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

[discopop]

A shot in the foot for those in the media who couldn't wait to jump on a PL win last time.

Foundations of the PL look a lot more fragile with Masters in charge too.

Scudamore was many things but I doubt very much we would have ended up with this farrago of a shitshow

One of few true journalists left.

Just read Martins article. He is the only true football journalist out there.

BTW has anyone heard from that annoying Arsenal mouthpiece Martyn Zeigler yet? Nope. Thought not :-)

Vote of no confidence in masters and PL incoming…….claims for multi millions also incoming….delaying Etihad deal has meant City couldn’t spend in the transfer window and there are financial consequences of that……oooh need to find a decent popcorn gif.

Well well well.
By our standards we're having a poor season,but the seasons just turned around.
Up the fuckin blues.

At least we can have a parade at the end of the season now. Lord Pannick pissed as a fart doing his best impression of Jack on the top deck.

Massive PR win among journalists and owners for City after the PL responded to the initial judgment by briefing everyone that it wasn’t a victory for city at all and then pushed through new amendments that have now been ruled unlawful as well.


You couldn’t really hope an opponent that’s more incompetent than the PL.

Funny that, didn’t the PL claim they won?!

How the fuck do they even begin to untangle this mess now?

 

[Rammy Blue]

BBC and Sky burying their heads in the sand and hoping it will go away

Nope, they are trying to work out best way to spin it as a victory for the Prem & Masters, just wait, it’ll happen soon enough.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Just heard Matt Lowton on talkshite he's suicidal I hope he's got help on hand

Hope he hasn't.

It’s their private members club, they make all the rules, they bully the minority 19 to 1, and they still fuck it up

You can almost sense the disappointment !

A chorus of 'same old Premier League, always cheating' on the cards tomorrow.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Ooooooof!!!!

 

[deano ou812]

Vindication for the club. Fallout will be fascinating.

And more so how will the media spin it to have us at fault for illegal rules ..

'A huge blow to the Premier League'​

This decision is a huge blow to the Premier League and effectively it means their APT rules up to November 2024 were unenforceable.

Any club who had a case heard under their rules is now in a position where they could launch a damages claim.

One source has suggested this could make the Premier League – and effectively therefore its clubs – liable for tens of millions of pounds.

This will also put a focus on chief executive Richard Masters, who confirmed the changes in November despite being cautioned against implementing them by City and Aston Villa amongst others.
