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

I thought we could rely on Fulham too, but wow. How wrong can you be? Snakes.

But can we get 7 votes? 1 City 2 Newcastle 3 Chelsea 4 Everton 5 Forest. Can't think of any others tbh.

Villa being another.

Then they will have to put forward a vote that does get a majority, like shall we scrap APTs? Only takes a block of seven clubs standing firm.

As I said though, they will be lobbying for votes and won't put a motion forward until they have them, I imagine. They are already saying no vote next week, aren't they?

Yup. I can imagine Arsenal and Brighton voting against rules which include shareholder loans as APTs. They might only support a complete scrapping of APT rules and some other mechanism to stop excessive spending. What fun.

Khan (Fulham and Jags) will know Kroenke (Arsenal and Rams - haha) via the NFL ownership group.

You assuming Everton will still back us? Will they still given that they have the most shareholder debt.

Southampton West Ham and Fulham have no shareholder loans either so they won't be affected by the future interest payments.

Do they have a choice, by law they now have to be included going forward surely?

Yeah, never thought of that Blue. Always thought of them as a honest club.

If they pass something without shareholder loans accounted for we will instantly go back to the tribunal, who will slap them down again. Won't happen.

Would Leicester vote with City? They understand what incompetent dicks the PL are and don’t have American owners.

Didn't Leicester do the dirty on us a few seasons ago, seem to recall Pep naming them amongst others in a press conference.

 

[Stoned Rose]

It looks like an open goal to me. I will be amazed if Newcastle don't take action especially if City get significant compensation for the damage done to our sponsor deals.

Liking the cut of your jib today Bobby.
