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

[Dribble]

The question I have is that if the tribunal have found certain aspects of the PSR and APT rules to be unlawful, how did this come to pass ?

The PL had sought legal advice before drafting the rules , were they implemented despite the legal advice or was the legal advice simply wrong

It all points to a set of rules that have been curated and pushed through by a certain number of clubs specifically targeted at City, and probably more prominently, Newcastle

This surely has a bearing on the 115 case , setting our stall out that there are rules specifically targeted at our club that were unlawful

This is the key. It's my understanding that in order to compete in the PL, the 20 stakeholders agree that no litigation against the PL can be taken against the league in the UK or European law courts, unless it concerns the actual complaints process, but NOT the substance of the complaint.

This essentially makes the PL judge, jury & executioner, hence why the Red Top Mafia can unduly influence PL rules to their advantage, & there's nothing the other stakeholders can do about it.

I sense City were very serious when Khaldoon warned in 2014/15 that we'd reluctantly "take a pinch", but the next time they come at us, we'd rather spend £30m on the world's best lawyers, than pay UEFA or the PL another penny in fines.

I'm fuckin glad we've taken the gloves off, & put the knuckle-dusters & bovver boots on!

Too fucking late- the red cartel are the ones who should've been careful. Don't fuck with Sheikh Mansour and Khaldoon you bent bastards

If we’re not careful they might hit us with 115 charges of financial irregularities that threaten the very existence of the club.

City have taken the gloves off.

Simon Cliff has morphed into Robocop.

So, under the current rules 0% shareholder loans are accepted but they are now unlawful.

A few clubs will need to factor in FMA interest rates into their PSR.

We’re told an easy solution to this is to turn those loans into equity - if that shareholder has the appetite to do so (which is a big assumption).

So my question is, are shareholders now allowed to pump equity into a club, regardless of how much and, if so, is there anything stopping our owners from doing the same?

I haven’t a clue and would love some clarity on that if someone on here knows the answer

As far as I'm aware owners can pump £30m per season into the club for things like transfers, wages etc, but unlimited amounts for infrastructure project, like a new stadium, or the youth system.

At last someone understands

Round One to Manchester City in the big Premier League legal showdown - Prolific North

Tribunal finds sections of the Premier League's rules on Associate Party Transfer are 'unfair' and 'unlawful'.

Must be written by a blue…

It’s long been a popular hobby among fans of the club from just outside Manchester in nearby Stretford to refer to their blue neighbours as “bitters.” The way this saga is panning out, the bitterness looks like it will be spilling out way beyond East Manchester.

Who is this prick?

Has he actually made this up?

I'm struggling to see why your so outraged? Which part of the article doesn't fairly align with the findings of the tribunal?

The blue moon lot have just come to terms with digital tickets lord knows what sort of anxiety spiral your prediction will set forth

Hahahaha

It is clear that both the Premier League and City won this hearing.

Based on that, Fulham and Watford have applied to the PL for all 3 points as they believe they, like City, also won.
Arsenal are waiting to see what happens but in the meantime they are writing a stern letter to someone.

He’s certainly happy to give the premier league far more credit than they deserve whilst playing down any of City’s points so he’s a bit of a dick whoever he follows.

Everyone says we have the best in the business in Pannick yet we are now to consider a journalist albeit for a legal magazine knows better.
