Have you read all of the judgment. Be honest.
The end result was pretty much as I expected - main principles upheld and some meaningful but not necessarily decisive wins. Like it or not that is my objective view. You don’t need to agree but it is based on reading what was said not simply my life long football bias.
And even if you don’t agree it doesn’t change that challenges like this are very hard to win which was a point you seem to also disagree with
I think that's fair Stefan. But when you consider what City's main objectives would have been when taking the PL to court I think you can draw the conclusion that they won. Ultimately the amended rules that led to our potential sponsorships being rejected have been found unlawful and we have the opportunity to present those again and have full disclosure from the PL as to why they're not acceptable, if indeed they are able to do so. Similarly, owners ploughing in cash to their clubs interest free will now need to be assessed. The critical elements of the rules City would have been unhappy with have been found to be unlawful - that's a "win".
