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

[Alan Harper's Tash]

He totally rubbished Martin Samuels article, I've posted his reply to me above your quote.

Samuel’s piece was an opinion piece. Some will agree with it and others won’t.

Let's get back on topic now please, rather than arguing about something someone might or might not have said months ago.

So did we win or not?

 

[Stoned Rose]

We are a shareholder of the PL whose existence and operations have been attacked and besmirched as a consequence of the dishonesty and lack of integrity of the CEO.

The CEO has also been responsible for introducing laws which have been found to be unlawful and directly affecting the running of the club.

In introducing such rules at the behest of certain US owned clubs, City have been denied to same financial operating conditions as teams operating in direct. Those teams have a lso been able to rely upon financial loans to boost their income, and yet not have those loans reflected in their PSR assessments, and have therefore benefitted unfairly when compared to less favoured teams.

Your approach seems to ignore the outcome of the tribunal's decision for the sake of accuracy.

The use of the word " winning " by posters, whilst technically incorrect, is used to express their feelings possibly relief, fear of the challenge not being upheld, and is an expression of the club's success in challenging and being successful against the cabal.

Rather than insisting on pedantry, perhaps allow posters a few moments of enjoyment ?

Top post.

Part of the framework needs to be rewritten. These get done all the time. Is it guaranteed that the rewriting will be beneficial to us?

All we can do from here is see how it plays out. We’ve forced their hand and seem to be on the attack, so we’re in unchartered, interesting waters.

Definitely time to get the popcorn out.

Are you my psychiatrist? ;-)

Not finished the course yet.

I don’t think so.

However Cliff warns that it is "remarkable that the Premier League is now seeking to involve the member clubs in a process to amend the APT rules at a time when it does not even know the status of those rules".

He added: "We will be writing separately about this to the Premier League but in the meantime, given the findings in the award, this is the time for careful reflection and consideration by all clubs, and not for a knee-jerk reaction.

"Such an unwise course would be likely to lead to further legal proceedings with further legal costs. It is critical for member clubs to feel that they can have trust in their regulator."

Cliff's letter will also increase speculation that City may take further legal action to claim compensation for any losses they argue they have suffered as a result of the rules.

What part of “for now” did you struggle with, lol?

You are the master, mate, of posting an article we’ve been discussing for hours on here. Told you before, there’s about a 5 minute window before it’s on here, hahaha. Always gives me a chuckle that you think you’re bringing breaking news to the forum!

Absolutely. That wasn't why I posted slbsn's reply to me. It was in answer to @IcriedwhenTueartleft's query asking if he totally dismissed Martin Samuel's article.
