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

So will City still have to pay 50% costs even now that the PL have completely withdrawn the rules for a seemingly complete rewrite? (IE admitted they were wrong).

Do you even see the schism between reality and what the media tell opposition fans?

City will get most of their costs from the PL. PL will have to pay their own.

It’s hilarious how badly things are unraveling for them. They don’t know how to interpret their rules and they are either not aware or very aware that their rules are illegal in English Law. Their row back from the initial statement which City highlighted was incorrect to where they are now is a jaw dropping insight to how badly the Premier League is run.

I eagerly await the conclusion of the 115 hearing as the fall out for the PL will be biblical. The associated parties ruling is garlic bread and olives on the starter whilst the main course of 115 is steak and lobster frying and in the pot to make a horrible but tasty shit sandwich for the PL.

Glass of finest boiled piss on the side.

That's exactly what I was thinking. When they voted on the adoption of APTs, a purely cartel created legal mythology, what are those non cartel clubs thinking ?
What do they want for themselves?, what do the cartel promise them ?. They can't be that intellectually lacking to just believe the cartel decree "stop City FFS".
For example, West Ham why would they deny themselves a class of potential sponsorship that could transform them like us ? would it be the worst thing in the world to see the Hammers as champions of England. But as sure as God made little green apples that will never happen with the cartel owning the PL.

Aside: On the subject of 'arms length Fair Market Values' who the feck on planet earth could justify paying Masters a salary of £1.8m per annum. What other organisation in the world would be prepared to pay that imbecile that amount ?

£1.8m, explains why not resigned

I wouldn’t trust Ziegler an inch. He believed that propaganda video a couple of years ago about Etisalat and the mystery £100m and called it the biggest scandal in football. It was plainly obvious that the video was propaganda but Z couldn’t see that and trashed us in the Times.

He’s a **** and a KFA which is quite the combination.

Huge consequences, yes. If, and it's still an if, of course, APT really is null and void since inception, then FFP/PSR will also, presumably, if challenged, be null and void for the same reasons. Can you imagine what a mess that would cause? Huge bargaining chip for the club, or any other club for that matter ....

Seemed to me that is what Samuel was hinting at.

APT is null and void. Possibly City may now argue that leaving debt out of the rules was a "by object" favouring of clubs purchased with debt.

Cuntish is a beautiful word and should, no doubt, have a higher prominence in the English language. However, your use of that word, in this particular context is, unfortunately, inaccurate.
The suffix ‘ish’ is used when describing a quality or, indeed, a flaw, that approximates to that description but may involve, some redeeming qualities.
The 2 aforementioned are, undoubtedly, cunts of the first order, therefore the ‘ish’ is rendered unnecessary. ;-)

Made me laugh, brilliant summarisation, really enjoyed reading it. Well done.

You know what, I was lay here in the night, aching knee doing my brains in, and as usual on bluemoon to pass the time, and it started me thinking.

Why do so many clubs align themselves with the red cartel? Now, obviously before people jump in with the usual responses, take a minute and think. If you class it as taking our side or theirs, any club who sits on the red side is effectively accepting mediocrity for ever. Just be an also ran, be happy to stay in the Prem, no aspiration whatsoever that at some point there may be that crack in the door, an investor who wants to pump some money in and take the club to greater heights etc. What a fucking weird mentality. Surely these clubs top brass can see the wood from the trees, that the red cartel don’t give a fuck about any of them, they just want them to know their place, do your best and be a feeder club for us when we want to plunder your best talents.

Why not align with us? I’ve enjoyed the last 15 or so years so much, been a blue for 53 years, seen everything you could ever wish to see, I’d have no problem whatsoever to see another club rise like a phoenix and have their time in the sun.

Anyway, that’s my musings on this Saturday morning, I’ll get back to feeling sorry for myself and wanting to saw my leg off, lol.

I think this is one of the main differences in fanbase which is only enhanced when you consider the relevant ownerships.

In the main, we don't begrudge another clubs challenging / being successful.

The relatively recent emerges of Newcastle & Villa have been good to watch.

Pains me to say it, how good were Villa when they took us to pieces at Villa Park last season - they were excellent?

They have a fantastic manager, the structure that they have implemented will be aligned with how he sees the world and as a result have invested very well.

Barring the name of the club, what's not to like?

Bring them on............
 
Maybe it’s just me but were pl and masters trying to cover up while the case was on going?
 
We stand with the clubs opposing the corrupt PL and FA, the people running those organisations are clearly taking bribes as FIFA and Eufa were at one stage obviously we don’t know if that’s still going on at FIFA or Eufa, even our newly elected prime minister is trying to defend himself, there s very fine line between a gift and a bribe. But as far as the PL is concerned there’s definitely something amiss, where there’s smoke there’s fire. I stand with Chelsea, City, Forest, Everton, and all other clubs that are not part of the red cartel that’s influencing the PL in particular but not only them other institutions as well like the men in black for one and the FA too. You obviously not going to win against all those corrupt powerhouses but at the very least they need to be exposed.

Just on this point, I’m not sure that’s right is it? The advice for the 2021 rules was that it stood at least a good chance of resisting a sustained legal challenge. As much as that is hardly a ringing endorsement, that’s not advice that it was probably unlawful.

I don’t agree.

Liverpool have a good chance of winning the league,but they probably won’t.

If the opinion was that on balance the rules were probably lawful it would have said so. It wasn’t a foregone conclusion but that opinion is an absolute giveaway that the rules were considered to be more likely unlawful than not.

To put the same point another way The PL took a punt on the rules being lawful.

What the Glazers have done at the scum is pure economic genius - at least in the short and medium term - and the long term really doesn't matter when you're taking money out of the club hand-over-fist for nearly 20 years.

They deserve it, it would of only been wasted on stadium infrastructure & roofing.
