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

[johnny crossan]

Has Stefan read The Times headline this morning - "Legal Victory for City" apparently - anybody got a link?

Man City victory as Premier League’s sponsorship rules declared unlawful

Premier League calls emergency meeting with all 20 clubs after two deals with Etihad and First Abu Dhabi Bank were deemed to have been ‘unfairly blocked’ in landmark decision

The substantive points of the decision were won by City, I don't know what Stefan's smoking.

 

[Keeper!]

I've been disappointed in his mutual response considering he's a Blue. Martin Samuel's gave us better support.

To be fair it's a hugely complex judgement and the ramifications as he said will take time to unravel.

Also worth bearing in mind that City have got 3/4 weeks feedback from our legal team on the shite that’s being said by the Prem in the 115 hearing, think we can take it as read that there’s no attempt by City to build bridges here, lol.

I’ve been looking on RAWK. They are sick that the entire media are being paid by us

They very quickly went from anger when the news initially broke yesterday to absolute certainty that we have totally failed and it is a win for the PL - desperate to believe the PL smoke and mirrors

Post after post stating that CITY are trying to spin the outcome to try and avoid admitting that it is a PL victory

Then you have ones like this which shows their certainty that CITY are fucked on the 115/130 - they cannot understand that they are separate cases:

"It wouldn`t surprise me if an approach is made by Pannick on their behalf to see what a settlement could look like. I am convinced that the arbitration was a major part of the strategy. If they had succeeded in any way to undermine the FMV rules then this would have had a big impact on the 115(130). The fact is that it hasn`t and they will now need to take stock."

They are still praying for our demise - as this answer demonstrates:

"I’d be all for a settlement. I’d settle for Man City to be expelled from the premier league, they are fined to the extent of how much owner funds they have smuggled into the club and they have to start again at the lowest tier in football, plus state ownership is banned.
I’d settle for that."

And not should be given to the present PL rulers, treat them with the contempt they deserve.

I also wonder if our approach here could suggest things are going well in the current hearing? I’m no expert but is this another way of keeping the Premier Leagues legal team very busy during the 115 hearing?

Why does the without paywall link never work for me?

Stefan has just thrown us under a bus - judgement 'not significant' and it's left to Lord Jaw Jaw to point out the obvious. Really disappointed with this lad.

I assume he’s not aware of City’s email, hahaha.

When an independent tribunal finds that a governing body has “abused its dominant position”, shouldn’t there be some repercussions in terms of those responsible being removed from post?
