The Forest fan is not a happy bunny. Shame.

Didn't take Sandra long to make a tit of himself again, did it?

From the Times article about the ruling:

As I said months ago, and immediately after the ruling was released, it is a real head scratcher why many clubs—especially Arsenal—where so intent on undermining our challenge both privately and publicly…

I’m assuming there’s nothing stopping owners converting debt to equity ?

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I would actually welcome that as it would make it fairly easy to build a case for officiating corruption and collusion.

That's exactly why I'm looking forwards to it. ;-)

I don’t see this as the massive win it’s portrayed as unless we can book those 2 sponsorships that were rejected as not FMV, isn’t that the whole point? Can anyone explain what will happen with these now?

Yes. The investment amount has just doubled :)

Good

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

Love how we’ve stuck the boot in on the tarquins.

And who’d be thought the “fantastically well run” Brighton were doing it all on the sly.

 

[Centurions]

Do we win a trophy for this? If so I’ll need to book a day off.

As long as it's Masters who has to present it.

BBC Sport in Salford certainly are, as was demonstrated clearly by their ludicrous article this afternoon

Disgusting from the BBC, nothing else to add, cunts…..and I never use that word…….more than 6 times a day.

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

Enjoy mate.. You deserve it..

I am afraid you’ve lost me, mate. :-)

 

[Stoned Rose]

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.

Imagine having the cheek to spunk 100m of that on one player.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

Think it was pretty obvious they’d denied us potential sponsorships tbf mate.

it wasn't at all it hadn't been mentioned at all

 

[Skrastins]

Has anyone seen Sandra Tinbridge?

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

He did say, supposed to. He knows it’s a crock, would be my bet.

Do you have a degree in the bleedin' obvious ? :)

Aside from the newfound scrutiny and the expense of doing so.

 

[SatOnTheWall]

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.

It wasn't arbitrary.

Talk about missing the point.
