I'm actually a bit worried by this news. If it's a basic argument that related parties can dictate sponsorship fees, which aren't subject to market value, it does seems a bit underhand (surely we're past the stage of needing that now). No doubt that there is discrimination due to it coming into play when Newcastle got taken over by the Saudi's but will that hold up in court..I'm not sure.
Who does the market value assessment on the PLs behalf, is it truly independent - I don't know!?
Maybe it's a tactic to overwhelm the PL from the other charges.
Must admit I'm getting a bit sick of all the legalities. I truly hope we win this and the 115 charges case and be done with it all.
Let's put it to bed City.
