You mean the PL’s leading counsel , who lost, is better than City’s leading counsel, who won?

What’s wrong with that?

Never mind. See you next Tuesday :)

Give it Giggsy till the end of the season?

I completely agree. Re your last point perhaps they thought they didn’t need to…

Stefan has made the same point. The PL's evidence was clearly challenged by the club, that much is clearly stated in the judgment, as are the tribunal's reasons for accepting the PL's evidence. It seems however as though the club did not deploy every argument they might have: assuming that's...

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. It isn't mandatory. I don't know what happened in City's case.

The evidence before the tribunal on this was quite interesting. The PL said that Newcastle was the catalyst but not the reason for the introduction of the APT rules in substitution for the previous RPT rules. They said that the prime motivator was to stop another Portsmouth. Personally, even...

Because shareholder loans aren’t illegal. They haven’t been found to be illegal. What’s illegal is a system of law that outlaws a whole series of APTs EXCEPT FOR shareholder loans. It’s the exclusion of shareholder loans that make the APT rules unlawful, not the loans themselves.

At present there are no rules against interest free shareholder loans. There will be soon. The new rules will apply to all loans whether or not agreed before the new rules come into force. But. Those rules will come into effect immediately for all new loans. They will only come into...

False comparison. The rules are currently unlawful and unenforceable. New rules will be introduced which will be both lawful and enforceable. However these rules will apply to existing ongoing contractual arrangements. Those arrangements automatically breach the new rules because they haven't...

Or you could move to old Trafford. Not as many rags there as in Ireland.

I asked them all
