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

[MCFC1993]

Oof thats a big blow for the PL in this. We've handled this very well post verdict. They've tried to get ahead of this and been made to look like idiots.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Emergency meeting with every club CEO and now going back on their original comments and aligning with the patient approach that City suggested… because they won. Obviously.

Imagine Khaldoon’s head sat in that meeting.

There does seem to be a problem of governance at the PL. Presumably Master has to ultimatey report to his management Board. But he seems to communicate directly with individual Club Directors a lot. The Newcastle email was a case in point. Who are his paymasters?

Who are the people on the PL Financial Controls committee? These are the same shills who drafted the current APT rules knowing them to be unlawful and who will no doubt want to redraft them in the same manner.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Well shit, would you look at that!

I think it’s Soranio

You really need to ask that question? Red Cartel.

Fuck. Someone buy this arse a blue pencil!!!!!
Wake up cunty the big boys are in town

Was thinking exactly the same, clearly the blue pencil test has failed.

New kid? ;)

 

[red 2 hats]

Think the reported score draw has gone to extra time and City have just taken the lead.

I trust all the "journalists" along with the rival fans that rubbished our statement against the premier league's ill advised planned next steps will of course be taking back all the moronic things said and recognising City were not only in the right but also applauding their response urging the premier league not to rush into yet another damning and costly legal case they were destined to lose.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Their lawyers must have asked for clarity from one of the Judges from the hearing. i wonder if Masters signed off the comms without checking with his own lawyers.

It's crazy, they had 12 days sitting on the verdict to get the correct legal advice for their statement. I must admit their total incompetence gives me even more hope that we will prevail in the big one.

 

[Cobwebcat]

Remember the losses were only minor and will be correct by Thursday…oh wait.

PL clubs still “rallying round” Richard then?

 

[Blue Maverick]

I don't mind Ian Wright either but as of the last 18 months he has done nothing but show his arse about us.
Us pipping Arsenal twice has really brought out the mardarse in him that I never knew was in there. I thought he was this geezer who loved his football but he's turned into a proper little cry baby.

Probably doesn’t help when his son winds him up everytime we beat them, go on Shauny Wright Wright Wright.

 

[Roachy]

This bit from the knee jerk PL post verdict statement now looking very silly:

" The Tribunal did, however, identify a small number of discrete elements of the Rules which do not, in their current form, comply with competition and public law requirements (more information below). These elements can quickly and effectively be remedied by the League and clubs".

Think the reported score draw has gone to extra time and City have just taken the lead.

Haaland hat-trick

It's almost like Swales has been reincarnated ....

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

The Times are leading the way on this story. As they done pretty much since day one. But they seem to have changed their editorial position to be more sympathetic to City. Perhaps City's comms team are being more proactive. It's just speculation from me but I wonder if The Times team know what is in the emails between some Club Directors and the PL. Tolmie has suggested those emails are damaging to the PL's 115 case. Perhaps the Times (and the Mail) want to end up on the winning side. It certainly looks like they are going after Masters.

What a lovely start to the weekend....within 24 hours this will somehow be spun by the press
