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

[Time will pass me by]

Still getting my head around this bit.
The unamended APT rules were found to be compliant but only if they incorporate an assessment of shareholder loans. That means they are not compliant.
To comply the rules will need changing and the premier league will have to vote on this. As it stands there are about 12 premier league clubs who will be seriously negatively effected by this (not utd sadly). Will they vote for a rule change that will hurt them financially or just scrap the lot? Suddenly teams like Arsenal may loose all interest in the APT process if it was to be applied fairly.

I thought they were supposed to gather the dust.

That's the joke, won best joke at the Edinburgh fringe a couple of years ago...'my old hoover just sits in the corner gathering dust"

Just watching itv news on plus1 so far no mention of this or that it's to come later. Odd

Yes but it will be applied differently by the Panel as there won't be any time-barring in place.

You really didn’t read the full CAS report did you? Now jog you mug.

I’m not missing any point, a poster asked if the PL actually won anything at all and the answer is yes.

You can claim the club didn’t have a problem with the original APT rules, that doesn’t change the fact they just spent a lot of time and money trying to get them thrown out, the rules were on the line and we were unsuccessful, which is a win for the PL.

It might not be something the club are devastated about, but it’s ridiculous to claim that winning an argument at arbitration isn’t a win when the consequences of losing would have been huge.

They’re entitled to celebrate that because they’d be absolutely fucked if we’d won.

If we won that they wouldn't be fucked because uefa have fair value and if clubs want to be in Europe they have to abide by those rules

What does he mean on all sides??

The Premier League seem to be wasting a hell of a lot of their shareholders’ money hiring expensive silks to try and uphold the rules.

It’s a waste as the rules seem to have been drawn up by Lionel Hutz.

Ian Darke, once a **** always a ****. Get back to whittering about the cost of our bench you deluded red loving thick prick

Thing is he has no need to comment on the findings apart from he's a ****.
