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

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”

It's been a long time for the board fighting the sustained attack on City and for a lot of us it has been compulsive reading on here with some very insightful posts. My opinion is that the board have treaded lightly on this constant attack on the club. But beneath the velvet glove is something more solid and this is what Khaldoon hinted at, in my opinion. I also believe they have played by the book, legally and regulation wise. They identified the people targeting the club who were involved with the PL and UEFA and probably the PL people at UEFA were the ones pushing UEFA along the road to charge City. The board probably knew when they had finished at CAS the next attack would be from the PL and they were right if they thought that. The people running City are no mugs and as long ago as the first UEFA fine they knew what would happen and this is where Mr Nice Guy Khaldoon let them know the velvet glove could be taken off by saying he is prepared to spend millions on lawyers to defend future attacks on the club not just by UEFA but anyone. The gloves are now, seemingly off. As we are both singing from the same book, it seems we just interpret a small part of the information we read differently.
Come on City.

Have I not said that I’m a Newcastle United fan?
We were already hated before our takeover.
It is both funny and infuriating watching fans of other clubs on the likes of Reddit all claim they had respect for our fans, and liked us before our takeover.
Absolutely fucking bullshit, we used to get called deluded, demanding etc, with Sky, and TalkSport etc all cherry picking the wallpapers coming out of social clubs a to put on their stations and re-enforce this view.
Actually it’s ironic that the other clubs fans who were wishing we did a Leeds when we got relegated, are now the ones defending these PSR rules with the defence that it would prevent us from doing a Leeds.

We got the doing a Leeds bullshit despite the fact both of our clubs did a Leeds years before them ;)

I think when City are finished they’ll go for the people rather than the organisations. City need the premier league & its stronger with the cartel but the individuals need dealing in a way that it never happens again.

I hope City have video , pics and bugged conversations and really humiliate the Cartel clubs and the dingleberry club spuds ! I want stories of total debauchery and deviant activity, we needed to take the velvet gloves off awhile ago and show them just who, and what they had taken on .
