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

[cleavers]

It's just a bit galling that while we have been doing things the right way based on historical success, arsenal have basically been trying to buy the league title. I think everything you have won in the last few years is tainted and should have an asterisk next to it.

Such as ?

They will have to. No real option

That just seems such a stupid route to go down though and heavily skewed towards benefitting the owners rather than the clubs themselves and it devalues the point entirely of it being about making clubs financially sustainable.

Id much rather see them say that any owner loan needs to be converted to equity. This does show the issue of the owners of the clubs themselves also effectively being the regulators.

Funniest thing is, the PL's 'win' is some eyes is because the APT rules were deemed okay to have in place. Completed ignoring that City never wanted to tear the basis down, just the ridiculous adaptations around FMV and the secrecy surrounding the decisions.

It is incredible that the BBC online team has ignored the judgement summary which spells out in stark terms that the PL has acted illegally and unfairly. This can’t be an accident. This can only be bad faith.

Its undeniable now…. Some blues should hang their heads in shame.

@slbsn has put some decent stuff on his twitter page.

That excerpt is ridiculous and I'm not surprised City decided to do something about it. One of our sponsorships went from 'evidently above FMV' according to the PL, then they sought professional advice and were told that it was 'not above FMV'.

So basically they had no clue what FMV was but rejected it.

They are not fit to govern this league or these issues.

Was that by the company that the Dippers employ?
