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

[Bluearmy]

It's an interesting situation. Presumably, if the PL was suggesting some strengthening of the existing rules, so business as usual when the agenda for the meeting was sent out.

So what circumstances would lead to a last minute withdrawal?

I can only think of one. The PL got the judgement and/or reasoning document just before the meeting, or an advanced reasoning document for review before publication(wait, that's two, I'll come in again) and have come to the conclusion they are in trouble and so it's not business as usual.

Not sure Panja's minor success in the sponsorship database would lead to a change in PL plans?

Still quietly optimistic.

Can anyone else think of a different explanation for the sequence of events?

Or the IC is yet to rule so PL thought it best to postpone for now…

So in plain English is this in city’s favour yes or no

Na'am

what..?

Panja in the wilderness. How the mighty have fallen

 

[Gundoggin]

I saw it because it appeared in a tweet on the recommendation... I didn't know who it was..

You do now ! ;-) up the fucking blues :)

Why quote this fucking clown ?

Not me.
But there is every possibility he is right, unfortunately, until we all know the outcome.

 

[Newman Noggs]

what..?

That's a very specific claim. If it"s true, his mates at liverpool must have been leaking.

Well they know all about databases at LFC don't they.

But then they wouldn't have tabled it in the first place, presumably?

 

[kaz7]

Tell me when i can celebrate

 

[Gundoggin]

Not getting my hopes up or excited yet. Too many different tweets being posted for and against City and the PL.

Something huge has been leaked to the red top media though .

Why quote this fucking clown ?

Well we quote Ten Bob, and he's an even bigger clown.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Do not tell Stoned Rose

?

It could have been added some time ago (previous meeting), so this could explain that. Piss up in a brewery no doubt, but it is the PL we are talking about so anything’s possible….

[Gundoggin]

Newcastle FC tweeting stuff about huge sponsor deals from Saudi now . Plenty know a lot it seems !

 

[SouthStandStander]

Change the thread title again. Fun while it lasted.

Not necessarily. They may have just got wind of the amendment being pulled and jumped to a conclusion in order to be the first to break the story.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

Could be wrong but I don't think City challenged the APT rules in their entiretly, just the new amendments.

we was for related parties but always against associated parties. quite rightly as well. One's standard accountancy and the other is just made up nonsense.
