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

I agree :)

The one email referred to in the APT case caused a stink by pretty carelessly and unneccessarily referring to "Gulf states" and I can only imagine how much more careless and unnecessary correspondence has been flying around between the PL and certain clubs in respect of City in the past fifteen years.

Maybe the club got hold of one and that was an "in" to getting disclosure of everything. It was always said the club had a "file". Who knows? Maybe that was true.

Anyway, as @petrusha said (much) earlier in the thread it won't help much with the core issues of the case, but anything that casts doubt on the intentions of the PL or its good faith will chip away at their credibility when it comes to evidence and counter evidence.

As you say though, interesting.
Indeed, chip away at the Premier League's credibility and just as importantly start shifting the narrative about who the bad guys are in all of this. It will start as a drip but could quickly turn into a torrent. It's already begun (courtesy of the Times and Daily Mail...)
 
Good, then they all have to stay and help us beat Curzon Ashton. That's a relief :)

Make sure they all stay long enough for us to get the rags in the cup and inflict a historic record defeat on a top flight team by a non league team that will sit in the record books forever. Then they can move on, their work done.

Actually for that to work out the rags have to avoid getting relegated to the championship in the interim, so not sure how realistic it is after all.

Yes, and if we were non league it would greatly improve our chances of "drawing" them in the cups.......away of course.

Oh, and the tv money might come in useful.

I used to work with a Curzon Ashton fan. I asked him if he knew what the word Curzon meant and he hadn't got a clue. I Googled the word and found that it hasn't really got a meaning. There is a dead aristocrat who had the surname Curzon and of course there were Curzon Cinemas, but it's a strange word to use as a prefix for a football club. Fuck me, I'm bored today.

We all are now.

Apparently:

Curzon Ashton was formed in 1963 after the merger of two clubs, Curzon Road Methodists F.C. - with the street in question taking its designation from the First Viscount Curzon (1730-1820), whose first name, rather spookily, was Assheton! - and Ashton Amateurs F.C., who played in the Manchester Amateur Football League. The amalgamated club's name was originally Curzon Amateurs before being changed to the current name.

Now that’s how to google…

Must be where Assheton Ave in Droylsden got its name from as well
 
And therein lies the problem of the PL dictating to clubs, and shareholders and partners of clubs, what transactions they should be recording. I still don't see how that can be legal.

By all means adjust the results to fmv if you don't agree, but to force amendments to valid contracts which both parties were happy with. I still don't get it.
Because City are a more attractive proposition than the rags and can thus attract more and better paying sponsors they must be stopped from doing so, by any means, (legal or not).
Can't have little City hoovering up the best players now can we.....?

Scum.
