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

[The Future’s Blue!]

Yep. Many of us completely vindicated after years of smirks and innuendo

Remember when even Blues used to call others ‘TinFoilers’ and ‘Paranoid’, I think they’re on board now.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

The irony is these cunts have a dedicated programme called BBC Verify in which they claim to investigate that all the clains in a story are factually correct and thoroughly investigated, absolute fuckin charlatans

What, like they investigate complaints on their forums?

 

[JASR]

They have sat on the loo crapping themselves over this decision for 14 days.

Is it not that loans can be repaid, equity can’t be withdrawn?

The loans are likely to be secured against a ground or other assets to ensure a better chance of recovery if the worst happens. Not a real risk for the likes of Arsenal unfortunately.

Because all of United’s debt is commercial, much of it via the initial leveraged purchase, but more still from subsequent loan restructuring and cash injections. The Glazers have not used shareholder loans to finance club operations, as that comes with a set of risks they most certainly would not wish to assume. I believe they have effectively made equity investments their public listing in the US, which as supported further leveraging of operations.

This isn’t a sign of good management, though. They’ve saddled United with significant debt servicing obligations and continually extract value from the club whenever possible.

What about Scruffy Jim’s cash injection to reduce the debt?

Dickheads exposing their mental capacity for the world to see…

The Judges’ comments are damning.. just as they were in the CAS case. The haters can try to spin it as much as they want but the tone and content of these statements from two independent panels speak for themselves.

The other thing that hasn’t been posited in the media, is the real purpose of this claim was to discredit the failure to cooperate charges.

Especially as these are the only ones we can be objectively and evidentially convicted of.

 

[mcfcphil]

This is just giving us a little sample of how immense the piss boiling is going to be when found not guilty next spring, it's going to be glorious

They should definitely create an alternative league table omitting City.

United would be 13th.

I'm sure North West tonight
Just said City have failed in their bid to get the ATP Case won and it's Directly linked to 115?
Did anyone else hear this
1 min ago?

He said we've failed in the majority of our legal challenges against the PL's ownership and sponsorship rules (ownership?) - disingenuous bastard - and then went on to add that it isn't directly related to the 115 charges

 

[BlueAnorak]

Bottom line - either ALL sponsorships go through the same procedure or none. You can't pick and chose what a particular owner sub-group think should go through a filter of related party ownership.
