PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

What do people think of this paragraph from the APT tribunal award?

It's clearly talking about the 115 case and it's relevance to the introduction of the APT rules. Whatever Herbert said convinced the arbitrators that a move from ex-post to ex-ante was justified so it couldn't have been the funding aspects of the sponsorships, because that wouldn't have been picked up by any review of fmv, whenever it was carried out.

Which leads me to think that the PL has re-opened the questions of the fmv of the AD sponsorships and the related party nature of the sponsors going back to 2009/10. They may well be re-litigating the funding issues dismissed at CAS and may even have extended their time frame if they have additional evidence. But it seems to me now that they are also pressing on the related party nature of the sponsors, the fact that they weren't disclosed as such in the accounts and the fact that required details of the RPTs were not provided and on the fmv of the transactions.

This would explain the reference to related parties in the list of allegations referred to the disciplinary procedure in 2023 and their inclusion in the APT jusgment as a relevant factor.

I thought that was unlikely previously (especially as UEFA has never formally alleged that the AD sponsors were related parties or were anything other than fmv) but it seems almost certain to me that the PL has opened those issues up again.

It sounds like they are litigating until they get the result they want….. Wallace article incoming.
 
I noticed that a rival tweet claimed we were persistently requesting new rules be considered in our 115 case which are all being knocked back.
Is this the normal procedure to ensure "pegs are in the ground" for further legal action on all the individual charges.

I leave both legal and accountancy to professionals but when I was involved in large ongoing contracts eg London Underground extensions original contracts caused strange things to have to be done.
Design and installation was constantly changing so some of our actual contracts required us to do certain things on certain days that had not even been fully designed never mind ready for our input but we always turned up with say 5 or 10 men to allow the Main Contractor to sign our work sheet then allocate a seperate area to work. This happened every day. If we didn't and just accepted alternative work it was not to contract which their QS would highlight and refuse payment because of potential problems at legal stage regarding proof of such a problem.

I wonder if our legal team are simply bringing up this point on every stage applicable for every charge against us.

Throw as much shit as possible and hope that some sticks is my take.

Regarding related parties, I’d argue that City aren’t daft and we know exactly what does and what doesn’t constitute a related party. To that end, I’d imagine we’re on pretty solid ground, whereas the PL seems to want to make it up as they go along at times. On a related (pardon the pun!) note, I’ve said it many times before but if Etihad were actually a related party then ironically there would’ve been nothing wrong if Mansour had funded part of that deal!

Why is that utter canute giving evidence about anything? He's not an expert witness in any capacity, surely?

And surely such a move won't have blindsided us? I would expect our legal team to have prepared itself for every snide trick imaginable.....

I'm confused. I thought we all knew what the alleged breaches were, are you suggesting they include actually something different entirely?

If that's the case, what does this mean for us?

I think it would be a huge stretch for the pl to try and relitigate something that has been dismissed but what is universally recognised as the highest court for sports arbitration in the world.
