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

Puts Neilsen right in firing line. All fingers pointing at them I think.

It strikes me that there's an awful lot of "discretion" within the parameters of "reasonableness" for anyone who was minded to to mark down the FMV of one club whilst marking up the FMV of another. The lack of transparency is alarming.

Not the biggest 365 fan these days it's become a click bait site. However you do realise that's not an article its a 'letter' from Dave a liverpool fan.The letter underneath is from a city fan giving our side.

“Not the biggest fan”!! It’s an appalling pro red shite, site sorry

Gets more complicated every time I look at this thread

To summarize:

1) Cunts tried to stack the deck using language they thought would fuck off naysayers.

2) City weren’t having it and said, “Bollocks!”

3) Judges thought it was mostly bollocks.

4) Cunts have shit a brick.

5) Cunts have got to decide what to do to fix their cock up without it looking too twatty.

SKY might feed you a different version, but that’ll be bollocks, too!

I’m struggling to find anything online relating to Rule X and I’m slightly confused by the presence of references to Rule X.3.2 and Rule X.5.2 in the tweet

Am I missing something deeply legal? Isn't it just this?

They're still bitter about Barry, Delph and Milner too. Can't really blame them though as we do seem to have a habit of signing their best players.

Good point, let’s go and get Duran in the January window. He may as well be Haaland’s back up as Watkins, and imagine what Pep could do with him

Better still, we do a deal with 6 other clubs, including Villa, to vote with us for twelve months until all this shit is over, Masters is history and his replacement process is regulated by the IR and, in return, we let them have first refusal on our academy talent at "favourable" prices. Time to turn the tables on the failing cartel clubs.

As a side note, what happened to Chelsea’s £1.3 Bn owner funding, did that just go away?

 

[Cobwebcat]

It sounds impossible for PL to get it sorted because the clubs that receive the interest free loans are not going to vote to include them in APT rules - and if the PL don’t get this agreed they’re back to using rules that the tribunal deemed unlawful!

Stalemate.

Surely the only resolution is to discard APT rules which will save clubs like Arsenal from failing PSR but will enable us to proceed with better sponsorship deals? Also - as far as the PL are concerned - this runs the risk of a compensation claim from City

An amateur view of course & far more complex in reality

The problem with forever changing complex rules is that they’re easily challenged as we have seen.

The PL have gone so far down the wrong road they can’t turn around but it’s a dead end. Whatever they do now someone will challenge it. Masters is finished for a start and that’s just the beginning.

Rule makers have to be independent and not put the rules up to be voted on by clubs with vested interests.

Who the fuck writes this shit

I managed to find a picture of the lead writer at Football365

 

[SilverFox2]

Yep. Was ready to give an upbeat review of what the PL was going to do, ready for all the frothers to use in their positive broadcasts of the PL.

Now, shat his pants as his legal team tell him the realities of his/the PLs position.

Also unlikely to be him that gives the PL version of why their sponsorship costs so much.
