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

At the end of the day when all the shit has dried out there will be a new league formed, whether we win the 115 case or not, it doesn’t matter,

People need to accept that nothing last forever, and the premier league has had a good run but it’s winding down to a slow death,

It’s going to happen, it’s time for change people,

I believe it will be a new league run with AI technology for officiating, where every decision made in live action will be 100% correct, there will also be a more tech immersive experience for fans, seats will have QR Codes for you to order food to lessons ques and the replica shirts will have built in technology behind the badge, where you can feel the heart rate of your favourite player during a game,

Fans across the globe will be able to access technology that makes them feel like they are actually watching the game live at the Etihad from there bedroom wherever they are in the world,

During half-time a famous rock band will be rolled out on a moving stage to perform 15 minutes of there greatest hits, while former players ride horses around the pitch firing free shirts from cannons into the crowd, while a fan on the big screen wins a years free supply of kfc and a free weekend pass for the Manchester City museum tour,


Managers, coaches, scouts, club owners will all be accessing AI to gain an advantage on there sporting opponents in the transfer markets, data analysis, business operations and opportunities,

All this will be formed in a new league not far from now, where the winners of that league win a billion dollars and a great big fuck off gold trophy filled with a gold bullion for each championship winning player,

The truth , and people’s opinions politically and with everything these days will get filtered into the trash bin on social media platforms , the truth , and people’s valid opinions won’t even reach the light of day , the press and media are the most dangerous thing in setting narratives. The country is fucked in so many ways.

It's a worldwide issue, not just the UK.
This is 'just' football, doing similar with real news is fucking scary & downright dangerous.....or maybe i'm just a FOC who knows nothing.

I’ve seen and read a lot on this case, as we all have, and never once got angry at anything I’ve digested, but I’m absolutely fuming at this. Who the f**k does this c**t think he is. The PL rules have proven to be illegal, THAT is why we don’t like them. I consider myself a pacifist, but I swear if I see that weasel at the Southampton game, I genuinely don’t think I’d be able to stop myself.

Don’t let the truth get in the way of a click baiter mate

its the same as the 115 charges.
They have thrown so much that they just hope some sticks.

I suspect whatever the verdict, the panel will come to the conclusion that 115/130 etc charges are ridiculous. Clearly padded out to make things appear worse.

Too true and if we've been accused on 115 charges it's virtually impossible the other clubs participating in the Premier League over that period (30-35?) are completely innocent.

We know about the fiddles involving the Dippers, Rags, Chavs and Tarquins but there's surely skeletons in the cupboard's of lesser Clubs but because they were no threat the Red Shirt Influenced PL didn't give two big ones.

Does this explain why all the Rules are void?

The judgment says the Rules and the Amended Rules are "in breach of sections 2 and 18 of the Competition Act 1998"

Section 2 of the Act:

Agreements etc. preventing, restricting or distorting competition.​

(1)Subject to section 3, agreements between undertakings, decisions by associations of undertakings or concerted practices which—
(a)may affect trade within the United Kingdom, and
(b)have as their object or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition within the United Kingdom,
are prohibited unless they are exempt in accordance with the provisions of this Part.

(2)Subsection (1) applies, in particular, to agreements, decisions or practices which—
(a)directly or indirectly fix purchase or selling prices or any other trading conditions;
(b)limit or control production, markets, technical development or investment;
(c)share markets or sources of supply;
(d)apply dissimilar conditions to equivalent transactions with other trading parties, thereby placing them at a competitive disadvantage;
(e)make the conclusion of contracts subject to acceptance by the other parties of supplementary obligations which, by their nature or according to commercial usage, have no connection with the subject of such contracts.

(3)Subsection (1) applies only if the agreement, decision or practice is, or is intended to be, implemented in the United Kingdom.

(4)Any agreement or decision which is prohibited by subsection (1) is void.


So - City have shown that the Rules offend subsection 1 so the agreement is unlawful and prohibited (not just individual rules) and (subsection 4) if the agreement is prohibited it is void (the whole agreement - or the "decisions by associations of undertakings" if the Rules do not constitute an agreement).

The section means that anyone can take action against an "association" and argue that it's a competition-stopping cartel. In this case, one member of the association has done it!

Section 18 prohibits abuse of a dominant position.

In a nut shell yes.
