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

Yes I think he' speaks verry from the heart, maybe not rapid with the one liners. I once asked him at a supporters club thinking of the Palace game where he sprang from midfield where he liked to play and was surprised to hear him say Centre Back. Nice fella bit quiet maybe.

It's hard to believe the PL lawyers would have approved a press statement which was basically false. They have their own reputation to think about. Lawyers are usually very cautious in these situations. For the PL to claim they won the case because some of City's arguments at the hearing failed was just ridiculous. It made their own lawyers look stupid. The bottom line is the Judges stated in robust terms that the PL acted unlawfully, unfairly, and unreasonably. I wonder if the press statement was not cleared by the PL's own lawyers.
What’s been telling is the number of cunts in the media that have fallen into line with this absurd way of thinking, not because they have a clue about the subject matter, but because it suits their aspirations and bank balance.
 

I don’t have twitter, what does the bit in the box say in full please?

There is also a subtle but pretty significant piece of legalese in the verdict,
too. The panel found that, by overlooking shareholder loans, the Premier
League were found to have breached competition law 'by object". This
means that the league actually set out to do it, rather than did it by
accident. It is similar when it comes to abuse of power by the league.”
 
The Sunday papers might have a bash at this story though. It is unravelling very fast for the PL leadership. What has happened behind the scenes is an interesting story involving some very big global sports brands.
That's a very good point. Brands supporting even red cartel clubs may be worried that obvious lies and bias will eventually damage their public perception. The BBC had better learn from this experience and educate their sports staff.
 
Just got an email from the supporters club attaching a request from Kevin Parker that we all sign a petition to force Masters to resign.

Why is he doing this ? What exactly is getting rid of Masters going to achieve. He’s not the policy maker, he’s just the mouthpiece of the owners.
And besides, isn’t this just provocation on Parker’s part. We’ve just won a major victory, let’s just wait for the dust to settle a bit before provoking even more negativity towards us.
Simple

Don’t sign it
 
Indeed, which makes their statement on Monday seem all the more disingenuous.

“These elements can quickly and effectively be remedied by the League and clubs.”

I can’t really work out how that happened if the PL knew at the time it was going back to the tribunal. There’s no rational reason for them to do it.
