City launch legal action against the Premier League | Club & PL reach settlement | Proceedings dropped (p1147)

[Keith Moon]

You'd be wrong

Maybe, but which barriers that blocked the Etihad deal have now been removed, and how can we be confident that we will not be treated differently from any other top-flight club going forward?

 

[waspish]

We won’t know if this is a ‘win’ for us - or the extent to which we’ve won - until the outcome of the 115 is known.

Did we have to give ground on one matter (i.e. the legality of the APT framework) in order to secure better terms on the outcome of the other? Have we got everything we want on the 115, and therefore need to reset our relations with the Premier League? Or did we agree to a deal on APT in order to hasten the resolution of the other charges?

We won’t know until it’s all out in the open.

If you read the daily mail you wouldn’t of wrote that so forgive you for this nonsense

 

[urban genie]

Just settling all matters before they sell us and buy spurs ;-)

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Well back in from an afternoon out and I'm happy.

I also expect the 115 stuff to drop now pretty quickly and be a bit fluffy to save PL's face but, with no damage points/fine to us (maybe some non-coop shite?).

 

[TonyBookEnd]

Was already doing TS tomorrow to go through a few things but suspect mostly on this now

You must have your own parking space by now?

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

See neither the BBC or Sky can bring themselves to even put forward the slightest suggestion that this is a positive outcome for City

Which shows how much they are really hurting.

Fucking brilliant !

 

[Brewster's millions]

‘Wouldn’t of’?

The idea that we’ve agreed to settle with the PL on the APT issue without any consideration of our broader relationship with the PL and the 115 charges is a bit far fetched.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

If we thought we could overturn the APT rules we lost that on APT1. Personally never thought we intended to as it wouldn’t help us long term. Feels like it was more about unsticking the big deal. Which it has done, seemingly at the cost of leaving retrospective loans alone (although we also get the win going forward on that). Decent result overall

 

[lefty goldblatt]

Talk Shite tomorrow morning to listen to Stefan getting talked over by the ignoramus that is Jordan

I've fixed that for you

Wouldn’t HAVE

Over the 10 years? It is worth MUCH more than. MUCH. Even conservatively a 2024 starting point with a 5% CAGR increase each year equates to a total of £1.25bn and a £155m by year 10. And I understand the deal is more than that. Biggest deal ever in English sport

 

[jrb]

I've fixed that for you

Thanks.

BBC insinuating that it was a City climb down.

APT rules Premier League: Man City end dispute over sponsor rules

Manchester City and the Premier League reach a settlement in their dispute over the rules that govern commercial deals.

www.bbc.co.uk

Trust the BBC to get it hopelessly wrong, The Judges ruled the amendments were unlawful,

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

Why do you assume we've won ? It could be that our lawyers have advised the club our legal action is not going to succeed and it's better to drop the proceedings rather than carry on with a claim we've no realistic chance of winning.

We won the case because the amendments were unlawful. The rules revert back to the original existing rules which means our sponsor deals can go ahead,

 

[Micky Blue]

Trust the BBC to get it hopelessly wrong, The Judges ruled the amendments were unlawful,

they didn’t get it wrong.
They know what they’re doing.
It’s more shit to throw at us and defame us with.

It’s a concerted effort to make us the bad guys.
The BBC are just utter trash.
How they get away with their blatant bias is both shocking and terrifying.

How much would the net present value be?

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

Not sure how that can be the case. And either way, I am basing my opinion on the statement alone, rather than journalists' commentary or opinion. The statement makes no such claim. We can presume it, but all it says is that we accept the PL rules to be lawful and binding. That's all.

That was all in the published evidence from the APT1 case.

 

[ShedDweller]

Looks like it. Fucking hell.

Looks like part of a deal to end the whole 115 shitshow.

I think we can expect an announcement on the 115 fairly soon now.

I think this settlement indicates a positive outcome for us on the 115.

Proves again you don’t know about how the 115/130 being deliberated. It’s out of the premier hands it’s three judges who will decide after looking at all the evidence..

The idiot doesnt even know where the EPL are getting their money from as the premier league clubs are probably no longer willing to pay for it out of their tv Moneys
