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

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

Continuing my Telegraph theme today the third article today is a doom laden piece by Oliver Brown that Abu Dhabi is about to unleash a torrent of spending to essentially blow away any traditional rivals for good. Ourselves and Newcastle are about to become a Gulf duopoly.

It manages to be far worse than the pile of shite Sam Wallace produced earlier.

We really are not fucking about.

Cunts are getting glassed all over the pub.

Morning . Could someone with relevant legal knowledge ie PB , Stefan etc throw clarity on the fact that now Newcastle United could now start legal proceedings against the PL as the unlawful rules were also in place to stop them progressing ?
Thanks

That has not been shown or found and was one of the PL win, that it would effect all owners equally.

The timing is suss, but it is what it is

If Newcastle can show that Pl stopped certain sponsorships due to poor procedures, deadlines they could sue for damages.

Probably unlikely

We live in hope.

 

[Palerider]

We seem to have annoyed all the right people so we have definitely 'won'.

The money we are spending and all these legal cases, who pays it. If it comes from the club is it written off in PSR calculations?

Mansour will be paying it. It is not included in the expenditure to meet PSR in the same way the construction of the new stand and hotel isn't, revenue streams from them are though ;)

 

[Stoned Rose]

Difference is, when we write letters, we do it ourselves, like big boys.

It's war, total war.

love it, absolutely fucking love it!

 

[Stoned Rose]

Didn’t realise @bridgeno1 was so small.

And quite right too.
For the Premier League to come out with their insane statement shows the absolute mess they have got themselves into.
The media have shown themselves up as being the red cartels paid shills we all know they are.
Can't stop laughing.

I hope and doubt we will. Mansour has always maintained that he intends to make the club a successful but profitable well run one. I remember when he first took over some clown associated with him claimed this, he was quickly side-lined.
Unlike the PL and the "elite" we're not looking for a one sided playing field that suits only us we are seeking a level one that suits all.

Hopefully this will leak. Would be very interesting to see what City really think of the PLs statement.

Nice one, thanks again. You are my Wikipedia.

 

[Rammy Blue]

That’s awesome, and exceptionally funny at the same time!

It’s all out war.

I think that was obvious with yesterdays post hearing statement.

I like war.

Wow, the fact that he's citing our legal bod by name and not the usual 'source close to the club' suggests this is accurate and we are not fucking about.
Also, the PL 'emergency meeting' looks like a rushed attempt to re-jig the rules to make them legal which city at least is not prepared to accept.

I now can't wait for the 115 verdict, it's going to be utter carnage.

The bottom line on this for me is the PL need to sit down and agree new rules but on much fairer terms. If they maintain the stated objective of the rules and ensure some form of FMV is applied to sponsorships and now financing packages then the burden and standard of proof that any deal is outside FMV becomes much harder to do , it has to be very obviously above FMV - and if they call a deal out may be much easier to challenge with the potential of huge legal costs and compensation. The financial packages much easier to give a value at FMV would think. Just think the PL will tread more carefully in future. An obvious advantage from going down the commercial sponsorship route rather than shareholder loans for us being we get to spend it on the squad and wages even within the new rules around squad costs. We are in a stronger position today than we were pre judgement. In effect we may not have beaten the school bully to a pulp but we have bloodied his nose.

That post didn’t age well! ;-)
