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

I would suspect that our sponsorship deal value with Etihad contains incentive uplift values for achievements.
ie win the league - 10 million extra, win the CL - 15 million extra.
Clearly the PL have said that's somehow not allowed, yet its clearly included in the contract as a tangible additional asset to the sponsoring company bearing a value.
How the fuck do the PL think they can determine what that value is when it's a contractual condition between two commercial entities, no matter what their relationship is? How can they introduce rules that have seniority over properly stipulated contracted consideration value?
It seems maybe, they cannot!

This. I never understood how the PL thinks it can determine what the fair value of a contract is, and then not just adjust the PSR calculation for any excess, but require the contract to either be cancelled or amended. It just seems so ridiculous.
 
Winning the CL is worth nowt to sponsors according to the PL. Unbelievable. Only City. In what World? No wonder City had had enough.


This suggest a possibly a strong case surely thought we might be arguing over principle or a minor sponsors not connected to the owner but based in UAE
 
It's strange that the PL want to block money coming into the game?

They are fighting the EFL & grassroots by refusing to hand over money whilst fighting their members to stop hem earning more money. They’ll expect TV deals to increase & question the validity of sponsorships growing for the same reasons.
