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

[Centurions]

115 is a disciplinary panel under Section W. All three members chosen by the PL.

I agree, but the question was regarding City's action surely?

Arsenal can have emirates as a sponsor.
FA can have emirates as a sponsor.
But city cannot have etihad as a sponsor.
Seems like discrimination for city owners being from
UAE.

Makes us look greedy and dismissive of the league as a whole.At the same time they are defending the 115 charges too, so I’m sure greater minds than mine are behind this, but it won’t win us any popularity contests.Also, if unlimited spending prevails, we risk turning premier league into La Ligurian or SPL !Not sure how I feel on this.

City are not asking for unlimited spending. They just want everyone to be treated the same and not discriminated against.

Do you genuinely think the Billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe will be putting his own money into the rags?

Come on, he is not that stupid!!

Agree I wouldn't be surprised if utd are with us on this. Doesn't ineos sponsor his French club ?

Was she the one who accepted the job and then backtracked blaming undue influence from 'certain clubs'? It might have been one of the other 2 or 3 or turned it down though.

Yeah I can’t think who the others were.

It sure looks like we are going all in now, huge couple of weeks coming up for our future and the league's future.

Lose this case and we look proper *ucked

Not really, there's nothing for City to lose here. The rules are in place so nothing would change unless we win.

This is a legal action and the arbitration will be heard by a judge who will hold them to the same laws as any british business which is entirely citys case to be fair that the pl rules do not comply with anti competition law in the uk

Well let’s hope the judge isn’t a liverpool fan then! ;-)

I agree, but the question was regarding City's action surely?

115 is a section W action under a disciplinary panel.

City's claim is a section X arbitration action.

All under the PL rules but different rules, a little more like CAS.

 

[Centurions]

Wonder how much we think we have lost out on and what the damages would be if we won ?

I might be wrong but I don’t see this affecting the 115 this wasn’t in place then think that’s just media trying to make out like we are worried or cheating

I've not read everything here as it's moving way too fast but it seems to be about the associated party amendments replacing the accepted related part rules. Like their amendments that allow them to demand unfettered access to anything and everything I think City feel it's far too intrusive and deliberately aimed at clubs with links outside of the USA specifically. I can understand the language used by City. There isn't really any link to the 115 charges as the timescales are too far apart.
