Just sounds like we have agreed we won’t challenge them anymore going forward.

I suppose people will say why? and think 115…but it is probably that we just think the current version is ok or are admitting that we can’t prove it’s unlawful.

Edit: After reading the article looks more like a win for City (again)

Man City WIN war with Premier League over big-money sponsorship deals

MIKE KEEGAN: The Premier League has reached a settlement with Manchester City over its challenge to sponsorship rules.

Mike Keegan gets the scoop again.

He’ll get 115 first too.

It is also understood that barriers to the Etihad deal have now been removed and that City are confident that they will not be treated differently to any other top-flight club going forward.
I take it weve been compensated for potential loss of earnings ?

 

[manimanc]

We have agreed that the current APT rules are valid and binding?

Have a missed something? I thought we was challenging them for being invalid?

Or did they get changed and the new rules are valid?

So much confusion in my brain.

Anyone explain it for me?

 

[mattcity5]

Monetary compensation plus approval of those sponsorships that were barred previously.
This is just my guess.

I would definitely hope the second point, the first would be a bonus really.

So.... If there's going to be no further statement, how will we work out what the outcome was? Compensation may be tricky to find in future accounts unless clearly noted, but we should be able to spot changes in sponsorship deals somewhere?

I wonder if this clears the decks for an imminent announcement on the charges

 

[mike1923]

Hmm, so weve accepted the rules are valid and binding?

Ostensibly this is completely separate from the 115 case, but I can't imagine we'd have agreed to drop it if we felt we were about to get fucked over on the 115.

Etihad sponsor want be assessed now I presume

 

[Blueknows]

Now we just need to hear that Etihad have agreed a record breaking 1BN 10 year sponsorship deal

 

[mrtwiceaseason]

So have arsenal got off with their loans at mates rates then ?

Now we just need to hear that Etihad have agreed a record breaking 1BN 10 year sponsorship deal

Puma already beat them to that.

As in we'd have continued this just to piss off the PL and some other clubs, with little else to benefit us?

Sounds like the original Etihad deal now goes through and we have more money or the PL will pay the difference in return for us dropping the charges.

 

[roy.or.r]

Everything is so corrupt. I am glad there are people like me with morals.

 

[jamielowndes]

I know it's separate to the 115 but you have to feel confident now for whenever the verdict comes.

 

[hertsblue]

Disappointed the club agreed not to maje any further comment on this. The PL have dragged our name through mud and now it seems we have won this case v them, we should be calling out their illegal rules

 

[Newmoston1212]

Guessing the Eithad deal now being fully recognised as “valid & binding” gives us more on a foot hold with this 115 shite

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

The APT rules were clearly brought in as the cartel couldn't get anywhere with Related Party Rules. So it's disappointing we accepted them and they'll remain in place but if we've got a big financial gawin out of it then I assume we"ll live with that.
