PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Mancini Manus Domini]

Have we acquired Savio before these new rules have come into force?

The TeamViewer one was even more inflated.

something like 10% of their entire revenue iirc.

To this day I haven't a clue what Team viewer is or what they do!

There is another side to the fair price sponsorship debate and it’s a bit more unscrupulous. If the PL are able to look into a clubs commercially sensitive material, that gives those on the PL boards a commercial advantage, knowing how the sponsorship is structured. And who is on these boards, undoubtedly there’ll be somebody from the Red tops picking through the detail.

This was, and is still a huge concern to us and why we will not fully cooperate with what the likes of UEFA and PL ask. We are a business first and foremost and giving your competitor critical data is something to be avoided at all times.

Why does any of this matter too us ?
Our horse bolted a long time ago, we are the biggest attraction in the football world and as such we will attract the biggest sponsorship deals and as such all fair market values will be judged of what we are worth to companies.
So in essence smaller /underachieving clubs like United, Liverpool and Arsenal should receive smaller sponsorship deals until such times as they can match our achievements.

Without the benefit of any personal legal training I have to say I have learnt more about the legal process by reading various BM threads.

We certainly value your legal opinions as well as your other opinions on none football threads.
Keep posting Gorden (as if you needed any encouragement).

It really helped me with a legal case….

First I made sure I didn’t say legal team
Second I just left everything to my legal team solicitor
Third I realised it’s about points of law not innuendo perceived thoughts of right & wrong
Fourth It’s a process let it play out
Fifth No one wants to go to court

He can be as powerful as he wants to be. The clubs aren't in charge of what gets discussed at the meetings. He is. They aren't responsible for presenting documentation to the meetings, he is. If there is something asked for by the clubs which goes against the spirit of competition or that he thinks will be challenged on the grounds of illegality, he should be strong enough to say no and the clubs can vote him out if they don't like it.

He is a patsy. Platini was a patsy as well and that is how all this shit started. Ceferin, at least, has some balls. Masters needs to grow some before the PL is in big trouble in the courts. One way or another, he won't be around much longer, he must know that. He should stand up, show some backbone and do what is right for once in his miserable existence.

Masters and his fellow Directors will be directing the legal process against City. He will not be consulting all the other PL clubs along the way but will certainly be being pressurised by LFC, Arsenal, MUFC, and Spurs behind the scenes.
Information is still leaking to the media, especially The Times. Not just from the City case but also from the Everton case. There was one targeting Newcastle on related sponsors last weekend.
These leaks are designed to damage City and Newcastle. They can only come from the PL board itself or from a club Director in the loop.
The PL leadership is not acting in good faith and senior Government and Opposition politicians on the Select Committee know exactly what is going on. That’s why they are so openly hostile to Masters.

GordEn?

Seems it's not only my legal education that needs revision. Apologies to all.

It really is ridiculous. This bunch of amateurs took 4 years to bring a case against City, their teams/departments
( I actually don't believe there are any), couldn't list their own rules correctly. They only have a couple of low paid lawyers. They take 18 months to decide whether players are betting on games, and they take months to decide if they are going to back their own rules.

To believe that the shit show that is the PL have the staff or the expertise (joke) to vet every sponsorship deal and transfer is quite frankly insulting and for them, impossible. I'm not surprised the club are rumoured to be challenging this in the courts. The rule book would read like a Blackadder script with Masters in the Baldrick role.

Spot on. How can clubs like City trust the PL with sensitive commercial data about our deals when it is leaked to our commercial rivals who then leak it to their pals in the media. Where are all these stories about City, Everton and Newcastle coming from. They are coming from senior level people at the Cartel clubs who are getting them from senior people at the PL and possibly the EFL who are also in constant discussion with the PL. Nothing has changed since the UEFA legal battle.
