PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

It’s almost like we know the result…

This is a huge hard signal imo. You don’t start taking the league and other clubs on from a position of weakness.

I can’t see a negative. City have gotten the league by the balls. The real financial cheats is the very same club that termed the phrase “financial doping” and wrote it on a letter.

Now we are getting somewhere. No wonder that **** bloom won’t sell to us.
One of my favourite posters you mate. You’re wildly underrated on here.
 
I suppose we could ask if APT2 is starting because the 115 is finished?
Completely different panel. One is a disciplinary panel, the other is the tribunal for a rule X arbitration. So the APT panel is one where we chose one arbitrator, the PL chose the second and the third was agreed between the two chosen arbitrators. The 115 panel was chosen by the PL.

So there's no overlap between the panels, and any overlap between the lawyers is a non-point because we know the 115 hearing concluded last year. And we know from the APT 2 decision that City had already launched the APT 3 arbitration by the end of January: para 69 of APT 2 says
"However, there remains for decision (in the fresh arbitration commenced on 20 January 2025) whether the November 2024 Amended APT Rules are valid and effective."

All that's happened is that the statement of case we provided in January has now been passed to the other clubs, and - quelle surprise - it ended up being leaked.

No shouting, no crying, just quietly going about our business & boom!

Are we up to APT3 already? I have lost count :)

I was meaning more from the lawyers side, but yes I suppose the workload on the 115 at this stage will be pretty light: checking the draft award and deciding what to do next ....

I don't think anything you or I post on this forum will have any effect on the team.

We are here just expressing our opinions,thoughts, fears & wishes.

Sorry mate, this was a reference to a thread that I made after Tevez signed and played for us against Palace and I said that maybe he'd not really gelled yet and got 70 pages of absolute abuse. Just a joke mate.
