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

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

What I don’t understand is how could you possibly judge the fairness of our new sponsorships.

No team has ever sustained this kind of success in the premier league before (6/7 titles). It’s unprecedented what we are doing right now, so there is nothing to compare it too.

Also The Premier League is watched by an unprecedented number of people around the world and the numbers are continually growing.

You can’t just compare the numbers against old sponsorship deals because nobody has ever been in this situation before.

don't you have to present bids from other sponsors within the same ballpark or did the idea just get floated in rumour?

Premier League should focus on rulebook, not appeal​

Within legal circles, word is that the Premier League will appeal against the tribunal decision that threw out its disciplinary case against Leicester City. No wonder some clubs talk privately as if the league’s hierarchy has a vendetta against its members. What is the point of this? They lost. Tighten up the rulebook so it doesn’t happen again, and move on. Instead the league may appeal on what would be the narrowest of grounds. According to its rulebook, it will have to prove the decision was reached “as a result of a perverse interpretation of the law” or that it “could not reasonably have been reached by any Commission or Appeal Board which had applied its mind properly to the facts of the case”.

In other words, the panel was a bit thick, somewhat distracted or just didn’t know how law works, which is quite the challenge to the capabilities of Sir Stanley Burnton (former Lord Justice of Appeal and a QC since 1982), Sir Maurice Kay (former Lord Justice of Appeal, vice-president of the Civil Division of the Court of Appeal, QC since 1988) and Robert Glancy KC (in practice for 40 years and, according to Legal 500, one of the leading specialists in personal injury, clinical negligence and professional negligence, winning settlements worth tens of millions). Still, the league knows best and is on a roll at the moment. Much like Southampton.

Is that headline just poorly written or is it deliberately trying to suggest that it's us against the other 19 clubs?

Gotta get the clicks in.
“Meanwhile, the Premier League’s legal battle with City over their alleged 115 breaches of financial regulations, which is not connected to the above, continues.”
It’s not connected but we thought we better mention it : )

ffs can't they just bin the financial controls off. I think everyone is sick of them now

UEFA controls will apply to the top 6 or so. And the rest have the theoretical chance to catch up. Good enough for me, but the PL insists on gilding the Lilly. I wonder why.

The media are clearly mandated to mention the 115 breaches by the PL, in order to keep Masters at the steps of the gallows for now, but in readiness for when his primary task fails.

Now the weakling sheep should be complaining about that area of wasteful spending, on their behalf of course.

You know it makes sense. Ah well, with PSR unlawful and the new anchoring being challenged, maybe that is their best bet.

Ah well Nike gear from now on

Fuck that, it's all shit

 

[surprisedbygrass]

Expensively assembled convinced a panel rules were illegal, makes it sound like the panel were uneducated laymen unfamiliar with legal process.

No , that's just the PL Board

I propose that whenever the BBC is mentioned on the forum, the poster adds at the end of the post

The BBC is an organisation which has harboured convicted child abusers, groomers and perpetrators of violence against women within its ranks for approximately half a century.
