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

[JASR]

The forum awaiting the 2nd part of the tribunal release… compensation, clarification, clear-out…

Doubt she’d be wearing swimming costume, got a vag like a blootered pheasant

Heh, hummm!
You know the rules.....

I think it’s more about obtaining an unfair advantage through loans that are significantly below the market rate, not shareholder loans per se……simple solution is to revalue those loans at the appropriate market rate and apply them retroactively…….but you would quickly see a number of clubs fail FFP …ooops.

And in some cases like Everton’s, they would never have got a loan on anywhere like favourable terms due to their financial situation….so what do you do in that/those type of cases….a proper premier league pickle….lol

If we take this back to the very basics, what is the problem with an owner investing their money into their company? This is the elementary problem of FFP/PSR.

Cutting to the chase, FFP & PSR were evidently brought in to stop the wealthier Manchester City from competing with the cartel, whilst allowing the cartel to keep spending their way to success.

City have found ways around this obvious con, hence why UEFA & the PL keep moving the goal posts & closing loopholes, which has been as effective as closing the stable doors after the knackered old donkey has bolted for the hills.

This is why I rarely get into the weeds of this farce with opposition fans. It's like holding an argument over whether Santa Claus will be wearing red or sky blue this Christmas? Santa doesn't exist, which renders the opinions moot.

The only reason FFP/PSR/APT are still a thing 15 years after their introduction is because UEFA & the PL are judge, jury & executioner where football is concerned. The two times external arbiters have ruled on their judgements, they've found against them, but as long as UEFA & the PL are allowed to self regulate, they'll continue to concoct further cunning plans to stymie Manchester City.

It's like we're the birds in a long running series of the Wile E Cayote or Catch The Pigeon.

That's a great post and amusing analogy.

But surely the PL will need to adjust these rules and make them apply retroactively …..or have some type of amnesty which is also retroactive…

The PL could concede the case and drop the charges, or some of the charges, if they didn't want to lose (more) face over this. They might be looking for a way out of the sorry mess they have created. Who knows what they are thinking, or what they are being advised. Their lawyers will no doubt advise them to continue the case to see if they can land one or two of their charges.

The usual client journalists are more concerned with clocks and making money over being factual.

If City start whacking out the legal threats against them they'll go full Scouser.
