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

[SebastianBlue]

The thing is the judgement was given 2 weeks ago and city where happy for it to be published but it's taken the Premier league 2 weeks to come out with that wank statement...

Yes, this will get lost in the hack articles, league spin, and partisan point scoring.

This was such a win for City that they likely wanted the full decision to be immediately released to the other 19 clubs (and thus the public, as we all know how these things work these days), but the PL wanted to delay the disclosure so they could formulate some sort of plan to frame the decision as not actually a rebuke of their unlawful, unfair, and incompetent actions. And to avoid the verdict having more of an impact on the 115 charges case ongoing.

And they still managed to cock that up.

That is how desperate, corrupt, and especially incompetent they are.

Thanks. This the main Times story but Samuel has also done a commentary piece. Could you post this too, ta.

Sorry, don't subscribe to The Times, pal.
Maybe @freshie can help you.

I know it's sport - but having watched 30 minutes about this on Sky - wow, how low-brow and vacuous can presenters and "experts" be?

 

[HelloCity]

Tim Lewis at Arsenal is going to be pulling his hair out now.

 

[G-Star Medium Rare]

BBC putting a weird spin on the decisions. Sky saying " nothing to see here. Move along." Such outrageous bias against City.

 

[reddishblue]

Jordan will have to ask his puppet master Levy what the upshot is before commenting. **** of a human.

I suspect Jordan will call in sick tomorrow.

'relatively narrow success' lol what a complete tool that bloke is

Fucking fraud.

 

[Metal Biker]

So... when do we get reparations?

 

[bridgeno1]

It will make a huge difference if I'm reading it correctly. Arsenal and a fair few other clubs with zero interest shareholder loans will fail whatever form of ffp we're now operating with. That means a possible points deduction and fine, not to mention going into the red. So basically fucked.

Yeah but it isn't retrospectively applied. So they'll have to factor in an extra £20m for the loans or so however in reality what you'll see is a massive Walmart sponsorship deal at whatever value the Kroenkes can get away with so I don't think it affects Arsenal in reality as that will just replace the shareholder loans. It's the same money basically.

Smaller clubs without super wealthy owners who own other massive companies may feel it more though.

I’d long become immune to any progress being made on this.

I was ideally surfing the internet and thought I’ll see what is happening in the world and went onto the BBC website.

Reading it (and I know nothing aboit the ins and out of case) I thought oh dear we’ve not done well here !

Nw fella I can guarantee you are chatting shite

@cityboy2602 I have posted a few paged back.

The Times article couldn't resist speculating about 115 fallout and the potential punishments, including relegation in the penultimate paragraph. Predictably pathetic. Might be more relevant to speculate about the fall out for the PL from this, seeing as they even broke their own rules trying to get to City. What about Masters's role in all this? Nope, instead they divert to speculating about City.

Hopefully this is just the start of us showing up the PL and client journalists for what they are.

If anyone needs relegating it’s those cunts who run the PL.

Surely the fucking lot of them need to fuck off and resign now.

 

[City Raider]

Moving forward my automatic response to anyone throwing out ‘115’ will be ‘Page 164’.

Have we won?!

 

[SebastianBlue]

Tim Lewis at Arsenal is going to be pulling his hair out now.

No he won’t.

 

[N1985]

Hope you cunts get walloped with huge sanctions seeing as it was your snide, corrupt owners who have been behind the attacks against our club from day one.

Correct

I'm not sure you'll wriggle out of it that easily.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

There’s a handful of journalists and media who have burned all bridges with City in their desperate hope that we are the big bad wolf they have painted us as for the last few years.
They have relied on this for clicks and engagements and to keep a wage coming in.
Now there’s light at the end of the tunnel and the reality is hitting that we might actually be cleared of everything they’ve decided to double down and try and eek out the last of their stories knowing that before long they will all be a laughing stock.

Fuck’em all the cunts.

I agree. And we should bar the hateful cunts from The Etihad from wining and dining, and taking the piss at our expense.

 

[eyalluvitt]

That Samuel's article is fecking damming. There has to be some fallout.
Can today get any better, I might not need viagra tonight;-)
