Man City claim legal victory against Premier League over APT financial rules

In a case brought by Man City, an independent panel has determined that Associated Party Transaction rules are void and unenforceable; it is believed this ruling could open the door for legal action; but the Premier League insists that depends on the judgement on the new rules

Wow....City 'claim' a win...when the judgement is that the rules are void and unenforceable.

You can't get a more clear cut win than that, it's like a 6-0 thrashing that could have been ten.

Sky can't bring themselves to simpy say "City have won"
 
Obviously the PL are in a mess here.

I believe their argument is that the APT 1 were only unlawful because of three areas…which made all of APT 1 unlawful.

If they correct those three areas and introduce APT 2 then the whole of APT is lawful.

City must feel that isn’t the case and there is more to it or APT 2 still contains unlawful elements.

City have clearly won APT 1

The new battle is over APT2

If City win APT 2 the PL are in a World of trouble.

Is the above true? I’m unsure myself!

Makes it even more bizarre that the PL and other clubs decided to plough on, rather than wait for the tribunal outcome as we advised. At the very least it was the most sensible thing to do

I am objectively trying to understand their reasoning behind the rush. Surely they could have waited a few more months for the final verdict. Why the rush though...? And what they actually wanted to achieve, knowing full well in advance that they might have egg on the face whenever the tribunal rules in the final verdict...? What was their motive...?

Anyone has a clue? I have absolutely no clue.
 
X full of responses from fans of non cartel fans including Everton and Newcastle, thanking City over the ruling.
Examples:

The “Red Cartel” clubs handpicked Richard Masters to protect their best interests and he’s failed them ❌

Hopefully this breaks the shackles the “Red Cartel” clubs have over the Premier League

It’s also time for Richard Masters to move on from his post

Thank you,



Richard Masters needs to walk for this‼️

Intentionally lied to stop teams that wanted to compete. He is not fit for purpose in his role. Simple.

UNLAWFUL
UNENFORCEABLE
VOID
CORRUPT

#NUFC ⚫️⚪️ #MCFC



PL sponsorship rules Null and Void

APT reg’s unlawful in their entirety

Richard Masters & the PL are the real cheats hiding in plain sight all this time for the benefit of certain clubs

Well done City & their legal team in exposing them


Champagne and Free Bar for Man City and Newcastle fans tomorrow please Richard Masters must resign

I think they thought APT 2 corrected APT 1 errors and so APT 2 would be deemed lawful if challenged. It sounds reasonable on the face of it but City think not and City were correct the first time. Who knows?

So as a fan who doesn’t live in Manchester is it ok for me to say MEN are absolute cunts?

The MUEN is owned by Trinity News.

Trinity News love the 3 Red Shirt Cartel clubs.

City don’t give the MUEN any information, updates, news, nothing, zilch.

So the MUEN/Trinity News print negative stories about City.

That’s their way of getting back at City.
 
Gives me even more confidence with regards the 115.
Our owners are not some naive offshore wannabes hoping to trim wages with redundancies and save a few bob to put in shareholders pockets.
We’re an uber professional company owned by people with the highest standards and integrity.
If you ever doubted them…… apologise now.

As soon as Forest, Newcastle and Villa voted against the PL, the cracks began to appear and maybe we are seeing the whole house of cards collapsing around the red cartel and their bitches, the PL and Spurs ears.

Null, void, unlawful and unenforceable. 4 little words that have started the downfall of those shithouse clubs only interested in self interest, self protectionism and self preservation.

Shitting themselves over the potential sponsorship deals lined up by Us & Newcastle so was desperate to get some new rules through maybe?

Imagine the chaos and sheer meltdown if (a big if) the tribunal declares APT 2 also unlawful.

Yet another "Popcorn time" is coming, hopefully.

1. Presumably this means the Etihad deal goes through in full including the escalator because the rules are now deemed void when submitted and can't be caught in the "new" Nov 24 16-4 APT rules even if the amendments are subsequently accepted when the tribunal rules again?

2. Is Samuel right about Forest and Everton in the aricle? He infers ALL financial rules are void for them because part of the rules (ie APT) are unlawful?

EDIT: Seen your tweet Stefan and Samuel going too far again about Forest and Everton

1. No. The PL position is that the November fixed the unlawfulness and, in effect, should be seen as a total re-write and are therefore in place. APT 2 will have to go ahead if that is their position.
2. No. I don't think he is.
 
Ode to Dick Masters

You stood as tall as a mountain
You never really thought about the drop
You trod over City to get there
Just so You could keep Rags on top
Clumsy and blind You stumbled
As You rewrote APT for our lands
You didn't stop to think about the consequences
As it came to pieces in Your hands
You thought You was a maritime marvel
You believed that You ruled the FA
All You could say is time is motion
And every Red Team You would save
You are a shit stained statue
School children stand in awe
you Truly believed Iyou was a ceiling of sky
Never thought about having flaws
You felt as reverent as Jesus
Your sanctimony stunk
You thought you were admiral of the missing fleet
You couldn't see City had you sunk
You roared Your pride in the darkness
You scratched away at the stars
You thought You was lord of Football
you should have been put behind bars
But now You sit with your head in your hands
And wail to the weeping wall
The avalanche of your emotions
Holds the audience of one enthralled
You are learning the lesson the hard way
Like a fall from command
You thought you was king of the whole wide world
But it just came to pieces in your hand


A tiny bit of rewriting of a classic for Mr Masters
