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

The bottom line on this for me is the PL need to sit down and agree new rules but on much fairer terms. If they maintain the stated objective of the rules and ensure some form of FMV is applied to sponsorships and now financing packages then the burden and standard of proof that any deal is outside FMV becomes much harder to do , it has to be very obviously above FMV - and if they call a deal out may be much easier to challenge with the potential of huge legal costs and compensation. The financial packages much easier to give a value at FMV would think. Just think the PL will tread more carefully in future. An obvious advantage from going down the commercial sponsorship route rather than shareholder loans for us being we get to spend it on the squad and wages even within the new rules around squad costs. We are in a stronger position today than we were pre judgement. In effect we may not have beaten the school bully to a pulp but we have bloodied his nose.

Bring it on
 
Difference is, when we write letters, we do it ourselves, like big boys.
