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

[Stockton Heath Blue]

The way APT rules are unlawful due to shareholder loan exclusions, would the same apply to PSR and FFP and all those historic rules will be null and void ? We might not have challenged those rules in the APT case but this sets the precedent i guess and City can challenge the unlawful nature of PSR and FFP as well (unless they did include the shareholder loans provisions in PSR & FFP?).

I was under the impression that UEFA do apply a FMV to shareholder loans for their FFP calculations but don't shoot me if I'm wrong

I wonder what they will say…….I hope their legal advice is to drop the rule.

It's a bit more complex than that. To make APT lawful they'll have to include director loans & apply the amended rules retrospectively. Obviously, this has several serious implications.

If they throw the whole lot out, it has serious implications for clubs affected by the unlawful APT rule.

From what I can see, the PL are fucked if they do, & fucked if they don't. They've only got themselves to blame...

Yes, even if they drop the rule, there will still be actions for damages.

The best laid plans & all that! :-)

That meeting will just be a vote to disallow the Stones goal.

 

[Nellies left peg]

Hopefully will be to discuss the implications of imminent points deductions for the dippers and Arsenal for their interest free loans that were deemed to be not lawful

All in a futile attempt to stymie City, Newcastle and any others who dare to challenge an ill thought out and contrived status quo.

Expect to see the media go into overdrive then.
