I’m 22 pages in and you are the first to mention this. It seems like a legitimate argument. I can imagine that if City overwhelm the PL with a legitimate legal action it will exhaust their capability to prove the 115 charges against us…

Everton and Forest had nothing to lose because they admitted guilt. I agree the club has been very poor and too reactive on the PR side but now is the time to hang fire because we cant risk losing the court case which will be decided by an independent judge whatever the tabloid press say. We will have to go on the front foot when we have won both cases. We can't say anything other than a holding statement at present. We can't give their lawyers any ammunition at this stage.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.

I've been on the front line all evening fiercely defending the club and attacking our opponents. Racked up more than 50 comments on the daily mail so far.
Everyone has to play their part in this battle.

Now the Masters decision to go to The Emirates on the final day makes more sense. This can’t have been a surprise.
I m pretty sure we have another attack lined up if we are cleared of the PL charges.
This is more a counter move.
The attack was the introduction of the associated party rules.

From The Times article today....I’m 22 pages in and you are the first to mention this. It seems like a legitimate argument. I can imagine that if City overwhelm the PL with a legitimate legal action it will exhaust their capability to prove the 115 charges against us…
"They (City) also say that the Premier League, as an organisation, is a direct competitor for sponsorship and therefore claim they have a conflict of interest."

Who had heard of Etihad prior to them sponsoring City, think they had a Tiger Moth and two Dakota's now they're one of the World's most well known and successful airlines be hard to argue they haven't had full value for their involvement with City.i have been having fun on twitter with this argument
If our sponsorship deals have been inflated, then haven't they done well out of them. They have sponsored a team that has won the treble, achieved 100 points, won 4 PL TITLES in a row and done the domestic treble, signed marketable superstars and are a global brand. For sponsors that is a win win scenario. They get to associate themselves with success.
Other teams sponsors will have put lots of money into sponsorship deals and seen the team they have sponsored finish mid table with a leaky roof, a crap manager whilst being millions in debt. These sponsors associate themselves with mediocrity and decay.
