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

[Gone for a Burton]

Shocking finishing mate.

Leave Erling out of this eh !!

Still pisses me off / don’t understand why if we are being charged retrospectively and the ruling is these interest free loans should of been including from the start, why aren’t the loans and interest being added retrospectively?

The real problem has been that the PL has only very recently seen the need for their rules to be checked for legality and fairness.

Let other Clubs worry about things that affect them and we will leave things alone that benefit us and react only if any changes adversely affect us.

Just my opinion.

Because they followed the PL's own rules. The PL can't allow it one day and the very next say you're in breach and we're going to punish you. There would be unending court cases and the courts would 100% find in the clubs favour. I've no idea why people are struggling with this simple concept.

But that’s not right, if these loans had been included from the start that might of affected who and how they bought players, which indirectly affects us and every other club in the league and is clearly an advantage given how much we spend and earn is scrutinised to the penny.

But the rules have been found to be illegal precisely because these loans weren’t included

Possibly this will be evaluated should we win in the compensation we will hopefully receive.

Thanks for trying.

Still struggling with how you can have a grace period to correct something that has been previously found to be unlawful, tbh, but that is my problem and it will become clear soon enough, I guess :)

Appreciate your explanations as always.

Because shareholder loans aren’t illegal. They haven’t been found to be illegal.

What’s illegal is a system of law that outlaws a whole series of APTs EXCEPT FOR shareholder loans. It’s the exclusion of shareholder loans that make the APT rules unlawful, not the loans themselves.

The meeting is going to be fun.
Masters goes before the firing squad, singing:
“I did it my way.”

Getting the spade off him is proving to be the difficult but atm.

The PL might be better off cutting their losses and throwing him to the wolves but the problem of appeasing the cabal members isn't going to be easy.

Life really is a woman at times .
