City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

[Pam]

it's either remove them or come up with a legal solution that's agreeable with the majority. Anything else is asking the PL to be handing cash out in a tribunal again

Good.

 

[we are really here]

I don’t care what they say, anything found to be unlawful is an absolutely terrible result for the premier league.

Their entire “victory” is that the panel said that rules do need to be in place, that’s not a victory that’s just stating the obvious. Meanwhile’s city victory was that yes the PL rules were actually unlawful and in being so directly hurt us.

It’s not an even split of victory, and anyone with a brain will get it.
you can guarantee the board members of the red cunts and the pl are absolutely fucking fuming no matter what they say in public

There in lies the problem. Not many fans of other clubs have half a brain

That should be interesting !

Why do they need an emergency meeting. I thought the PL won the case!

The legality of APT as a concept was upheld, just not the 2 most recent additions. City argued the whole thing was unlawful and failed.

It’s not arguable that was a major victory for the PL, if City had succeeded in that there’d be no APT rules right now, and as it stands we’re just back to 2020 rules.

People can argue about whether City thought they’d actually win that argument or not, but the fact is they made the argument and lost and the PL is in a much much better position than they’d be if that claim had been upheld.

The word concept is quite wide ranging tho. In practice it was found to be illegal.

He doesn't understand anything. No surprise there.

Anyway, good to see him depressed.

If or when the 115 charges are thrown out, he'll be fucking ropeable along with Magic Twat, Harris, Roan, Liew, Jordan and all those others who have done nothing but smear the club with their ill informed views and lies.

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 ?

city will get blamed for matchday ticket price increase

Just thinking this might be a good time for our legal team in the other little matter to offer the Premier League a deal. Drop all charges and pay our costs.

No deals! End it once and for all!

By selling us Mitoma for £4.35

exactly this, the next meeting is going to kick off massively

We don’t even know how many sponsorships they rejected unlawfully. We know City had 3, it wouldn’t surprise me if the league-wide figure was upwards of 10? You’d imagine Newcastle would have a few for starters. Chelsea? Wolves?

Those clubs are all going to want compensation for those sponsorships, especially if City end up getting a big wedge awarded.

So the next PL meeting could get very spicy.
