West Ham fans support us
View attachment 134250

Got so much time for this. I know a few Hammers and they're always very supportive of us.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Can our compensation be in additional points, rather than money please?

It’s not as if the club will freeze season ticket prices anyway!

 

[maurizio]

What's the Newcastle fan forum? How are they taking it? I should imagine pretty well..

 

[jrb]

I look forward to seeing Newcastle announce a £1bn sponsorship deal from a Saudi Chainsaw manufacturer and a Riyadh-based stone supplier.

Lol!

And their toilet roll manufacturer.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

All the Twitter bots have been activated by the usual suspects I see.

Rag **** on Talkshite couldn't contain his hatred.
"Make you think City will escape the 225 charges"

Rag ****.

What ever he feels about us, times it by a billion and you'd still be short of the utter fucking hatred I have for that shower of total and utter CUNTS!

 

[BerkshireBlue]

He chose to quote tariq panja while also saying on talksport that he thought we wouldnt win, clearly an intelligent and well informed man but the sources you use and the company you keep goes along way.

but he didn't know what we all know now in that the PL denied City two sponsors for no good reason at all and also the PL letting clubs off with shareholder loans. He was just coming from the angle that discrimination is very hard to prove but given the PL's racist agenda it was actually quite easy by the looks of it.

I fancy Dan Roan had some input. Anyone seen this model of fairness and propriety standing on Ashton New Road, microphone in hand, belabouring the PL for their unlawful rule book?

If I see him I’ll run him dowm…

 

[Gordyola]

Don't hold your breath. Masters has about as much shame as a politician.

Corrected

Haven't read the whole thing, but it seems like we won on all the issues (haven't seen one we lost on yet?) - we lost some of the arguments we made in relation to those issues, but I don't think City argued that they didn't want any rules (it doesn't benefit them at this point) - just that the rules as implemented were illegal.

I think what happened was something like (making these numbers up) we made 10 arguments as to why on each point, and lost on 5 of them, but we only needed 1. Something like that. The overall conclusion seems to be, and I apologize for the legal speak, get fucked Premier League.

City challenged the “amendments” not APT as a whole..

 

[Vienna_70]

The look on Khaldoun's face on the MEN headlines email says it all:

Man City damages, PSR chaos, Arsenal issue - what next for Premier League

Manchester City's victory in key aspects of their legal battle with the Premier League could have far-reaching consequences

[bluemoon32]

The general consensus seems to be that we're cunts for challenging the rules, even though they have now been proved to be unlawful.
Fucking hell

 

[Cobwebcat]

City won’t care how this is spun.

It’s a clear Victory.

Everything we suspected the PL were up too.

The PL cannot govern itself and have runners in the race. It’s designed to encourage bias.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Don’t worry, the consensus on Rag Cafe is that we lost.

You don’t have to be thick to be a rag but…..

Yep. They also recruited good managers in Mourinho OGS Ten Haag Moyes and van gaal. Meanwhile in other news the Easter bunny is alive and well and having dinner with Santa and the tooth fairies

 

[.db.]

The PL amateurs get their comeuppance, the red cartel know the writing’s on the wall and the shitty little clubs who endorsed the tyranny of the majority deserve their never ending lives grubbing around in the shadows

Fuck Brentford
Fuck Bournemouth
Fuck Fulham
Fuck Wolves
Fuck West Ham

Good luck to Chelsea Newcastle and Everton

West Ham fans on our side and against their owners on this.

 

[jrb]

It's shocking how this is being reported. The findings are quite clear. The premier league's rules are unlawful, and their decisions were reached in a procedurally unfair manner.

The PL and Press can paint this however they like, it is clearly a resounding victory for MCFC!

It is. Ask other football fans. The PL can spin it how they want, it won’t work.

 

[laserblue]

I was planning to go down the pub to celebrate but I'm already very, very drunk.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Got so much time for this. I know a few Hammers and they're always very supportive of us.

To be fair to them, West Ham fans know with the right investment they could have a decade like we have had (and who can begrudge them), and business as usual is designed to lock them out forever.

I don't love that English football has created a world where that is the only way you can win a league or two, but it's the world that the American red shirts have created.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Please tell me the rags have a MASSIVE amount of shareholder loans

The Glazers don't give them fuckall unfortunately, now Arsenal on the other hand...

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Wait til Pep signs a 5 year extension.

With his wages sponsored by Emirates Palace.

"owner interest free loans"

Isn't that THE VERY definition of financial doping?

You absolutely would think so wouldn’t you. That’s exactly what this suggests is happening though. Arsenal to the extent of 200+ million have had interest free owner investment. No idea what impact that’s had on their PSR, but it stinks and just shows how manipulative the rules they have cooked up are.
