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

[alexmcity]

I keep seeing posts slamming Stefan for no particular reason other than he doesn't wear his City scarf on TS? Whose dog did he run over?

Slamming Stefan is wrong, but pointing out that he wasn't right to be restrained or pessimistic about particular outcomes is perfectly legit.

If he understands what's really happening, then, maybe, he shouldn't be sitting on the fence.

We won on the main headline substantive points . Rival fans and some know nothing TalkSHITE presenters pathetically trying to spin the outcome as not quite the win City are claiming. We won, slam dunk, clear win and in doing so, have despite the protests, proved the Prem high command to be incompetent in their creation of 'unlawful' rules. That same line of incompetence applies to the 115 charges. To me, a genius move by Pannick to prove the Prem to be incompetent.

It's quite odd to hear Jordan claiming a City win and Stefan being more neutral.

In Stefan's defence, he's trying to give his qualified opinion on things. City brought a number of matters to the court with an attempt to destroy the APT rules. The fact we didn't succeed on that means there is an argument we didn't win. I would have thought Stefan would know enough at this point to understand City's true intention was to reverse the rule changes that have blocked our most recent sponsorship deals and in winning on those points it's job done.

I would also think that he's more keen to calm the rhetoric that this will destroy football and lead to City being able to do whatever we want. If he's openly claiming a City win he probably loses all credibility when it comes to making that argument.

"attempt to destroy the APT rules"


Not true, I would imagine the last thing our execs want is Newcastle and Co getting a blank cheque

Maybe he's after Jordan's job

I dont think that, but he does keep getting invited bk and historically that has meant towing the party line where talksport is concerned.

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?

I said this yesterday.

Has to be a sacking offence or at the very least lead to resignations?

If a GP, cop, teacher etc did the same they’d be out the door before they could fart.

Only in this country can the media report the opinion of the losing side as fact rather than quote the actual findings of the tribunal. Perhaps it’s the fantasy age we live in where the premier league can self identify as winners and proclaim ‘their truth’.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Biggest shithouse, shit stirring **** on the planet.

Wasn’t he all apocalyptic when we first brought the case? City taking massive liberties etc?

Wunder if he's had a message from City's lawyers ?

But you are correct and is just an absolute **** of an individual who cannot be trusted or taken seriously.

I honestly do not understand why so many listen to the shite.

 

[blue for life]

Can’t believe what I am hearing from Jordan!!

 

[City Raider]

Listening to the parts i have on TS, i think the reality is dawning. The discussion isnt so much about who won, but is the premier league fit for purpose. I think this is our main objective.

That link is very revealing.

In summary it seems we are saying ATP is unlawful, all of it. So what if we didn’t win on a few counts. We only needed to win one for it to be unlawful.

We are bringing the house down. After years of frustration with our softly, softly approach, the gloves are now off. There is no going back.

It's all.of their own making. We tried, God how we tried, to conform, to fit in, to appease and to be nice. The only problem was we kept on winning things. In spite of all their hatred, bile, illegal rule changes, letter writing and a relentless media smear campaign, we just kept on winning. Trophy after trophy while playing the best football this country had ever seen. They mistook our kindness for weakness, until the bullies went one step too far, bouyed by our compliance. They wanted to wipe out our family. Now they've found out. Oh fucking have they!
