16-4 is a right hammering.
Its not just the cartel clubs that hate us, its the vast majority

The Red Shirt Cartel clubs, and Spurs, Brighton, Chelsea, and West Ham (7) were never going to vote with City. Everton (1) weren’t going to vote with City because of their loans from the owner to the club. Think there was another club with the same issue. City, Villa, Newcastle and Forest voted against (4) It will be interesting to see how the other 8 clubs voted, against or abstained.

We know they voted as it was 16-4

To be clear because I'm not !

The hearing said the owner loans are unlawful and clubs must pay the going interest rates. These are to be included in ffp or what ever it's called now.

But the pl has just voted to keep the illegal rules in place and ignore the hearing findings.

But the hearing hasn't realised it's findings yet !

I am right ?

Not if the 16 have got it wrong. Then it just proves the vast majority are run by idiots. But we knew that already.

The real battle is still coming, I think.

We were always struggling to get 7 to stop this, disappointed with non US owned Leicester & Wolves but no real surprise Chavs & Everton voted with their buddies.

Until the new rules are published we don't have any idea as to their legality, and even then it will be a matter of opinion the only way they are tested is for the tribunal to give their ruling Crucially will be how the PL are going to treat owner loans with respect to the interest charged. Crucially though will be when the calculation comes into effect, with this be immediately, with a grace period or retrospectively? I would expect that the PL have introduced a grace period and if so City will challenge it as the tribunal deemed the APT rules unlawful

Once the amended rule details are published then our legal beavers can get to work

The Premier League must think everyone is stupid if they are still pretending this maintains a competitive balance, when they are the ones who will look foolish when this is rules UNLAWFUL again.

That's weird. So the club was bluffing with their letters to the PL and the clubs? I may be wrong, but I am not so sure Mansour and Khaldoon try to bluff their way out of situations ...

You might be right. But who is it that ultimately looks bad. The organisation that keeps acting illegally, or the member who challenges that illegality and keeps winning. Even the cartel know the truth of the situation. And all the time the independent regulator lobby looks on.

My personal view is that the PL are playing for time, hoping we are found guilty of enough charges to kick us out, hence problem solved. If the commission is genuinely independent that simply won’t happen, but the PL don’t appear to have a plan B.

Up to recently the PL have simply not needed a plan B being able to buy off support for their illegal rules. Things are far more difficult now but they feel they can react how they have always done.

Does this mean that we can now get billions pumped into City from our boss..........if he wanted to
