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

[bernard o'silver]

This contradicts what you said does it not? You assured that any changes to unlawful rules would need to be made with immediate effect, whilst this report says they would have to be voted on first.

What happens if 14 clubs vote against any changes ???

 

[blue whippet]

Must be killing the other clubs that City know but they don’t…

I bet some of them do though

Pretty unlikely, albeit amusing.

Not much point in having a rule that's deemed illegal, as it's unenforceable.

For full disclosure, I held 3 paper rounds for different employers as a youth.

I was relieved of my position on all 3 occasions for failing to deliver said newspapers.

Sometimes life just gets in the way............. :-)

That's where my scarf went? Left outside the stony's in Timperley Village.

If they are deemed illegal then I'd have thought the PL have to remove them regardless. A vote would be needed to enact new rules presumably but there may be a window when there are no rules. I fully expect Chelsea to go wild again if that's the case.

No, but I’ve just found out that Dave Whelan broke his leg in the 1960 FA Cup Final

I know, Elton John's uncle told me.

I was a bit puzzled when you said on TS the lack of rule changes probably indicated no significant victory by City. My thoughts were that a vote would have to precede any alteration and the report that one was scheduled then abandoned indicated problems for the PL. (Btw I hope you came back at Matterface after his concluding sneer that you wouldn't be welcome at the club these days - quite the opposite I'm sure ;-)

It's all so confusing. Only a small number of people at the club, the PL and the arbitrators themselves know what the judgment is, but some outlets claim to know there has been a judgment.

No-one has leaked the judgment but we are supposed to believe that someone has leaked that there has been a judgment?

All very strange. Still not completely convinced.

The rules to be changed would be unenforceable and if no new rules were introduced there would be no rules in those areas.

Sounds like gravy

Could this be reasonably taken to imply that the protagonists, City and EPL, are in discussion to find a mutually acceptable form of rules before the PL puts any proposed rule changes to the clubs ?
In any event, it seems to confirm that City - at worst - have had a measure of success.

 

[spinney]

Are we possibly discussing compensation?

Oooh I hope so !

 

[ancoats]

Are we possibly discussing compensation?

Oooh I hope so !

Let's cut a deal with the 115 charges and call it quits

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Are we possibly discussing compensation?

......down to the last cent and no less.

100s of millions are at stake.

They will have to find a load more dosh to
Pay for further litigation

Welsh league would be preferable, and probably the same standard.

I'm lost please just tell me
Is any of this news voting good for us?
Or are we sweating again
Bleeding Poirot couldn't work this out, I'm sure

Reading between the lines it looks like we've had a result. We don't know if it was a scrappy 1-0 or if we battered them 5-0 or anything in between as of now.
