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

The fast bowler?

[Keeper!]

Problem is that this is all about some vague notion of associated parties, we think specifically designed by the red tops to handicap our sponsorship revenue, not related parties

Restriction of trade

 

[nmc]

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.

I think this is part of the Clubs case when they quote the PLs sponsorships they want to contrast and compare the process for City vs other PL clubs but also the process for the PL and the FA to show a two tier system based upon geography/ de facto race.

Sitting on the fence, if we were to lose this our reputation is utterly destroyed.

Total bollocks.

What reputation? We haven't got one thanks to the Premier League, Masters and the British media and don't forget the cranks on social media.

Whatever happens the dye has already been cast.

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Up there with the Bosman ruling if City pull this one off then?

 

[East Level 2]

Why should he?

Would you in his position?

Yes as I have a sense of civic duty.

 

[nmc]

If she could corroborate what we are thinking this would be damning.
I'm hesitant as to the existence of any smoking gun but we'll soon know

I doubt City have a smoking gun but I’d bet we have some vile comments on record that’ll take a few high profile individuals down that might be enough to stop the PL in its tracks. Got to hope we can take out Gill and Levy.

I wouldn't worry about having a reputation In a league where the dippers and the rags are portrayed as Paul and Barnabas.

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

Our chips would appear to be all in on this...maybe black not red though..
We'll see..
