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

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.
City are claiming that the company employed by the Premier League to look at the value of sponsorship deals have discriminated against the deals done with gulf companies.
 
It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s United that are the other club voting with us on this latest development
I'd be flabbergasted if the Rags are in the trench with us. They couldn't do us a favour when their Ragettes played CFC t'other week! I suspect it's NUFC.

But either way round, some shite will hit the fan, and it'll become very clear who the PL hypocrtites are!
 
City must have already been blocked from sponsorship or a renegotiation on some as we're asking for damages as a result of these new rules.
Not just blocked from any old sponsorship deal either, likely a very big one. Sounds like City have finally had enough of the Premier League arbitrarily blocking our sponsorships with their crooked rules whilst letting Arsenal, Liverpool, and United push through as many deals as they want without question.

Our club has clearly been discriminated against by the Premier League due to having Middle Eastern owners (as cited in the case). And we likely have some grounds to stand on, otherwise this information wouldn't have been leaked to the public. Curious to know who in the PL is backing us - won't be any of the red cartel or newly promoted teams, could be Chelsea, Villa, or Newcastle.
