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

[bobbyowenquiff]

The Etihad deal wasn’t deemed to have been delayed though, the FAB and the EP ones were.

I know but if you look at the dates it dragged on for about eight months. I think it was first submitted on Nov 17 2023 but not resolved till April 25 2024. Perhaps the Judges thought the timescale was justified. The sluggish progress makes painful reading. How can any business operate if it has to wait such a long period for an important investment. The Emirates Palace was bizarre. The PL dragged their feet for months and then approved it as being fair value. What a bloody farce. Masters is a lunatic.

The Wireless group - bought by a Mr R.Murdoch a few years ago.

You try your luck with 100 women and get 99 knock backs. You get one say yes and you take her home. Your night was a success.

Not if she turns out to be a serial killer :)

They are guilty of non-cooperation in this case and we could be in the 115 case. The fact that they are guilty cannot prove our innocence, as I just said "whataboutery" doesn't work in law.

I understand that. The point I was making was that their "staffing crisis" may have also hampered other cases. The PL is in crisis at the moment.

And that’s half the trouble , he will and probably does get labelled as a city fan boy , tolmie has the inside track that is invaluable to this forum , but luckily for him he remains anonymous and rightly so with his obvious connections , Stefan is there to be ridiculed, and sadly it’s from people on here who really should just wind their necks in and realise he’s a blue right at the end of the day.

Think people need to remember the city inside track will be naturally slanted in our favour too. There’s nothing wrong in thinking there’s aspects in the judgment that clearly didn’t go our way too, that’s what most rational people would think reading it.

They’d also think the PL are clearly incompetent as a regulator.

I've been asleep and not following and this is getting hard to track. Just spoke to my in law he said he's read that 11 clubs have said they will vote against as they have owner loans...anyone heard this if so please provide the link?

A song about the red cartel:

The red cartel
The fuckin red cartel
We hope you burn in hell
We hope you burn in hell
The fuckin red cartel.

The red cartel
The fuckin red cartel
We hope you burn in hell
We hope you burn in hell
The fuckin red cartel......

Repeat repeat repeat.

Need something simple with real venom.

How about

They're red
They're shit
They're fucking bricking it...

Rule Everton out of that list for starters , and they have the biggest soft loan in the league.

Yes the judges thought the timescale was justified for the Etihad one, not for the other two.

I found the Etihad deal bit slightly uncomfortable reading tbh, some of it justified why the APT rules are probably needed.
