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

[Colin Bells Boots]

They also think their the biggest club in the world just because they sell the club badge onto any old shit like Japanese bogroll..

More a brand than a football club.

Been that way for a long time.

I know a lot on here slagging the BBC off but Radio 4 PM is pretty solid on news reporting. Its the only News programme I listen to.

I don't think that the entire BBC are out for us, but I do believe (as with Sky and TNT) they are riddled with ex red shirt scumbags who play to what they feel are the mainstream audience.

 

[cleavers]

Everyon else had the text with the score flash,

City 1 premier league 0

Pannick 68th minute

Lets hope it updates to 2-0 115th minute ;-)

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Think it’s fair to say Stefan isn’t the oracle some think him to be.

A very good poster and I’m not knocking him at all but he isn’t the all seeing eye.

No I wasn’t knocking him either mate. Hes clearly very knowledgable. If what I remember is right, he just didn’t see how we could win this for whatever reason.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

1. Premiere league take action against City involving 115 breaches
2.City hire the top man Lord Pannick to fight case.
3.Lord Pannick whilst going through paperwork finds something regarding APT that doesn't seem right.
4.City feel the same,take the prem to court and win.
5.Prem are a bunch of cunts.

I'm surprised SSN don't have a black banner across the bottom of the screen. Like when someone of note has kicked the bucket. They're nearly in mourning over there.

 

[hertsblue]

Also damming in this report is the page 7th October Newcastle taken over then an owner from another club emailed the PL on behalf of him and 10 other clubs asking for a meeting within 5 days or sooner to amend related party transactions. Tomlie also posted this on X which is bound to be true based on the stictch Newcastle up email:

Emails were demanded from the Premier League. They painted a disgraceful picture which bodes well for our 115 case.

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

Absolute tune from the most uncommercial follow up to a hugely commercial album ever.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Lol!

And their toilet roll manufacturer.

Sheikh Francis Al-Lee?

?? I thought part of the 115 were for rules that weren't even in place

Where I understand City might have the biggest issues are some allegations around City execs misrepresenting owner funding as sponsorship income. Anyway I'm far from an expert on this and it's only based on some things I've heard which are just as likely to be bollocks as not so please don't take this as my personal opinion, only a response to what I've heard are possibly the toughest of the 115 charges for City to overcome.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

So if I get this straight the Red vested interests, aka previous cartel owners, came after us for inflated sponsorship deals which were found to be ok but then the beast of unintended consequences reared their head and said before we go what about the murky way you finance your club and these free loans, the true cost if which should be hitting your p and l like a normal company. Let’s count that now.

And oops a daisy there goes Arsenal’s free ride. Beware what you wish for. Now let’s get the 115 done. And hope they go after leveraged debt funding model too.

Karma for the fucking hypocrites and cabal membership based upon entitlement, greed and jealousy.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Just finishied work and logged on to see this news. Time for a power wank I think!

 

[SiMCFC]

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.

So what you are saying is, its ok for your Owner to invest money in the Club? Interesting.

 

[I'm Blue]

Wait til Pep signs a 5 year extension.

7 years
1+1+5 = 7 : )

 

[meltonblue]

This is what I have never understood, why doesn't Mansour loan us the money we need as per Arsenal/United?View attachment 134249

Mansour does even better than that, he invested equity in us.

Loans aren’t for the profit and loss, they’re for the balance sheet. What then shows on the profit and loss is any interest payable on those loans.

Some clubs don’t have any losses as the loan is interest free. If they now have to come under APT, then they won’t be allowed to do that (and anything that forces owners to put in equity rather than loans should be seen as a very very good thing for clubs financial stability - it’s what protects them from if an owner does want to leave or has their assets frozen like an Abramovic).

I know a lot on here slagging the BBC off but Radio 4 PM is pretty solid on news reporting. Its the only News programme I listen to.

To be fair, the reporting on the BBC site has been shocking.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Why is the bbc sport website spinning it that the PL won most of this, yet even Sky has the headline than City won?

Who cares?

 

[supercity88]

I recall him on talksport when this started that he expected us to lose this one. If I’m incorrect on that someone can correct me. I’m pretty sure he did say that though.

To be fair to him no one knew what was being challenged in court. They had suspicions but I think Stefan commented largely on the claims that emerged regarding the fact there was a collective of clubs looking to stifle others and xenophobia. He didn't see how a system that requires a majority vote could be seen to be unlawful.

They also think their the biggest club in the world just because they sell the club badge onto any old shit like Japanese bogroll..

Where can i get some? Quite happy to wipe my arse on their badge.
