noses even if it's to their own long term detriment...it's ridiculous...

Good shout that and it wouldn't take much for La Liga to reclaim top spot.

Getting rid of Master Tebas would probably do it actually!

RM & Arcelona still command huge support from plastics around the world, basically the TV audience.

No surprise how RM seemingly pick up the CL every other year when in reality they ain't that good.

Throw in that **** Mbappe and all eyes will be on them again next year

The PL red shirts don't have a global superstar between them (Salad is probably the closest but he'll be off and wasn't what he was).

Rags, not even in CL

Arse, fucking shite in CL and do not have a world class player ( they really don't).

Dippers, implode incoming.

City are the most talked about and popular team at the minute along with RM, and the PL is trying to destroy us.

Absolute fucking madness!

I heard that on the radio, Hedge Funds and no telling who the investors are


If we suddenly said we are owned by Abu Dhabi Hedge Funds, the PL would say bollocks, you can't grow a hedge in the desert!
