Surely the sponsorship deal could still be signed but only the FMV part would be allowed to go towards the PSR.Bit of both isn’t it? The PL ultimately did prove, to the satisfaction of the tribunal at least, that they weren’t FMV.
This is where I do believe we don’t do ourselves any favours. Why at a time of the club being under such scrutiny for sponsorships, do we give the PL a chance to make these decisions? The people at the club aren’t stupid, they must know when they submit a deal to the PL for review, that they’re going to look at it unfavourably given half a chance. I don’t think it’s particularly wise on our part to push and push and push these AD deals to the absolute limit.Bit of both isn’t it?

I didn’t know pep was friends with Norris Cole.
I assume that was based on the Premier Leagues calculations. Is there a right of appeal? Or are the calculations based upon generally accepted practices. City must have some evidence of benchmarking to argue their case. Would be Interesting to compare all clubs in Europe to see where arguably the best team in Europe ranks.

For example, if a company wanted to sponsor City for £100 million and the PL decided that £50 million was the FMV, then only £50 million could be used for PSR and the other for non-footballing reasons.
However, it does pose the question of how the PL calculate FMV and whether they can block sponsors in its entirety.
The main point of City's challenge was that the PL would not share their benchmarking data from the database they had. The only people allowed to access it were the PL's Legal Advisory Group. So City were not even given a full explanation of how the PL decided what was fair value. The Judges ruled that was an unfair process.I assume that was based on the Premier Leagues calculations.

You think we lost?After taking the day to wait for people qualified to analyse this to analyse this, the idea that City won some major win and Stefan was downplaying it is clearly wrong.
Having read The Lawyer's take on it, I'm surprised he thinks it was even a "score draw" frankly.
He was quite funny when he went mainstream, then a boring ****, his recent stuff was slightly better and reached chuckling level.
But now he can fuck right off, the bitter scouse miserable bindipping shitehawk.
Shouldn’t be anywhere near the co-op. He won’t sell out anyway.
The Lawyers take on it clearly isn't impartial tho.After taking the day to wait for people qualified to analyse this to analyse this, the idea that City won some major win and Stefan was downplaying it is clearly wrong.
