Good

I often call emergency meetings when I have won a major battle with my sworn enemy.

It’s totally the normal way to take a victory lap.

Perhaps the Premier League will now employ lawyers that know the law!

Bit late for that now ;-)

That should be interesting !

Why would they need to call an emergency meeting If according to them they won!!!! I would love to a fly on the wall at that meeting. Cos it ain't gonna be to slap themselves on the back after their supposed victory.

I have some limited MOJ historic work experience. I am sure the (retired) judges were persuaded to use some nice wording to assist the PL for political/media reasons. There have been rumours about a settlement. Perhaps some more knowledgeable posters can comment. City won well despite the spin

The Forest fan is not a happy bunny. Shame.

He doesn't understand anything. No surprise there.

Anyway, good to see him depressed.

Yeah that’s easy, City argued the whole APT system was unfair and the tribunal rejected that completely.

Really? I thought it’s been said by many that it was only the amendments to the rules that we weren’t happy with and that we had no issue with APT as long as it was implemented fairly?

Aside from the newfound scrutiny and the expense of doing so.

It will be interesting to see what happens now. If a club like Brighton, for instance, has to take £375m of debt servicing on their books at say 8%, thats £30m a year in debt servicing costs. How can they sustain that ?
