Not had a good tribunal case in ages.

win this one and are we on for the quadruple?

 

[oakiecokie]

City warned them. They didn't listen so we are just doing what anyone else would do. Taking legal action. Personally I love it.
Keep the teeth gnashing of all and Sundry at the forefront of the news but keep making the premier leagues coffers lighter and lighter.
Fuck me I love my club.

With you all the way SHB and my sentiments to.

Suspect this is purely because the follow on arbitration panel from the first APT case indicated it did not have jurisdiction to consider the question of whether the November amendments were lawful ie that it needed a fresh case. Also suspect, this second APT case would be abandoned if the follow on determination from the first case is that all the rules are unlawful (although I think this is unlikely). Not simple.

What's your feeling on the club's strategy behind this?

Probably we will know in the next month or so what the outcome of the second hearing at the original APT tribunal is. The club could have waited for that? Or was there a benefit in requesting a second tribunal on the newly amended rules last month already?

Also The Lawyer says there have been no new developments on the two sponsorships set aside by the tribunal. Does that mean they are now "approved" or are the PL just waiting to re-assess them again? Surely, they can't wait too long can they?

Confused as always :)

Pannick’s bank balance must be getting a proper boost from our coffers, love it.

The club must be satisfied with his previous work to employee him again

Sorry just noticed and your second with a lower case f

Since we are on page 1919, shouldn't the war be over?

 

[deano ou812]

Presumably this backs up City’s position prior to the November vote that the sensible option would have been to wait for full determination on the first APT?

By having the second vote they have taken it beyond the jurisdiction of the first tribunal meaning they need two separate proceedings - whereas if they hadn’t had the vote they could have just amended the rules in line with the determination of the first panel?

It all seems like a colossal waste of time and money.

And why could clubs not see what was going on here,instead of jumping in with both feet with certain clubs to vote in favour,it’s just staggering why can’t they see what’s going on ..

 

[chesterbells]

Here we go again.
Never ending this

I am correct in saying if retrospective FMV was applied Arsenal would be crushed by that decision. As they wrote that infamous FFP later on behalf of the cartel I say let's do it

This, this and this again.

 

[Keeper!]

How do you work that out? You can’t dispute major legal matters with no fucker knowing

The PL will be paying for our rebuild, stupid fuckers.

 

[KS55]

Our policy is quite clear. Masters has caused us loads of angst, so here’s right back at ya, you dolt. And don’t go thinking this is the last one, we can keep this up till you drop.

 

[Nightmare Walking]

Has Stefan booked a holiday to the Maldives on the back of this announcement?

 

[calumdown]

Sorry just noticed and your second with a lower case f

it's taken you 16yrs to notice i don't use capital letters?

 

[Bodicoteblue]

Will this hasten the establishment of the independent body to run the PL?
Not a great fan of government involvement but someone has to stop this charade of a ruling body before it collapses on itself.
