Depends.I don’t know what any of that means but I’m a few hours into a red wine and thank you for the music powder and I like it.
Is it good or bad? :-)

If Peter Brough could make a living as a ventriloquist on the radio, Richard Masters could run the Premier League.Ah, the halcyon days of the wireless. Very little tv, no internet of course, but the Light Programmme on BBC was a joy. Ray’s a Laugh, Archie Andrews, Meet the Huggets, Life with the Lyons, Two way Family Favourites, and so much more. Who would believe today that a ventriloquist was a radio star?
I hate the internet.Depends.
Not really. It seems to suggest that the club will still face an uphill battle getting the renegotiated Etihad deal approved, unless our assertion that the rules are now null and void is correct. I think.
Wyness mentioned Northwards of 100-150 million on TwitterWTF! Now that is a VERY VERY good point!
City could've agreed a sponsorship deal at £20m per season above the PL's FMV, but the sponsor ended up paying £20m less per season than originally agreed. If I was the sponsor & City returned saying the PL's FMV was found to be unlawful so can you pay the balance as originally agreed, I'd be telling City 'A deal's a deal mate. I paid as per the final agreed contract, so it's not my problem fella. Go take it up with the PL'.
On this basis yes, I'd think City would have a VERY good case for compensation AND compound interest too. It could go further. Who's to say we couldn't have bid more than £90m for Declan Rice, if this sponsorship money was agreed at the original price, hence why we now have an issue replacing Rodri who's out for the season?
This FMV decision could have caused untold amounts of damage to our business!
This could be the additional litigation that Cliff was alluding to in the email he sent to the 19 PL clubs.
Is this good news???
I’d say no because it complicates matters and makes any challenge to the FMV assessment of Etihad sponsorship very difficult to win.Is this good news???
Fuck knows!
I tried reading it and nearly had a stroke!!!
The threshold for a claimant to succeed in Rule X Arbitration is essentially Wednesbury Unreasonableness. That’s a very high hurdle indeed.
