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

[SebastianBlue]

The thing is the judgement was given 2 weeks ago and city where happy for it to be published but it's taken the Premier league 2 weeks to come out with that wank statement...

Yes, this will get lost in the hack articles, league spin, and partisan point scoring.

This was such a win for City that they likely wanted the full decision to be immediately released to the other 19 clubs (and thus the public, as we all know how these things work these days), but the PL wanted to delay the disclosure so they could formulate some sort of plan to frame the decision as not actually a rebuke of their unlawful, unfair, and incompetent actions. And to avoid the verdict having more of an impact on the 115 charges case ongoing.

And they still managed to cock that up.

That is how desperate, corrupt, and especially incompetent they are.

Thanks. This the main Times story but Samuel has also done a commentary piece. Could you post this too, ta.

Sorry, don't subscribe to The Times, pal.
Maybe @freshie can help you.

I know it's sport - but having watched 30 minutes about this on Sky - wow, how low-brow and vacuous can presenters and "experts" be?

Tim Lewis at Arsenal is going to be pulling his hair out now.

BBC putting a weird spin on the decisions. Sky saying " nothing to see here. Move along." Such outrageous bias against City.

Jordan will have to ask his puppet master Levy what the upshot is before commenting. **** of a human.

I suspect Jordan will call in sick tomorrow.

So... when do we get reparations?

It will make a huge difference if I'm reading it correctly. Arsenal and a fair few other clubs with zero interest shareholder loans will fail whatever form of ffp we're now operating with. That means a possible points deduction and fine, not to mention going into the red. So basically fucked.

Yeah but it isn't retrospectively applied. So they'll have to factor in an extra £20m for the loans or so however in reality what you'll see is a massive Walmart sponsorship deal at whatever value the Kroenkes can get away with so I don't think it affects Arsenal in reality as that will just replace the shareholder loans. It's the same money basically.

Smaller clubs without super wealthy owners who own other massive companies may feel it more though.
