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

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I don't see how the PL will be delighted to find out their rules were illegal, they need a rewrite and they may have to pay compensation ?

Part of the framework needs to be rewritten. These get done all the time. Is it guaranteed that the rewriting will be beneficial to us?

All we can do from here is see how it plays out. We’ve forced their hand and seem to be on the attack, so we’re in unchartered, interesting waters.

Definitely time to get the popcorn out.

Give it a rest please..and read his quote...it says "it's unlikely that city prove that these rules aren ALL unlawful"......how many rules were actually proven to be "unlawful"? Did we get all the APT rules overturned?

Check out the clubs release today,if they are correct all the APT rules are now void

I will give that a miss, I tend to want to watch comedians who are funny.

He's on the same level as Stan Boardman, who was another unfunny big toothed **** like Ken Dodd. What is it with teeth and scousers? Cilla Black also had teeth like a gypsies horse.

Plain ignorant/stupid, jealousy, tribal bias , awaiting mental assessment and treatment.

Are you my psychiatrist? ;-)

Martin Samuel's article is total nonsense though. Who do you think reads and agrees with that piece? Nobody outside BM. Pointless.

Did he? His tweet from last night says that Samuel went "too far"....that's what I was referring to, perhaps he said something else later on?

He totally rubbished Martin Samuels article, I've posted his reply to me above your quote.

I think this is a peek into the 115 verdict where both sides claim victory. Even individual blues will have differing ideas I suspect.

Anyhow, looks like this is fizzling out for now. Been a good 24 hours, enjoyed it.

I think the real fun part is about to start.
Fasten your seat belts.

It’s been mint.

problem now being that I've done fuck all but be on BM during waking hours, now running out of time for jobs that need doing.

Worth it though, despite shit from Mrs Bell on her return !

 

[GSW Blue]

It’s been mint.

I liked it when somebody suggested producing evidence and it was duly produced only to be ignored / rubbished / requested for a second time. Bishop might not be funny but this place is hilarious at times.

Samuel’s piece was an opinion piece. Some will agree with it and others won’t.

Let's get back on topic now please, rather than arguing about something someone might or might not have said months ago.

 

[GSW Blue]

So did we win or not?

 

[Stoned Rose]

We are a shareholder of the PL whose existence and operations have been attacked and besmirched as a consequence of the dishonesty and lack of integrity of the CEO.

The CEO has also been responsible for introducing laws which have been found to be unlawful and directly affecting the running of the club.

In introducing such rules at the behest of certain US owned clubs, City have been denied to same financial operating conditions as teams operating in direct. Those teams have a lso been able to rely upon financial loans to boost their income, and yet not have those loans reflected in their PSR assessments, and have therefore benefitted unfairly when compared to less favoured teams.

Your approach seems to ignore the outcome of the tribunal's decision for the sake of accuracy.

The use of the word " winning " by posters, whilst technically incorrect, is used to express their feelings possibly relief, fear of the challenge not being upheld, and is an expression of the club's success in challenging and being successful against the cabal.

Rather than insisting on pedantry, perhaps allow posters a few moments of enjoyment ?

Top post.

Not finished the course yet.

 

[Rammy Blue]

I don’t think so.

However Cliff warns that it is "remarkable that the Premier League is now seeking to involve the member clubs in a process to amend the APT rules at a time when it does not even know the status of those rules".

He added: "We will be writing separately about this to the Premier League but in the meantime, given the findings in the award, this is the time for careful reflection and consideration by all clubs, and not for a knee-jerk reaction.

"Such an unwise course would be likely to lead to further legal proceedings with further legal costs. It is critical for member clubs to feel that they can have trust in their regulator."

Cliff's letter will also increase speculation that City may take further legal action to claim compensation for any losses they argue they have suffered as a result of the rules.

What part of “for now” did you struggle with, lol?

You are the master, mate, of posting an article we’ve been discussing for hours on here. Told you before, there’s about a 5 minute window before it’s on here, hahaha. Always gives me a chuckle that you think you’re bringing breaking news to the forum!

Absolutely. That wasn't why I posted slbsn's reply to me. It was in answer to @IcriedwhenTueartleft's query asking if he totally dismissed Martin Samuel's article.

We lost yesterday and we lost today.
We don’t give a fuck because we’re all lawyered up.
