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

[domalino]

We have actually bent them over the table in court.

I suspect this happens all the time. The PL's rules gave them 7 days from Chelsea submitting their accounts to approve the Hotel sale, in the end it took them 10 months.

Just reading through the finding now in a bit more detail (I mean, what happens on the pitch is nothing compared to the excitement of these courtroom battles, eh?) and, I have to say, I can't read this any other way than we absolutely wiped the floor with them. They have to literally go back and increase value they placed on two city sponsorship deals.

There is no other way to read it. We won every major point it seems.

They've not followed their own rules. Those rules were discriminatory and were specifically applied in an unfair and discriminating way to Manchester City. They've reached competition law.

Ignore the bbc trying to get a punch in with things like city didn't win all their arguments, they're already on the canvas and the court has been completed, they just don't know it yet.

Whilst we should absolutely treat the '115' case separately, this can't hurt either. How inept have they been to suggest something so obviously in violation of the law? And this was supposed to be a refinement of the previous rules which they want to do us under. Plus, revaluing those two sponsorship deals.... They may not be relevant at all to the other case but again, if these are shown to have been regarded incorrectly by the self appointed authority, even discriminatory, then I bet the others reek of it also.

Also, to put it bluntly, they have cheated.

It's been laid out that there was a conspiracy against us. Pretty sure that's illegal

Cartel behaviour

 

[Damanino]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

eat shit Mr Masters and the red cartel, watch out, little City is printing the bill for all the naughty stuff you did.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Get in! Fuck you, you cunts!

 

[Gordyola]

so...who win?

City won the PL has had APT rules in line with international account standards City never challenge that, it was the widening definition which was introduce last Feb this is PL spin

The twats at the BBC trying to put a different spin on the decision.

We now know for certain who are enemies are - Rags, Bus Wreckers, The Arse, Spurs, Brighton and Wet Sham. Bastards the lot.

I will now look on - Chelsea, Bar Codes, Forest and the Toffees as really good guys.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

How many times are the PL going to be found to not understand or have knowingly breached their own rules?!

at least another 130 times

 

[domalino]

Fucking wonderful. That should apply to debt too, as in the rags. It's ludicrous they're allowed to operate owing so much money.

United are probably going to be a big beneficiary of this ruling. They current pay 25-40m a year on interest payments for their debt, whereas Arsenal pay 0.

 

[cheekybids]

7-0 and we didn’t even need Erling!

Made them look like Barnsley ;)
