Just not sure which round of internationals :)

I have a feeling it will drop just before the international break

The thing is with City you have to also add in wages, agents fees and convert euros to pounds on a 1 for 1 basis so €70m becomes £70m and then multiply by the term of the contract

I think you’ll find he became a Doctor

Why is Jeff Stelling in the photo?

I'll wait to read this on the BBC website as they were very quick to report his allegations https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c0rzzpnqywqo I am sure they will be jsut as quick when these allegations are dismissed

I have. Just because I wouldn’t buy him a dinner jacket

The issue with the media I have is the difference in the reporting between the Middle Eastern owners and those from the US. Indeed the BBC ran an article this week about Newcastle after they won the cup asking how fans how they feel with critics of Saudi Arabia highlighting Human rights...

But my point is that is the situation after November 2024. There are no repercussions to all those clubs who have had shareholder loans but clubs affected by sponsorship deals still face restrictions which is still unfair

The point is there are no repercussions for those clubs with shareholder loans despite the tribunal highlighting the fact that the PL deliberately excluded them in 2021. Whereas those clubs like City will still be faced with reductions to its sponsorship deals despite failing to receive the...

And this surely this is why the PL are in a mess. If they do what City request those clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal will say but there were no rules re loans and if there had been we would have taken steps to mitigate the costs

I am not sure the fact that the tribunal accepted the concept of APT was a big win for the PL. City abstained from the vote upon their introduction if I remember correctly adopting a wait and see approach. Without the changes introduced in Feb 2024 would we be here now or would City have been...

It’s quite clear this is a complete mess and I cannot understand why the PL have let it get to this. Why didn’t they try and negotiate with City and others to thrash out a compromised agreement that Scudamore was very good at doing. As you said on Sunday surely the risk of losing APT 2 is too...

My supplemental question would be how can rules that à Tribunal say were Null and Void in their entirety from 2021 to Oct 2024 still be relied on because of a vote that took place in Nov 2024. The PL cannot take action against shareholder loans in those years so they cannot implement the rules...

I would like to clarify some issues. In 2021 APT rules were introduced. In November 2024 there were new rules introduced because a Tribunal identified in October 2024 that these rules had 3 elements that were unlawful. In Feb 2025 that same tribunal determined those rules voted in 2021in...

Thought Stefan was excellent on TalkSPORT. It is good when there is a proper debate. I wish that he had turned the question about City appealing should they lose to ask Custis what happens if City win?

If Newcastle can prove that that since 2021 their deals have been written down due to APT rules then the provable losses could be huge.

I do recognise that by yesterday’s victory any club can now sue the PL should they feel that any deals which had been rejected by the PL under the APT rules. I agree that the club has to provide evidence about what those losses are but the principle is there. None of us know what the level...

I am not sure if you are being obtuse on purpose but I have explained that the previous rules are unlawful and therefore did not exist The PL rejected the Etihad and FADB sponsorships by using unlawful rules that didn’t exist. Therefore the monies from those sponsorship deals have not yet been...

You seem to be getting confused. The fact is that the APT rules did not exist prior to November 2024 except as a concept. Therefore if any clubs income has been reduced by the PL using APT rules as a reason then the loss is clear and obvious. Going forward we don’t know until the IC rules...
