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

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Interesting. And in their bad tempered and somewhat panicky reply to City's latest round robin the PL have never come close to suggesting City might not be involved with PL affairs next season! Surely the cartel aren't short of confidence?!

They are running out of road and will probably need Rui Pinto to extract some more emails from City’s servers to get the football world angry about.

From the Telegraph.

Telegraph Sport has previously reported how Villa’s ownership has grown increasingly sympathetic with the Abu Dhabi-owned club’s cause but a written intervention ahead the crunch vote is seen by rivals as significant.

Three arguments are understood to have been raised by Villa as the club suggests a postponement: fresh potential legal challenges, ongoing uncertainties around the tribunal’s findings and also further changes to the rule book after the introduction of the independent regulator.

The move by Villa is quite welcome, it seems clubs are becoming increasingly wary of the PL.

There is nothing to gain for the PL as far as I can see. But this is a thread for conspiracies, so here is one.

The club, in the 115 case has asked to the panel to delay judgment on the FFP breaches because, if they are right that the APT rules are null and void since inception because of the treatment of shareholder loans, then the entire FFP/PSR rulebook is null and void since 2013 for the same reason. So the allegations that the club fiddled the books to beat FFP fall completely away.

How is that one? :)

Edit: Btw, I suppose that may explain the PL's rush to implement new rules to present to the tribunal as a fait accompli and avoid the trouble.

You get people excited,
you little devil;-)

Does this conspiracy mean that in order to receive a positive outcome from the 115 case, that we must get the positive result from the APT? Otherwise...?

Otherwise we get exonerated on the irrefutable evidence. But my theory will make the reasoning shorter, so expect the verdict in December :)

Theyre run by absolute fuckers but you can never overestimate the Americans for cunning and wily ways when it comes to aggressive business advancements for profit. And I wouldn’t put it past the red cunts to try to kill the PL dead so they can push ahead with the super league with the fans on board and no legal red tape. Meanwhile angling to have our fingerprints over it so we don’t get invited to the next one on the grounds of us being the bad guys.

I’d also expect masters to get a job with them as thanks for making it happen.

I’m half way through “Venture Capatalist by Grace Blakeley” it’s designed & planned to be that way.

while i agree with you in theory, i think people really overestimate the rags and dippers popularity and underestimate the depth of hatred there is for them. if they went and formed an esl tomorrow it would be popular for a year maybe two but that would be it, the whole ethos of football and why it is so popular is that on any given day the big team might take a black eye from the little guy, remember when we were crap no day mattered as much as derby day because on that day we might just might do those fuckers who looked down on us for the rest of the season, an esl takes that away and i think would fall on its arse in a couple of years.

Bring it on, bastards.

About time. I mentioned yesterday that other clubs should be saying something.
I'm glad to see Villa have taken notice of my posts.

Yet again '
Abu Dhabi owned'.
I've yet to see any other club referenced this way, 'American owed Liverpool' for example.
Or Caymen Isle registred tramps.
