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

A fucking brilliant piece by Martin Samuel yet again. One that cuts through all the waffling shite coming from the premier league and the media to try and paint a rosier picture than what the facts actually say. Obviously I can't print it all here but this small section is damning.

"Unlawful, unlawful, unlawful, unfair, unfair, unreasonable, unreasonable. The seven conclusions of the arbitration panel governing Manchester City’s case against the Premier League make for sobering reading."

The first three , "Unlawful, unlawful, unlawful " should, in my opinion, mean our separate 115 case immediately collapses. We are dealing with a biased criminal cartel.

Can you post a link to the article please.

My personal favourite coverage of the Tribunal decision is from the BBC.

Nearly every other purportedly reputable outlet has not only provided a full analysis immediately as the story broke (i.e. they had it ready in advance of the decision being released to all the clubs), but they indicate that, on balance, this is a win (if not a major one) for City.

But BBC has given it the minor story treatment on the Sport and Football news pages, and it’s barebones blurb attempts to set the narrative that this was not a defeat of the PL’s APT rules and enforcement, and definitely not a victory for City.

The way that you know this is a dubious narrative is that, had it actually been a win for the PL, the story link and image would have been a massive block at the top of both the Sport and Football pages, and the immediate write up would have been an in-depth analysis of all of the ways City failed in our challenge.

PL-captured “journalism” at it’s worst.

And the BBC have just updated the article to include more “information”, all attempting to paint this as a split-decision slightly favouring the PL, and including this blurb from the league, with no “What Manchester City is saying…” section for any semblance of balance.

It is shocking but not surprising given their very anti-City, pro-PL bias of late.

One side effect of today's judgement on rulling what is and is not related third party is that Shareholder loans are now classified at Related 3rd party income.
Deep joy.
Arsenal and Spurs and Chelsea are fucked.
As will many other clubs be.
If you try and pin the tail on a donkey make sure your back side is protected first.

That's a big thing. Arsenal and Brighton mostly from what I read!

It'd explain why Brighton voted with them, and why Arsenals CEO was an arse wipe at the end of their match with us.
