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

[1961_vintage]

The red shirts will choose and it will be a toss up between giving it to Giggsy or that celebrated icon of business management……John Aldridge

To be fair that's one fella that probably could organise a piss-up in a brewery.

Sir Nigel Teare ? You couldn't make it up !

 

[Gundoggin]

Statement just now on SSN MCFC now able to sue PL for blocking deals ie Etihad and another one

 

[jrb]

It’s now on the CAF.

They want Ineos to sponsor United for a billion pounds.

Lol!

 

[Tim of the Oak]

I know who’s not getting a sh@g tonight, Mrs Masters.

Unless Lord Pannick calls round!

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Right so does this mean Arsenal are fucked due to the loan thing?

No.

 

[jrb]

Just been read out on SSN

Thanks.

It will be in the OS in a bit. :-)

 

[stan bowles]

I hope the 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' banner can be rescued from the bin, ironed out and unfurled tomorrow.

Newcastle’s shirt sponsorship was reduced too wasn’t it? Hopefully they’ll sue as well.

Rumours are that we put in a few ‘see where the line is’ deals when we did the Sela deal, which itself is rumoured to end at the end of this season with the possibility of it being extended. Those bigger deals though are said to have stayed in the background for any developments to allow them to waved through.

The fume on the Red top’s faces when we have Aramco or Saudia on our shirts will be hilarious if it happens.

 

[its a Barm]

Sorry for being slow have we got a victory over the cunts is this the end of it

 

[Leyland Blue]

It’s time for this gem again:

 

[Silva&Silva]

We may be shit on the pitch but we're squeaky clean off it ;-)

 

[mac]

A lot of journalists are going to drop dead with high blood pressure piss boiled heart attacks. Fucking great.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Sorry for being slow have we got a victory over the cunts is this the end of it

no, the amended rules from Nov, still being challenged.

 

[wolviedinho]

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.

That’s what happens when you have 20 clubs all out for themselves.

The league will tear itself apart coming after City and the laughter will be heard loud and clear from la Liga and the Bundesliga.

History clubs erm I mean clubs formed in 92 should not control the future landscape of the premier league. Money grabbing wankers.

Illegal, unfair, unfounded greed to stop competition. If the media spin this other than a resounding victory, the self proclaimed bastions of truth should be held to account over their own duplicitous actions against a great club.

I hope the 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' banner can be rescued from the bin, ironed out and unfurled tomorrow.

This is more apt.

 

[Gundoggin]

Thanks.

It’s looking like the news is that bad for the PL most media outlets are trying to hide it . SSN to their credit said it has huge consequences for the PL and its finances

 

[jrb]

I might be single tonight, but I’ve had a great night already. :-)

Off to make chips, scampi, and mushy peas, along with a glass of beer.

But if it's deemed that loans should be subject to fair market value wouldn't they have to back date them and make them fork out?

It doesn’t work like that and nor should, to be fair. Arsenals mitigation would be untouchable in that they were following the rules that were in place at the time.
It’d be like getting done because you smoked in a pub in 1980, or many thousands of elderly people getting done for smacking their kids in the 70’s, before both those things were illegal.
