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

[citizen_maine]

The PL can’t accept their rules were unlawful then just ignore that and say “never mind all that let’s just crack on from here and forget it happened”.

Imo there has to be sanctions for the clubs who were allowed to benefit from the unlawful rules.

Or accept that the APT rules are null and void from 2021 until the new rules are passed

That's good to hear but worrying that the others clubs believe the pl view of the rules and the lawyers

As for applying them retrospectively this is were I get confused. Are some rules applied retrospectively than all should be.

Win some clubs over by blackmail…… hmmm

So they are bribing some of the other clubs so they will vote something in that is unlawful... yeah that's the cartel way the kunts

You’d think clubs like Everton wouldn’t trust them or the premier leagues appetite to start another round of charges.

All Everton would need to say is are you seriously going to retrospectively fuck up Arse & the Dippers…..

Everton have an around 400m+ on the loans where they interest free so a bribe might work?! Is there new owners Americans?

What happens if it becomes obvious that certain clubs & the premier league had colluded in creating unlawful rules?

They've colluded on other matters, so entirely possible.

City aren't letting this go....it could run for a while yet.

Wait for the reaction when the 115 charges fail !!

But they know if they stick with City there will be no retrospective rules as the Prem will choose null & void.

Just thinking that probably each club would get independant legal advice and then choose. what action to take.
Would that advice really suggest that voting for illegal rules is their best course of action?

It really doesn't matter how the vote goes imho. It's just posturing from the cartel, sorry, the PL. Clearly it's better for the PL not to do anything that can be challenged as unlawful again (which was the point of City's recent letter), and if they vote to amend the rules and City's position is right, then they just get thrown out by the tribunal again anyway.

The dispute is between City and the PL (nothing to do with the other clubs) and I doubt the PL will gain any browny points with the tribunal by acting unilaterally no matter how the clubs vote. It carries no weight on a matter of lawfulness.
