Why do I get the feeling that the Times has decided to release this biased piece to deflect from Liverpool & Standard Chartered
the only thing he really touches on is the fact that since february, the PL's legal team have had to shift their focus from the 115 charges case to this one.
'clearly a tactic' the source said.
Isn't it more likely that they are challenging this:City will attempt to end the league’s Associated Party Transaction (APT) rules, which they claim are unlawful, and seek damages from the Premier League.
Introduced in December 2021 in the wake of the Saudi-led takeover of Newcastle United, the rules are designed to maintain the competitiveness of the Premier League by preventing clubs from inflating commercial deals with companies linked to their owners. The rules dictate that such transactions have to be independently assessed to be of “fair market value” (FMV).
The competing bids bollocks?Under the new regulations, clubs would be obligated to demonstrate multiple offers of equivalent value.
This is confusing, City's deals were proven to be within FMV years ago.
