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

The right is that if a club wants to play in the PL it must abide by the PL rules.

What right do I have to tell you to take your shoes off? None whatsoever

unless you want to come in my house.

Oh. Fair enough, then. It's that simple?

Nothing about "abuse of a dominant position requiring directors to foresake their Companies Acts responsibility to perform their duties for the benefit of their shareholders", or some such?

A little disappointing, but I can understand the principle, at least :)

A contract has two sides, though. What about the third party? What right does the PL have to insist that a third party, who doesn't even want to come into your house, also has to take his shoes off?

And this is exactly why club Execs shouldn't have a vote on PSR rules as it allows for a conflict of interest. The rules should be drafted by independent financial experts and take debt into consideration, instead of having the primary aim of 'unlawfully' restricting investment.

It’s never independent, there will always be someone lobbying the rule makers.

It'd be ace if Bobby was called and did the hand talking gesture to the panel.
