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

[Colin Bells Boots]

And he actually said there is no portion of the ruling that the premier league could consider a victory

Must have nearly choked him , but fair play to him.

But he's still an utter knob and arse-licker

 

[Shazza458]

Even Stefan got this one very wrong

 

[bigA]

The twats at the BBC trying to put a different spin on the decision.

We now know for certain who are enemies are - Rags, Bus Wreckers, The Arse, Spurs, Brighton and Wet Sham. Bastards the lot.

I will now look on - Chelsea, Bar Codes, Forest and the Toffees as really good guys.

Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Brighton and Hove Albion will be now forever known as the red cartel arseholes and the haemorrhoid clubs hanging onto them.

They drew the fucking rules up! So to breach them is irrefutable proof they cheated just to stop us. There can be no other explanation surely???

You might be giving them too much credit. The Premier League couldn’t even work out whether Leicester were a member of the premier league or not …

 

[homerdog]

No doubt Stone and Roan at the BBC will be desperately trying to find a way to paint this as a victory for the PL and their redshirt stooges, hence no proper analysis yet.

 

[Coatigan]

City win, they've never tried to challenge the legality of the APT system as a whole, so I'm guessing they tacked this on the end of their main complaint about the new rules just because they could and because why not.

My understanding is that when writing these things, lawyers will throw in absolutely every argument they can reasonably make because you only get one hearing and you could end up with your first 3 arguments rejected and a 4th saving you. City won on the points they went to the tribunal over (the new rules) and lost on the bits they added on the end.

Thanks, despite an obvious joke wide open there, I got that from the club statement.

Richard Masters should resign today.

He should.
Implementing unlawful rules.
If that wasn’t bad enough he then has the cheek to go to court to try to defend their unlawfulness.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

He looks a right ****.. again!

That's not news !

 

[willipp]

Puts Arsenal in the shitter apparently, £200m in shareholder loans that could see them breach PSR.

Imagine if we won the league by a point after Arsenal are docked 6 points for failing PSR.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Anyone dressing this up as anything vaguely resembling a score draw is a know nowt ****.

Or the spoiled brat who foot stamps on the spot, eyes shut and fingers in their ears like it hasn’t happened.

 

[OntarioBlue]

The top 3 we all know are protectionist bullies. The fans of the others should really be directing serious questions to their owners and boards. Why allow those running your clubs to turn you into cuckolds to the greedy, insecure red filth?

I hope the bottom five on the list remember this day when they are looking to the top three for a fair share of the Premier League spoils in future and the reaction is “fuck off”

 

[mike1923]

Now we have established that West Ham are as bad as the rest can we finally get rid of @BlueHammer85 for pretending to be on our side all these years?

Never trusted him tbh.. :-)

Yeah fuck him! Just kidding

 

[Georgian Maestro]

Are the BBC the only major media outlet going against the grain of it being anything other than a huge city victory?

 

[TonyM]

This is all fine but I hope Pep has Ederson practising penalty saves. A penostorm isa comin.

 

[spacecadet]

Christ on a bike !

Never thought that day would ever arise ......................
( well not in my lifetme - the drunken old bully must be one miserable fucker right now )

I hope Crerand has diarrhoea all week too.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Miggy Deloony for one. His latest tweets are dripping in denial and bitterness

As I said, know nowt cunts.

 

[surprisedbygrass]

What a wonderful way to start the International Break (instead of the usual City take downs on slow news days )

 

[Bluearmy]

He looks a right ****.. again!

Give him his due, he’s remarkably consistent at this….

 

[cityboy2602]

Martin Samuel has a piece on this in The Times, entitled

Seismic verdict for football that leaves financial rules in tatters​

Unfortunately, it's behind their paywall. Could someone weave their magic and post a link to a shared version?

That isn't our problem, they need prosecuting.
