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

[BigJoe#1]

Vindication for the club. Fallout will be fascinating.

Can't wait.... Breaking News on SSN Liverpool/Everton charged with not controlling players.... not a sniff of this panels findings.

Remember though everyone - the award was a score draw!

Have to get the briefing from their side and ducks in a row sure beforehand. Put the Premier League spin on it. Same for the BBC

 

[richards30]

Epic news! And full vindication for the club pushing on with this point showing the corruption within the premier league! Summer transfer budget going to get a nice boost then ;-)

Go for them City. And make those feckers squirm.

Is it on Sly Sports yet?

I assume this because the Mail saw the email Masters sent to the clubs and Sky et al don't have it yet?

So does this mean there are no financial rules now ?

No,

Not a mention of it

Not surprised

I hear Stefan still thinks it was a draw :)

Just kidding, mate, you're a top poster

 

[spacecadet]

Haven't laughed as much for months. Go for the corrupt cunts big time now.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

So does this mean there are no financial rules now ?

No as I understand the amended APT rules are in force but those are also subject to legal challenge by City, and sponsorship deals we proposed were rejected due to the old rules, so that opens up the avenue for remuneration/suits by City if City chooses.

The implications of this are enormous.

 

[Micky Blue]

I’m so happy the club has been vindicated on this point.

At the same time I’m fucking furious that these cunts have been allowed to get away with such a blatant abuse of power and trying to rig the deck against us.
I’m especially pissed off that the club called out after the first part was released that they should not rush any rule changes and denied our victory.

We need an independent regulator and Masters and the PL board need to crawl back into the sewer they emerged from.

[Bluewonder]

As an accountant I can't say I'm surprised by this news. The APT rules are fundamental to PSR.

 

[give it to gordon]

Does this mean the new Etihad deal is back on ?
