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

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.
Confidence in Nielsen is surely tarnished, as we asked them for a FMV and the PL asked them for a FMV a few years later. The PL valuation using the same methodology was much lower than the valuation we paid them to give us.

So as another poster said earlier, Nielsen will deliver whatever result their client pays for.
 
This thing is moving too fast to read everything, but has anyone made the point that City's next step, after the APT rules have been found to be unlawful, and possibly null and void since inception, for soft shareholder loans, is to arbitrate the lawfulness of the whole FFP shebang for the same reason? Imagine FFP being declared unlawful and null and void since 2013. Delicious and a huge fucking mess.

Anything wrong with that idea?

Edit: This "win" on the APT case (or score draw) could maybe become a big bargaining chip.

Puts Neilsen right in firing line. All fingers pointing at them I think.
You only have to look at the farce over the wildly differing valuations of PSG's sponsorship with Qatar Tourist Authority, when UEFA were looking at it. One valuation was €8m per annum and another was over €100m. In the end they settled at €100m (c£85m).

The mad thing is, that if a consultant came up with 2 different valuations for the same thing, surely that would set a red flag and indicate a problem with the valuation process. Yet the tribunal are saying there's nothing wrong with the process. Utter bollocks

Here is the required info, can you please give us your assessment?

Here is the required info, we think it’s unusually high, can you give us your assessment?

Can definitely get different responses depending on how the question is framed.
