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

[Prophet of Doom]

I disagree. She mentions financial controls to keep the PL competitive, but where was her concern when ManUre & Chelsea spent over a decade divvying up PL titles between them?

If anything, she's inadvertently spilled the beans. Wasn't FFP & PSR meant to control rising debt in football to stop another Portsmouth from happening? Where is her concern over debt?

Nah, her concern is stopping other clubs from investing in their squads so the Hammers don't get left behind & have to start looking over their shoulders at relegation. This is Brady wanting to drag everyone down to her level, rather than investing so WHU improve to a level where they can compete for the PL title & CL places. This is the dream for all fans of PL teams, not just annual PL survival.

Think about what she's actually saying. It's not fair if clubs like City have ambitions & put their owners money where their ambitions lie, run their clubs professionally & reap the rewards. How dare City leave WHU behind!

No wonder most Hammers fans can't stand her. Just imagine if she took over from Khaldoon & her plan for City going forward was Gollum as manager & PL survival every season? That's the level she wants everyone in the PL to be at so it's "fair".

Nail on the head. For West Ham read Fulham Brighton Brentford etc etc. Mid table outfits that don’t give a fig about anything that has gone before.

Their only concern is stopping ambitious teams overtaking them. As long as they are a frozen in ambitionless mid table mediocrity lapping up the PL gravy train money with no concerns of relegation that’s all that matters to Brady and co.

Rules that ensure the promoted teams and certain to go back down is perfect for them.

They ain’t bothered about going further up the league so allow the cartel to set the rule which helps them stay mid table.

No fan of Panja but that's a bit of a cheap shot bearing in mind @slbsn himself was saying the judgment was a score draw or a slight City win until recently.

Have to own up when you get something wrong. I do it all the time :)

The irony that Panja took time to criticise Stefan for passing comment on another lawyer, at the same time he was questioning the integrity of his peer Martin Samuel.

This would appear to be the logical explantion as to why they vote with the cartel .

Accepting their limitations whilst enjoying the financial benefits being in the PL brings.

woah woah woah, lets not be hasty, there is many ways to make cheese on toast, what cheese, what bread, butter or no butter, do you mix cheeses, worcestershire or none, pan fry or under the grill, this is a far more complex argument than a simple apt transaction ;)

Who the fuck make cheese on toast with no butter!!!!!!……

Anyone who fries or grills cheese is a Bumbaclart.

Lobbying is ok, provided the regulator has no skin in the game.

But any potential regulator would need experience of football at the highest level and is therefore likely to have skin in the game.

City are paying more than you have calculated
From a Foi request

The following table details the basic rent paid by MCFC for the most recent financial year, Apr 14 – Mar 15.

View attachment 134906

On the 250 year rental income, previous years have been less, and have been negotiated up, if that rental figure remained the same over the remainder of the 250 year rental income, that would be over £1bill the council gets off City. Maybe there will come a point in the future when the club decides it’s want to by the stadium for substantially less than £1bill it will have to pay out in rent to the council?
