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

Sorry if I’ve missed something, but if 10-12 clubs are supporting the PL defence does that mean that City have support (or at least neutrality) of the other 7-9 ? From what I’ve seen recently the days of City being 1 v 19 are long gone.

Imagine if United were one of the 7-9!

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
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.

That duopoly needs ending. it's why they're fighting dirty. Everton docked 10 points for not towing the line? Complaint by City filed 16th Feb, Everton docked points 26th Feb.

daily fail comments gone into overdrive!

Here we go! I get the feeling that this is the start of our counter attack and there will be more to come. The PL will not know what's hit them.

The football season is over, what do you expect?

Does it matter if the season is over or not? If anything, we should have our minds off football for three months yet we’re going to be thinking about legal battles.

I think some of the stuff about this being an existential battle between City and the PL is a bit hyperbolic. We’re just challenging the change to the APT rules that was introduced in February, as it was reported that we would do at the time. If we’re successful then the rules will revert to how they were prior to Feb 24. If we lose then we’ll just have to work within the new guidelines.

Yep it just war games before the main event! It’s a smart play

Sam Walace eh.
Can't even get the facts right.

He’s terrible. On the positive side, he always seems like he has scant understanding of any issue, so I don’t think it’s necessarily bias as opposed to him being clueless.

 

[Joe Donachie]

the fact we are in a political general election for the next 6 weeks where no new legislation can be brought in including the premier leauge says a lot about the timing of this for me

Just a thought on the definition of sponsorship. Seemingly these new PL rules mean you must be getting a good return on your sponsorship. However isn’t the idea of sponsoring someone or something a kind of charitable act in which your intention is to give a helping hand to those you choose to sponsor. Almost an altruistic act. It’s always seemed strange to have to justify why you sponsor someone when surely it can be for their good and the consequences of that can reflect back on you.

Don't come on here then.

You have to come on here to keep up with the legal aspects of City’s side of the story. Sucks you in.
