Completely agree on the NFL not being relevant. But isn't the perspective on most leagues in Europe being 'farmers leagues'? Psg Madrid Bayern celtic etc. it's almost like this is a wider problem than just the pl.

As I understand:Is it new judges? I thought it was the original judges but if it’s new I’m asking why did it get to this.
City take PL to court over APT rules.
Case won.
PL produce new rules voted in favour by 16 clubs.
City declare that the whole rulebook since 2021 is null and void.
PL agree that only a tribunal can decide who is now correct.
Tribunal appointed. Case completed in December. Decision expected Feb.

Appreciated, I just felt the first step wasn’t clear when they both claimed victory.
Yes. This is the reason for the tribunal. City believe the whole rulebook is null and void. The PL believe they can rewrite only the disputed 'sections'.Appreciated, I just felt the first step wasn’t clear when they both claimed victory.

I didn't see compensation mentioned in the article. I'd like to think we are due a little boost to the transfer kitty for any disallowed sponsorship(s) and all the inconvenience caused.

According to that Times article it's the same panel holding a two-day hearing next week and issuing their judgment in February.Is it new judges? I thought it was the original judges but if it’s new I’m asking why did it get to this.

That’s what I thought & i was asking if the original judges saw how the premier league had acted it should ruled on this.
That's true, but I don't think they are the same judges who originally heard the APT case.According to that Times article it's the same panel holding a two-day hearing next week and issuing their judgment in February.

Well they are the same three who issued the previous judgment in October.That's true, but I don't think they are the same judges who originally heard the APT case.

Fair enough, even though I find that rather bizarre, like an employment tribunal being headed by the person who dismissed you, I imagine that it will work in our favour - they have already deemed the APT rules unlawful. It should also 'speed' the process.Well they are the same three who issued the previous judgment in October.

That’s why I was saying it could & should have been resolved earlier but you guided me on process. I felt the original judges gave too much credit to the premier league for e.g. May Fyfield & the deliberate treatment & targeting of the premier league. I’m hoping they’ll be pissed off with Premier leagues actions since.
You're right. The process is as I said. The judges, as you did!That’s why I was saying it could & should have been resolved earlier but you guided me on process.

Presumuably the previous rules were also passed by a majority vote but that didn't make them legal, so why does the fact that the new one's were voted through give them any more legitimacy than the last one's? Question isn't aimed at you btw

I wonder if the modified rule change by PL can be an example of their wish to target just City?It was getting time to settle this. Judgment published in a month for a two-day hearing is about right, I suppose.
Still think there maybe a few nasty surprises for the PL out of this. Fingers crossed :)

We await the result of legality or not but at least now the PL must obey their own rules which no doubt have a history of biased process over the years. Plenty for further action in the past if they don't continue legally in the future

They're being asked to clarify some pretty major points, surely it could only be the original judges, otherwise we'd be sitting here until kingdom come.Fair enough, even though I find that rather bizarre, like an employment tribunal being headed by the person who dismissed you, I imagine that it will work in our favour - they have already deemed the APT rules unlawful.

I see the Times has twisted the narrative away from “clubs fear the impact of state-owned clubs to” to “the impact of state-connected or those with multi-club ownerships.” In other words they fear fair legal competition.It was getting time to settle this. Judgment published in a month for a two-day hearing is about right, I suppose.

Do you think they left certain points vague deliberately to perhaps let the dust settle?That's fair.
Little by little they are forcing legality on PL thereby getting the PL influence on the media to accept a lower than a "hanged, drawn and quartered" verdict on City.
