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

[bobbyowenquiff]

It is true. We took the PL to court over the full set of rules, not certain parts of them. The intention would have been to ensure those that restrict us were removed - job done. But we didn't limit our case to certain elements of the rulebook we sought to remove all of them.

It was just a negotiation tactic. We have got everything we wanted from the case. Before February this year City have always supported financial regulation. Khaldoon has repeatedly stressed that all we have ever wanted is fair treatment. The PL sabotaged two of our sponsor deals and would not even allow us to discuss how they arrived at their decision. Independent Judges have now ruled this was illegal and unfair. The word I would use is corruption. It was a corrupt decision. It needs to be called out for what it is.

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!

We waited till the time was right.

It is now!

Rags, Arse, Victims and spuds splitting the bill four ways would be most satisfactory.

And the rags in particular love going Dutch.

Hang on Blues.

Jordan is doing his job by flip flopping his opinions and creating controversy.

@slbsn is doing his job by sticking to the facts.

Just because Jordan is on City’s side today means nothing tomorrow.

It might look like Stefan isn’t pushing City’s win but if Simon wasn’t so pro our position this morning Stefan’s position wouldn’t look anything other than it always has…balanced.

Jordan is bang on the money today.

The PL the great success story of this country, destroying itself from within.

Simply incredible.

At last - the penny has dropped for the loud mouthed showman

Could someone please give a link to the full judgement please so I could print it off. This thread is moving so fast, you get up to make a brew and 50 pages are added. Cheers.

It’s because he called it wrong and doesn’t want that to be the perception around him so is he is therefore not fully backtracking.

He’s not covered himself with glory with this APT case. I still think Stefan is generally trustworthy though.

We are, according to Liverpool fans, the football club equivalent of Donald Trump. Claiming victory in defeat.

Where do these half wits come up with such tosh as that?!

Talksport aside there is no doubt that City view the ruling as a big win and, on the back of that, have gone for the PL like never before.

City are trying to smash the PL leadership here and now.

Jordan was firmly against us until recently...if he is siding with us now
