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

[Zabbasbeard]

Let me get this straight.

So we stand accused of getting an unfair financial advantage by disguising something like £60m of funding as sponsorship revenue (yet to be proven).

While it turns out that half the league have been pumping hundreds of millions into their clubs through interest free loan agreements in a manner that has been found by a court of law to unfairly distort competition.

Yet because the latter was sanctioned discrimination, inserted into the rules by the Premier League itself and waved through by a majority of clubs, nobody batted an eye?

And the average fan on the street is under the impression we're the ones 'financially doping'?

Am I missing something, or is this not absolutely fucking outrageous?

It's absolutely fucking outrageous to say the very least.

After so long of being on the receiving end of a kicking it feels great to finally dish some back. I hope it's causing a lot of the cunts who did so sleepless nights.

It’s now back on the Premier League and how far they want to take 115. Yes today isn’t related to what’s happening over the next few weeks, however there is the establishment that the Premier League acts in an unlawful manner on behalf of its stakeholders with vested interests,

We’ve seen with Leicester they don’t even know how to interpret their own rule book. Their pursuit to destroy City is starting to look like it’s really going to hit them hard in the pocket through their own naive belief they could land something on the club. What a glorious day.

On the day its announced he's appearing in an arena in the city he lives in ( literally yards away from the Etihad) he appears on a national radio station inferring City's guilt ....how stupid can one get

I really hope they don’t sell any tickets.

The Premier League is a busted flush. Corrupt and incompetent at the same time. Remember Scudamore commenting in 2014 about the EPL needs a strong rag. Ten years on it hasn't changed.

And City are now the most watched team in TV in the world. Not the rags, Lfc or Arsenal. But City!

In a nutshell the Premier League and UEFA both tried to stop us spending our own money by constantly tweaking the rules and the Premier League have allowed other teams to inject their own money at will into their own coffers whilst constantly trying to stifle us with every dirty trick in the book.

If ‘they’ really are as bent as we believe, then we should expect the annual allowable losses will be increased to accommodate the impact/costs of the shareholder loans.

The annual allowances if increased would also need to be applied retrospectively to ensure previous years compliance. But this would lift to allowances to a figure which means that Everton and Forrest would have been compliant and therefore shouldn't have been deducted points. What a shit show..

 

[SebastianBlue]

They will be fine the firing squad will be composed of darwin nunez, joshua zirkzee, anthony and timo werner

And Ten Hag will be inspecting the guns for professional standards.

By producing more shares you would be diminishing the overall value of the investment

Is that not what I said?

 

[Don Karleone]

Total City result.
But amazed Brighton are in hock to owner 'loans' - they have been the best player traders for years, should surely be well in bank credit..?

I'm not. Bloom is a ****.

Bloom is a gambler and analyst by trade he was never putting his own money in without being able to get it bk

Yeah my apologies

 

[mrbelfry]

The leagues rejection of it was found to be procedurally unfair.

On what grounds? I thought that was the only one that wasn't. Unless it was to do with the database? My understanding is we won on the other two due to the unreasonable delay

Edit*** sorry I read all 163 pages but failed to read the summary at the end.

 

[Bald fraud]

Hmmm. So what will these cunts dream up next? Is my only worry

 

[Cobwebcat]

So at the end of the day the PL’s procedures were wrong. They will amend them so they are lawful and city get a second crack at getting their deals through with no guarantee of success.

Hardly seismic.

We won though and the PL look incompetent. We might get some compensation if the PL and City can agree a figure.

It doesn’t open the doors for huge spending by Newcastle or anyone else.

They are the facts with blue tinted specs off.

They are incredibly stupid not to realise that all this would have come out eventually if they took us to court.

Did they seriously think we would just roll over and accept the charges?

I will be waiting.

Hey, that's mine!

I knew I stole it off someone now I know who : )

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I don't give a fuck about what those cunts say. The facts are out there in black and white. We know they hate us, the more damage we do to the lot of them, the more pain they feel, the more beautiful it is.

Me neither! We stuffed Uefa, and now the PL. The PL cocksuckers are smarting like fuck, and are clutching at straws to make the disaster appear to be a little less than that which befell the Titanic.

 

[WestGorton]

I'm not. Bloom is a ****.

Like Sullivan who is disowned by West Ham supporters
