On sky?.She's one horrible scouse loving ****.

It’s a good 17 mins of viewing just now. Firstly about us, then onto how shit rags are.

What does this mean?

City had no problem with the original APT rules. They claimed the later amendments were unlawful and have been proved correct

I know it has been posted in the thread, but I just wanted to give it another direct link to the article (rather than the archive link) so that clicks and engagement could be driven to Samuel’s excellent content for those with access.

These outlets only really care about what content drives the most ad revenue and so we should be very selective about which links we share. But I think, even if it gives The Times some revenue they could use to beat City with later, this is content that should be supported and amplified by blues.

Seismic verdict for football that leaves financial rules in tatters​

The Premier League overplayed its hand and now the whole concept of PSR is in the bin. Man City’s legal victory could have huge consequences for some clubs​

City “failed” in our challenge to the PL’s APT rules and enforcement actions the same way we “failed” in our UEFA FFP case: only idiots that can’t/won’t read and people that ignore reality for their own aims believe that nonsense.

I read it as we provided a whole lot of reasons why we believed the rules were unlawful. The fact that the panel agreed with some of the reasons means the rules are unlawful. The fact they didn’t agree with every reason doesn’t make the rules a bit lawful. They’re unlawful full stop.

It’s like saying a disallowed goal wasn’t offside but it was only disallowed because of a foul on the keeper. It doesn’t make it a part goal.

Jesus, the fucking world's going to implode when we get found not guilty on the 115 isn't it.

Going through all this shit because the old guard really didn't want the new boys taking over, which is basically what the last 16 years boils down to. FFP, PSR blah blah blah. Wasn't a fucking problem on the 30th August 2008 was it.

They fucking shat their pants when little old City dropped a fucking wedge on Robinho.

Just checking out twatter and seen someone saying Pep might be on way soon to Abu Dhabi to sign a 2 year extension!?

SSN: We are going to start with a partial victory for Manchester City

Like Fulham at home was a partial victory?

Oh how I wish I could've been in Arsenal's Boardroom this morning. Now that APT has to integrate shareholder loans they'll be losing their minds.

Stay humble eh!

That could really fuck up Brighton so we’ll see how the Brighton supporting finance guy reports it. He’s been disingenuous throughout.

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...

Obviously a deliberate tactic to delay publication until the international break. Shameless until the end (which is coming).

Spoiler: Lyrics - quite apt

A hierarchy
Spread out on the nightstand
The spirit of team
Salvation is another chance
A sore loser
Yelling with my mouth shut
A cracking portrait
The fondling of trophies
The null of losing
Can you afford that luxury?
A sore winner
But I'll just keep my mouth shut
It shouldn't bother me
It shouldn't bother me
It shouldn't bother me
It shouldn't but it does
The small victories
The cankers and medallions
The lips on my face
They keep me thinking, that someday
I might beat you
But I'll just keep my mouth shut
It shouldn't bother me (no)
It shouldn't bother me (no, no)
It shouldn't bother me
It shouldn't but it does
It shouldn't bother me (no, no)
It shouldn't bother me
It shouldn't bother me
It shouldn't bother me
If I speak at one constant volume
At one constant pitch
At one constant rhythm right into your ear, you still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear

Only 2?

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

It depends on what the new rules are. For sure you don't apply penalties to rules that weren't in place at the time. But it now means APT transactions aren't arbitrarily capped by the PL. I'd say that's particularly good news for Newcastle as well.

 

[Ducado]

So what are the practical implications?
