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

Ah well,I guess that’s the death of football in this country then!?…
How many clueless pricks were writing this shit when the case first came out?!I don’t think they’ll all planning on getting real jobs now,are they?..’kin state of them is embarrassing.
 
usual suspects in full force to put a spin on it that PL won, or City did not win big actually. very much expected, still the early reports all said huge City win, and that will stick now. otherwise why would certain clubs express their disappointment.

big pressure on Masters to comment on it, especially the unlawful elements and the unfair process specifically subjected to City.

we just looked few bits and pieces of the APT rules and panel immediately found issues, how many other PSR rules are crap/illegal/wrong
 
It’s clear that we won. However it looks like the main reasons relate to unfair practices that didn’t give City a right to challenge a verdict given certain information that was withheld. Ironically it sounds like they lost because they failed to co-operate!

It does sound like the judges are anxious for the PL and City to reach a fair out of court settlement. If they can’t then City can ask the court to decide which could be nothing or significant.

Club loans could be converted to equity?

All me guessing of course and trying to read between the lines.
 
I am getting these shirts printed in all sizes for my pop up City apparel shop ahead of the Wolves game. ;-)

Still getting my head around this bit.
The unamended APT rules were found to be compliant but only if they incorporate an assessment of shareholder loans. That means they are not compliant.
To comply the rules will need changing and the premier league will have to vote on this. As it stands there are about 12 premier league clubs who will be seriously negatively effected by this (not utd sadly). Will they vote for a rule change that will hurt them financially or just scrap the lot? Suddenly teams like Arsenal may loose all interest in the APT process if it was to be applied fairly.

I’m not missing any point, a poster asked if the PL actually won anything at all and the answer is yes.

You can claim the club didn’t have a problem with the original APT rules, that doesn’t change the fact they just spent a lot of time and money trying to get them thrown out, the rules were on the line and we were unsuccessful, which is a win for the PL.

It might not be something the club are devastated about, but it’s ridiculous to claim that winning an argument at arbitration isn’t a win when the consequences of losing would have been huge.

They’re entitled to celebrate that because they’d be absolutely fucked if we’d won.

If we won that they wouldn't be fucked because uefa have fair value and if clubs want to be in Europe they have to abide by those rules
 
The Premier League seem to be wasting a hell of a lot of their shareholders’ money hiring expensive silks to try and uphold the rules.

It’s a waste as the rules seem to have been drawn up by Lionel Hutz.
