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

[skillman]

That's a very specific claim. If it"s true, his mates at liverpool must have been leaking.

‘At considerable expense’ - daft bastard, isn’t he?

If it’s true what he’s saying - which is a big ‘if’ - then having any type of win over the PL while the 115 hearing rumbles on is priceless.

Fuck ‘considerable expense’!

Bollocks to that I'm having it after the Rodri news.

Plus, believe it or not, he doesn’t know everything!

I thought the database thing was the vote that was pulled today?

I think he’s got the complete wrong end of the stick, but wtf do I know?

The database exists already. The proposed changes were just about access to it, apparently.

exactly what I was thinking - why would two of the most credible journalists about jump the gun & put their name to something if they didn't genuinely believe there was any truth to it?

Afew on here have seen a couple tweets from Stefan, & shat their pants.

True. The question is why were the proposed changes withdrawn?

- happens all the time according to an obvious PL briefing

- potentially significant City victory according to Telegraph and Times, or

- insignificant City victory according to Panja.

Who knows?

One set of journos says one thing, one thing says another, the only thing we know about the case right now is the same as what we have always known and that is that journos know fuck all.

Panja is talking out of his arse.
City have clearly won a signigucant level of victory.
You don't pull a vote to tighten the rules further if you win.

 

[wolviedinho]

If this is the reaction to city maybe winning a small victory, 115 is going to melt the internet. Can’t wait -:)

On what has been a fucker of a day personally that did make me chuckle that Jim ..thks :)

Now this is the bit that confuses me, City sued over the February changes, not the 2023 changes where they abstained ( i believe ) So did the PL change the rules straight after the February vote and publish it? or did they wait until the end of the season to change the rules so it would appear in the new rule book?
If it is the latter then at this point the PL do not need to do anything but postpone after postpone.

The rule book was amended I think it was last February
