Really ! Was there a need to put it as City's really expensively assembled group of lawyers convinced the panel, no mention that the premier leagues expensively assembled group of lawyers failing to convince them of anything.

This is the narrative they put out. City, who have infinite financial resources, are prepared to spend whatever it takes on legal manoeuvres in order to kill any restrictions on spending.

Liverpool have set up a £60 million shirt deal with Adidas yet the premier league knocked us back on the Etihad deal which covers so much more. Surely this is more ammunition for the club.

Did the Trafford team get a much larger deal off their shirt sponsors? Surely a midtable team should not be getting more than the Dips ?

"with the meeting necessary after City's lawyers convinced a panel that aspects of the regulations were in breach of competition law"

Makes it sound like a bunch of blaggers!

Sorry, misunderstood your post. There are several fundamental issues with this article already highlighted by various posters which you could maybe scroll back to read.

I complained about his use of the phrase "Abu Dhabi-funded Man City" singling us out from all the other PL clubs - with the various different countries funding them (as listed). The Equality Act (2010) defines ethnic discrimination as treating a group or a member of that group unfavourably because of national origin so it's blatantly racist and illegal.

Harris is a disgusting and stupid City hating cartel shill, regularly used to pump their 'dirty cheating arab oil club' narrative through client media such as Sky.

It seems that its constant repetition has sadly led even longstanding posters like yourself not to recognise the lies and slurs central to a decade long US redshirt propaganda campaign designed to destroy our club.

Here is an exercise for Bluemoon fact checkers. This is, I believe, the media's view of the recent "spat" between the PL and one of its more successful clubs. How many, if any, deliberate mistakes can you spot?

When the PL was formed the clubs agreed very sensible rules to protect clubs from reckless spending and owners. All clubs agreed to these rules and they contributed immensely to the incredible success of the PL. Unfortunately that success attracted a type of owner, overwhelmingly from the Gulf, who was so fabulously wealthy that he could simply plough in billions to his club and make things so totally uncompetitive that his club could win everything, leaving clubs with much richer histories and traditions empty handed. State owned and financed Gulf owners and clubs have ruined football. One such club, Manchester City, has taken the process a step further and taken the PL to court in an attempt to overthrow the very sensible rules put in place to try and stop them simply buying trophies by spending fantastic sums of money beyond what the other clubs can envisage. Manchester City want an end to all restrictions on spending: the other clubs want financial fair play.

How Man City's fight to fend off spending restrictions is ripping the Premier League apart

Premier League clubs have held talks to reconfigure rules related to losses and income - with the meeting necessary after City's lawyers convinced a panel that aspects of the regulations were in breach of competition law.

And here is something completely different....

We're indirectly responsible for ripping the Premier League apart?

I am absolutely lost for words. The shite way we've been treated by the Premier League? Yeah ok then.

Didn't seem to ripping the PL apart when the rags were winning title after title with unrestricted spending.

Funny that.
