It seems to me rather unlikely that a super injunction would be granted in such a matter but I wonder whether government influence is at work. It might be yet another wild theory which our near total ignorance of proceedings gives rise to, but if City have won, and won clearly, the whole structure and personnel of the PL are very much on borrowed time. And all this at a time when City's questioning of the PL's APT rules has consigned whole areas of the PL's financial regulations to the bin and raised serious problems for regulation in the future. I think the whole area the conformity of FFP and PSR to competition law is massively problematic: can a limit on owner investment really be a valid sporting exception while no measures are taken to control debt? And there are others. And all this at a time when the final steps to introduce a football regulator have been taken. At the very least, those involved in regulating the PL will need to have drawn up plans which regulate a football landscape affected massively by the outcome of the PL's dealings with our club. The government/regulators may want some preparation time before the outcome of the case(s) burst on the football world.
Is it possible the PL have given certain clubs advance notice that the City case has gone to shit and they are free to spend as the rules are in the bin. Meanwhile the likes of Newcastle and Villa are in the dark and still hamstrung by the rules?

Top fuckin ladMy take on the 115 was my son last night at the darts....IN THE BIN.
Hope you all saw it during the walk ons.View attachment 164067
They are spending within the current rules, that were drawn up by them, Arsenal, The Rags and authorised by a man they vetted and interviewed for the job.The single fact that the scousers are spending money like no tomorrow is a huge indication for me that the rules are in the bin.
Liverpool have gone from being skint to winning the lottery.
Something very odd.
While you were waiting the tables turned and it is the PL that is in the dock. Stop squirming and look how the land lies.Another fucking week has come and gone then.
What a fucking joke.
How does it lie?While you were waiting the tables turned and it is the PL that is in the dock. Stop squirming and look how the land lies.
Enjoy mate.Correct Wembley tonight for me
Rags don’tThe clubs that are spending big have a LOT more money than Newcastle and Villa.

Yes City went to the Commercial Court to challenge the PL rights to ask for what they deemed to be commercially sensitive documents and lost they requested the verdict should not be published supported by the PL the judge decided otherwise, they appealed and lostWasnt there a case in court as part of this process where both City and the PL tried to keep the case private and out of the redtops, but they lost. So, in which case, a super injunction is impossible to see.
thats quite sad given how much they have fallen on the pitch. in the past under vnn Gaal, Mourinho, Ole at the wheel, they were more in CL still than out of it, but recently they are out of it more than in it, yet still their revenues are sick high even with being out of top6 now 2x consecutive seasons.Man United are had more than double Newcastle's revenue in their last accounts. That's around £350m MORE to spend than Newcastle in a single year. Their wage bill absolutely dwarfs Newcastle's.
They were still the richest club in the world as recently as the season when Pep joined City, and while they're dropped off, they've never been out of the top five richest clubs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deloitte_Football_Money_League

I can see the logic in that but, and it is a bit, if we've played ball to save the whole organisation then the outcome assuming we are clear should be announced and backed up by the Regulater just how clear we are and how unjust and bent the whole case was.It seems to me rather unlikely that a super injunction would be granted in such a matter but I wonder whether government influence is at work. It might be yet another wild theory which our near total ignorance of proceedings gives rise to, but if City have won, and won clearly, the whole structure and personnel of the PL are very much on borrowed time. And all this at a time when City's questioning of the PL's APT rules has consigned whole areas of the PL's financial regulations to the bin and raised serious problems for regulation in the future. I think the whole area the conformity of FFP and PSR to competition law is massively problematic: can a limit on owner investment really be a valid sporting exception while no measures are taken to control debt? And there are others. And all this at a time when the final steps to introduce a football regulator have been taken. At the very least, those involved in regulating the PL will need to have drawn up plans which regulate a football landscape affected massively by the outcome of the PL's dealings with our club.
