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

Does anyone know how this is related to the trials?
Does anyone know what are those proposed amendments that the club claims are "unlawful"?

I'm not sure what lawful or unlawful means anymore. That said, I do know that murdering 39 people is unlawful.

I live in Durham and worked in Newcastle for 20 years. Most of Geordies I know want City relegated to none league

Yep.They can’t, or don’t want to, connect the dots.

Shakespeare was a man of wit.
But Bluemoons Shakespeare talks a load of shit.
As he was walking past Saint Paul's a woman grabbed him by the balls
She said you look a man of pluck.
And all Bluemoon says get to fuck.

You might be surprised how much talking goes on up there! 8-16 hrs, no movies, and only so much you can eat!! ;-)

And George does the flying for you.

Name calling like this in correspondence usually means its prime purpose is PR -

• "rejects in the strongest possible terms the repeated and baseless assertions"
• "does not provide a credible basis to impugn..."
• "such threats are meritless, and advanced without any attempt to articulate a credible ground on which MCFC could seek to restrain the consultation process".
• “a tendentious and inaccurate interpretation” of the minutes of a call held with clubs last month.

Banned Roan couldn't resist quoting a few words of scouse hilarity from the dippers aged shill - comedy gold:

Rick Parry expressed concern at “a whole raft of competition law cases which are impacting on the way that we run the game"."To be looking over our shoulder all of the time with challenges from clubs if they don't like rules… the game will grind to a halt unless we find a solution for that” he told BBC Sport. "I have no problem with us having to be more professional. But it's the willingness of clubs at the drop of a hat to challenge the whole system.”"You have to question how long you can function effectively while that mentality exists, and we have to find a solution to that.”

Quite right Rick, don't want anybody noticing the cartel passing a shedload of bent rules to keep your redshirt employers in the gravy for the past decade do we?

Drop of a hat?.
City warned the PL of perceived illegality of the rules months in advance. As usual, they took no notice.

Ideally you don't want a situation like the one with Qatar Tourist Authority & PSG, where. the €200m per annum sponsorship is massively out of kilter with other deals.

The corrupt hand of Leterme.

15 percent share of the tv deal for Liverpool, Everton, Arsenal, Spurs and United. 10 percent share of the tv deal for the likes of City, Chelsea and Oldham back in 1992. That sounds fair.

When that deal came up for renewal, City amazingly voted in favour of it. Why?

I reckon Simon Cliff is trying to emulate Rodri's success, by going for this year's Balon D'Law.

He's definitely smashing it out of the park at the moment.

Guided by our KC’s no doubt.

It most likely was after UEFA fined us. Though I saw it as a warning that he nor City would accept any rules that were obviously set up to hamper the progress he and the owner had mapped out for City, from a near bankrupt club, to now one of the highest earners, debt free and profitable clubs in world football. The cartel chose to ignore the warning as they think they have the power to ruin any club. The gloves are now off and there can only be one winner, whoever that is, there will be no draw.

Maybe. However, we need to understand that Khaldoon/City don’t believe we’re above the law and can do what we want (unlike United fans!) so anything we challenge - like the APT rules - is in good faith. As such, I think the comment about spending tens of millions of pounds on lawyers would be specific to something UEFA did regarding the FFP rules that the club deemed to be unfair. @Prestwich_Blue wrote a cracking article about them changing things right near the end of the very first monitoring period. I think it was entitled “How UEFA moved the goalposts to shaft Manchester City”
