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

'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.

It’s up.

Premier League sponsorship rules 'void' says tribunal

The Premier League's rules governing sponsorship deals from the period between between 2021 and 2024 are "void and unenforceable", a tribunal rules.

But not open for comments, will have to look elsewhere for the tsunami of tears and boiling piss.

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

They can’t spin this one. It’s impossible to do that.

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 :-)

He’s (Martin) always took a step back and looked at the bigger picture.
He doesn’t follow the crowd or use clickbait headlines.
His pieces are always well thought out and well written.
Look at all these clowns finally now saying FFP/PSR is all about protecting clubs at the top.
He (and us) was saying it from day one.

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.

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

What are the actual ramifications of this?

Do any of the free shareholder loans get retrospectively acted on with the likes of dippers and arseshit?

Have the rags been found to have actually failed PSR and will their Covid and share dealing exemptions be declared illegal?

Do we just get to say I told you so or do we get significant financial compensation?

think your getting confused with the 115 case mate ,we are still on a wing and a prayer with the big one

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Given that

* City took up the cudgels on behalf of all the non-'Red Cartel' clubs against what are now proven to be illegal APT regulations ushered in by the Premier League after the Saudi takeover of Newcastle United, and

* Tomorrow's visitors to our gaff are the very same Newcastle United that had been targeted along with us

would it be in order for the Newcastle squad to form a guard of honour to applaud our lads onto the pitch, as a symbol of their and other clubs' grateful thanks for City having the cojones to stand up to and face down said 'Red Cartel'..? Just a thought..!

Their fans are more likely to sing about empty seats

Hopefully the end of anyone reposting Magic Top Twat as well, who has been shown to be absolutely clueless.

I think actually for the rags its good news because the very heavy boot on their neck which is causing scruffy jim to sack staff left right and centre is actually very illegal

They’re very close with the PL, share a boardroom and everything.
They won’t want to embarrass their friends.

 

[give it to gordon]

What does this tell you about the clubs who voted for these illegal rules ? How can they be allowed to run and own clubs that are happy to work outside the law of the land ?

That’s what I was thinking. Come on the same day they’ve said they can’t afford fuck all. I want to know what’s in it for us - we’ve gone out on a limb for years, is there any actual payback?
