We didn’t really lose any, though.I don’t think we lost any. The fact that some of the reasons for the laws being unlawful were dismissed did not change the outcome that the rules are unlawful.
Some of our arguments regarding why the APT rules (original and revised) are unlawful were dismissed, but our overall charge that they are unlawful in previous and current form, and that the league unfairly targeted City (and Newcastle) and violated there own rules in doing so, were upheld in their entirety. The text of the decision also alludes to quite shady internal practices being driven by certain executives at certain clubs, which itself also confirms City’s assertion that the league has been working to unfairly advantage certain clubs at the expense of others.
We didn’t actually lose a single aspect of our challenge—we went 7 for 7 from the penalty spot.
