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

I too would like to know that. IE are the rules backdated? I mean if so thats just criminal. But is it true.

No.

They can't go back three years. It's not in the rules.

Can they do it, charge us for it knowing that eventually we will overturn it on a ‘technicality’ that it’s not in the rules.

And top four play off to be title champions! So finish fourth and could win the title

I think you mean top 8 surely.

In fact I’m amazed that they haven’t pushed for a play off like in rugby league, so they can downgrade the champions and have an extra money spinning Premiership Play-off title, and if City made it to the final they’d make it the day before the CL Final just in case.

I don't think even the PL are that stupid.

Iirc, the rules are applied to any new sponsorships, or to any renewal of an existing sponsorship.

I think it's more likely that Etihad don't fancy a dispute with the PL when they are thinking about listing. It wouldn't look good if it is publicised they are paying more than they should for sponsorship because of "associated" reasons.

Samuel's piece.

Ooooooo .... Just read it. "Oxbridge set". Nice slap :)

 

[FanchesterCity]

Sanity from Samuel. Sadly, such succinct sensibility is so seldom seen.

Following Samuel's piece, how do we allocate Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, Goosey Loosey, Turkey Lurkey, Ducky Lucky, Chicken Licken to these journalists: Henry Winter, Barney Ronay, Jonathan Liew, Jonathan Wilson, Ian Herbert and Oliver Holt?

Did I sense a touch of disdain from Samuel to these "Oxbridge set" journalists?

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Ive not read the new rules anywhere but heard it reported the PL can revise an existing deal going back 3 years.

If the APT rules find a particular sponsorship overvalued I suspect the 3 year provision will be the PSR calculation and they will deduct the balance from their FMV estimate x 3 for the coming estimation period.

No wonder City said "I don't fucking think so".
That and revealing commercialy sensitive runner up bids to your direct competitors, It's fucking ridiculous and a blatent stitch up.

Let's see if this IC has got any balls at all or they are more red shirt lackeys.

It’s more a media and social media thing than a real life thing.

These two things are often confused.
Since the title win, I’ve been stopped on the street in Yerkershire, twice. Once by a blue and then by a pair of boys about ten years old wanting to know about City. Nobody has complained. Of course you’ll get that at a game but, surprise surprise, that’s not real life either. It’s theatre.
