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

[mcfcphil]

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters made clubs aware of the situation in an email this afternoon.

In it, he acknowledged that the ‘previous rules as a whole are void and unenforceable’ but attempted to play down the development.

‘The previous APT rules are no longer in place,’ he said, ‘and new rules were voted into force’.

‘The league has previously told clubs that this decision was about the legal status of previous APT rules and would not impact the operation of new rules.’

Masters added that the new rules remain in force and that clubs remain required to comply with them.

But are the new rules legal Richard?

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Nah it’ll motivate Alexander Isak to score tomorrow (if you listen to some of the crackpots on here)

Yes I found all that angst about the Rodri flag a bit disappointing. Rodders loved his flag.

The bigger cases, 115/130, will have been decided by now and the panel will be writing up their judgment. Fingers crossed we will be cleared again.

I am bit a bit of an optimist and my main worry is that the Prem will go bust before they can compensate us.

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

Do you have any links for that interview?

I am curious to hear it now.

1:50:40 onwards. Pretty damning I thought.

 

[Pablo ZZZ Peroni]

Like him or loathe him, but I suspect this wouldn’t have happened under Scudamore’s watch.

Not a fucking chance under Scudamore.

Extract from Samuel in his article having seen the report:

The most damning statement in this latest ruling is that the Premier League employed “sleight of hand” in its presentation of the rules after the initial judgment. There should be considerable disquiet among stakeholders about that, considerable disquiet about the tenure of the Premier League’s chief executive, Richard Masters, and its chairwoman, Alison Brittain. Are their positions even tenable now?

The **** has deliberately misled everyone. Total ****.

When both sides claimed victory after the initial ruling, legal experts advised to wait for the award of costs. With this clarification, it is plain that bill is likely to be handed largely to the Premier League, believed to total in excess of £20million. It is not passed directly to clubs as a £1million invoice but taken off revenue distribution figures. As these also go towards Profitability and Sustainability calculations, this is rather an unfortunate position. A governing body that scrutinises balance sheets and hands down punishments if the sums do not add up is actively costing clubs money. Masters must hope he has credit in the bank; although given his recent track record on litigation and shareholder clubs, how could he?

So they made amendments to illegal rules?

Sounds legit

Hopefully

And the Havertz/ striker replacement in the summer seriously fucked too !

Fingers crossed we will be cleared again.

With how good this "small" win feels, if we get a win next month I might need a week off work.
