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

About right.

The absolute meltdown from the usual suspects is brilliant.

My favourite so far is Ronay seemingly admitting he doesn't understand the phrase 'tyranny of the majority'.

Further proof that he is a disingenuous cretin

We can't, you know we can't, and yet you blame the club for not doing it...

Of course the club can make a statement.

Everton and Forrest did and it shaped public opinion against their charges and punishments.

The PL were seen as the bad guys.

There is a wiff of a PL leak to the Times about this . Rabin on X suggests this and I tend to agree with him . Something not quite right about it all ?

I was thinking scousers. Big news out about their sponsors supporting terrorists in the morning, this in the afternoon.

When has football EVER been a level playing field? Silly ****

Stupid rag **** wants to ask which clubs were the driving force behind:
The ending of shared gate receipts in the early 80’s
The Heathrow agreement sharing TV money in the mid 80’s
The first threats to break away from the Football League
The formation of the Premier League
Formation of the all powerful G14
The expanded Champions League
UEFA FFP
PSR
Project Big Picture
Behind closed door meetings to form the European Super League

No doubt I’ve missed plenty, but you can guarantee if there’s any ‘reform’ proposed by United or Liverpool, it will be to restrict competition and benefit themselves.

Two ghastly cheeks of the same arse.

We have probably signed some sort of agreement with the PL not to speak publically. The story has probably leaked from a rival club rather than the PL. Both sides have to be very cautious now about anything they say ahead of court. A chunk of our case revolves around the lack of integrity shown by rival clubs' with their statements. We must not do what we have accused them of doing. We can do our talking in court no matter how frustrating that is for fans and for all our sponsors.

We've seen with Everton and Forrest that they released statements and they shaped public opinion against the PL and us!!

They can just state facts.

But the club stays silent and the dickheads in the media then fill the void with a load of shit which every other fan believes.

Citys image damaged further in this country.

Is "legal action" allowed as a term?
GDM has built a fascinating career on pissing on our Hollywood film and LA Law understanding of the profession.
He was at it again earlier and I'd hate to add a further faux pas

Not sure we could even make Hitler, Stalin or fucking Pol Pot be seen as bad guys compared to us.

Awwwwww, i get misty eyed when i think back to those bygone summers, where all we had to talk about was which players we might be buying.
I miss those days...

The social media morons are misreading this as City wanting to have an unfair financial advantage, when in fact, we don’t want be unfairly penalised. This is what the fools don’t get, why should we roll over and allow four clubs to be in cahoots with football’s governing bodies to restrict reasonable sponsorship that would be allowed at other clubs? They’re trying to tie weights to our feet and this is most likely linked to the ‘115’ as if we receive a footballing punishment, they want to make it as hard as possible for us ever to rise to the same position of power. It’s clear and orchestrated and all of it is linked in my eyes.

Corrupt to the core, bring on the independent regulator.

Those social media morons believe we cooked the books from day 1 and don't seem to recognise the fact we have won the fucking lot and dominated football over the past 7 years hence make a lot more in prize money, have a huge global fan base and can attract substantial revenue.

They don't seem to have an issue with Arsenal or Spurs earning a fuck load when they have won fuck all.

No point wasting time on those cunts.
