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

[salfordbluetrue]

If they were to find us guilty on any of the important charges, then a substantial points deduction is virtually inevitable.

Possibly, but what happens if it was 1 serious charge from 2013, which year would the points deduction happen, 2013, this year, last year, next year or the year the cartel wants. Plus the PL panel can find us guilty, we would appeal so no punishment can be applied until all avenues are exhausted.

 

[salfordbluetrue]

Not sure I’ve ever seen anyone miss the point so spectacularly.

What did you make of " the tyranny of the majority"? or City going after interest free loans, who had the biggest interest free loan, how much was it, for how long, where is it now, and who at the PL excepted an owner giving a gift far larger than the amount allowed under the rules.

 

[Chappie]

Your sueing again though. What does that say about the first lawsuit if you're going again? Why will this time be different. Why do you need to due again on the same event?

You clearly don't understand this atall.
We won the main points in the first tribunal but as instructed by the judge's on the tribunal panel,we were supposed to have a meeting with the Premier League board and seek a amicable solution.
The Premier league in their wisdom, chose not to do this and brought another set of rules in without resolving the original dispute.
City told them at the time,that this was unlawful and they should wait for the final report from the tribunal panel.
The Premier league chose to ignore this advice hence we are back to the tribunal.
What do you find so hard to understand.
If the first draft is unlawful, it stands to reason the 2nd set is also unlawful ,until all parties, resolve the issues from draft 1
Capishe now !!@

Pep Guardiola has promised to open up on Manchester City’s historic hearing with the Premier League once a verdict is announced in the coming weeks.

Guardiola revealed on Friday he is expecting a resolution within a month after defending City’s £175million January spend on four new signings

In one month I think there will be a verdict and a sentence and after we will see my opinion of what’s happened so far,’ said Guardiola.

Guardiola verdict: I shall move Masters to left back.
Er…thanks Pep.

I can’t help but think the arbitration panel have overseen a shitshow….

First after listening to evidence of animosity between City & the premier league they give a view but rather provide a legally binding decision they say “sort it out together.” Then when only a fool thought that would happen, they say they’ll need to start again……

Worlds gone mad

What gets me is the majority of premier clubs decided to amend the rules BEFORE the results from the apt have come out! Tells you everything about these club owners

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

I must say I am struggling with this narrative that the club are involved in some top level Berting with the PL over this new action. Maybe I am being naive and the club has finally snapped, but, personally, I think this has to be part of a bigger strategy that we just aren't able to determine from out here.

Otherwise, it seems to me we asked the greatest legal mind in English legal history for advice and got a sponge bag in response. Struggling with that, tbh.

Maybe, but the noises coming out of City are positive, bullish and we’re no longer on the back foot, the PL know going after our reputation is the only angle they’ve got, the rushed rewritten rules and vote allowed them a fall back position of ‘look everyone big bad City are litigating again & using their never ending wealth to write rules for themselves’ they’ve basically said you can either fall in line or back to court we go, those are the actions of an organisation looking completely desperate, I’ve never been as confident we will prevail

How's the interest free owner loans going Tarquin?
Stick you talking about something you know something about you entitled trophy dodging clown.

There are no important charges. It's all theatrical posturing, fluff, mountains out of molehills.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Personally, i think City are trying to make a few points here.

1) The rules were deemed illegal and they wanted them thrown out. The PL said they weren’t and have moved to change some aspects of them to mollify the Panel while not endangering their relationships with those clubs running the cartel.

2) City were checked for some commercial deals deemed too lucrative. They don’t believe they were and don’t believe they should have to prove they’re legal, but rather someone else should have to prove they’re ILlegal. That puts the boot on the other foot and means the League is on the back foot, not City, and that City don’t have to prove every penny to every club every season.

3) City feel their historic run should warrant historic deals, yet everyone seems to believe that because City are not Liverpool, United or Arsenal that they couldn’t possibly deserve such large deals, even though they have not only been the best team in the League by a country mile for years, but are the halo club of a global football group…and the ONLY club with a serious global football group, so far.

4) If City don’t strike their deals while sitting at the apex of world football, they miss the opportunity to leverage the success to the hilt, and any charges against them that do stick might reduce or negate their ability to do so. This means current (or recent) commercial deals need to be of sufficient magnitude to weather any such storm.

5) The PL and the Red Cartel are trying whatever they can to blunt that practice.

6) The Ownership Loans have not been dealt with AT ALL, because the 14 club majority are involved up to their necks and don’t have the money, or PSR headroom, to pay the interest or pay back the loans, to level the financial playing field. It is hilarious and not a little ironic that punters at other clubs and the lazy journalists all like to tout Mansour and his oil money, yet CITY are one of the very few who have NOT had their hands in the owners pockets…and we have the proof!



City want rules that are fair and do not require them to prove every penny every time, but rather have someone else prove they’re not legal. That would be an ongoing cost to City and bringing their beggar bowl to the PL every year, as opposed to the PL having to bring their legal team to City to not only say, but prove, they’re running an illegal operation!

 

[nmc]

If a majority voted to fuck Arsenal out of the league for being time wasting, small time, bottling cunts would that be fair?

Majority rule and all that

Certainly worthy of consideration

 

[Keeper!]

Just because we can, back to the library you cant

Pep appears to be very bullish about this.

 

[Bantamgaz]

I aint no expert on this and a few put me right but a club that goes on an £180 million pound spending spree must be confident of not being found guilty.

That's how I see it, with Viana at the helm now he's started the overhaul. But the cartel supporters say no no, it's because we're getting a transfer ban when we're found guilty so we are spending now. They know everything about this 115 bs, the red cartel

To me it looks like someone has given City the nod to go spending ...............i mean do clubs that are about to face relegation tend to build a new stand,spend £180 million and give there main striker a long term contract ?????

Yeah, big statements from City giving a big hint at a positive outcome?

Or City know that they are innocent and can prove it.

And so are going about their business as usual.

 

[Coatigan]

Listen to this bullshit from Sly Sports News.

City got defeated by the PL.

Their spin on it is comical.

These rules, designed to prevent the richest clubs from inflating the income, cure cancer, end all current wars, revert the energy crisis, bring about world peace and end hunger, are being challenged by Manchester City. Aye fuck off.

 

[eastmanc]

When the laws which they vote on are lawful.

Quite easy to understand really.
