a rather obvious piss-poor bid to dilute the news... like Charles Hawtrey taking a swing at Mike Tyson - just laugh at the know-nowt

I posted this gif when the news of our litigation first dropped on here.

I knew we’d fucking glass these fucks all over the pub the horrible, cheating cunts.

1 fucking nil.

When we score the 2nd it’s going to be apocalyptic.

Hope our fortunes don't mirror those of Iron Mike ...... he beat the overmatched opponent in the gif but never recaptured his glory years and experienced a steady decline soon thereafter

Richard Masters my name,
And I ran the PL game,
Till loads of barristers came,
And tore up the rules again.

'Twas in the winter of 25,
The cartel was barely alive,
All the clubs were giving me hell,
It’s a time I remember oh so well.

The night they drove the cartel down,
And all the bells were ringing,
The night they drove the cartel down,
And all the people were singing,
They went: Blues going to sue your arse,
Blues going to sue your arse right off,
La,la, la, la, la.

(The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.)

That sound you can hear, Brian, is the collective rolling in their graves of members of The Band (sadly, all gone now following Garth Hudson's death last month)..

You do realise that there has now been released an assassin to track and hunt you down..?!

(Valiant attempt.. and has at least reminded me to listen again to 'The Band' and 'Big Pink'!!)

Let’s just see how things play out here. Stefan has done a great job based on the information he is aware of. Unfortunately, he’s not aware of everything, for obvious reasons.
Whilst it feels more of a win than has previously been reported the caveats add to the confusion.
I’m looking forward to @slbsn going rinsing SJ once he can get a word in edge ways.
We’ve won the battle, but not yet the war.
That will come soon, very soon :-)

Just to be clear, whilst optically the follow on is a good win (and one explained as likely here on 14 October ), I stand by the original assessment of a slight overall win for City.

APT as a concept has not been deemed unlawful - on the contrary the PL succeeded in arguing it was necessary. APT with shareholder loans is lawful. APT as a concept is lawful. So whilst it is embarrassing for Masters, it is not clear what gains City get from being right on shareholder loans. This latest decision is a technical legal question about severance and the blue pencil test (as detailed above in my tweet in October). For the avoidance of doubt, it doesn't mean APT is finished.

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.

If APT v2.0 only needed to change three distinct clauses, with all the other rules remaining untouched, should the new tribunal be much quicker, since the same panel will already have full understanding of the unchanged sections of the rules?

So you still think it's a slight win?
