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

Good post but you have not stated clearly whether it was raining or not.

I'm not sticking my head out of the window, it might be raining!

Maybe Masters is on some sort of Brewsters Millions trip funded by Elon Musk.

If he destroys the Premier League he gets 10% of Tesla.

You spelt ‘sack’ wrong

Fair point.

Trying to control my rage Mr K style with polite language.

I am so glad the careful and finally firm methods City are using is simply dismantling the media circus bribed by the red cartel.

Never thought I would say it but Mr Pannick is worth his fees.

So the PL are a bunch of lying incompetent cunts.
Well I for one am shocked.

Didn't the "judges" also say they found the omission of interest free loans from the owner not only to be intentional but also to be "akin to cartel price fixing". Acting is as a cartel is about as serious a violation of competition law as there is. To my mind the only course of action open to the PL is to end all the bluster, all the defiance, to ditch the cartel and begin serious negotiation with City, the other PL clubs and the tribunal to figure out some cost control measures which are fair to all and, above all else, lawful. If this is the first step it is to be commended, but there's a long way to go and much work to be done. It may mean that Masters has to have the balls to tel the cartel that they're on their own, if they can't compete that's tough but football is under a new, fairer regime. And there could be the problem of UEFA and there regulations which may/do have elements which are unlawful, but the PL has to conform to our law.

The Times are leading the way on this story. As they done pretty much since day one. But they seem to have changed their editorial position to be more sympathetic to City. Perhaps City's comms team are being more proactive. It's just speculation from me but I wonder if The Times team know what is in the emails between some Club Directors and the PL. Tolmie has suggested those emails are damaging to the PL's 115 case. Perhaps the Times (and the Mail) want to end up on the winning side. It certainly looks like they are going after Masters.

We may not like it but they are following the story and initially that pointed to us but the light has revealed the juicier story for them and it’s going after the cartel they now can see.

Just checked the X men aired on here as respectable advocates of the City Win Nowt club
but both strangely silent for the last few days and not a flicker about today's PL implosion

PL legals better find some new friends!

 

[Manc in London]

Call it aggressive but really all we are doing is insisting that their rules conform to UK law which is in their rules.
If they fail to check new rulings in future they are aware of the consequences so are either being deliberately provocative or acting under orders from the red cartel who may have a different agenda.

Yes, we won but the letter that followed was a bit more than just insisting they confirm. It was an attack on the PL.

 

[Roachy]

I can’t really work out how that happened if the PL knew at the time it was going back to the tribunal. There’s no rational reason for them to do it.

Maybe an attempt to save face, and then try and bullshit their way out of whatever came further down the line. Masters' looking beyond incompetent now.

I wonder how widely City’s comments about the PL statement being ‘misleading’ and ‘inaccurate’ (which it plainly was) will be reported…

Not very
