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

[Ducado]

So what are the practical implications?

 

[SilvaisSkyBlue]

so...who win?

The judgment states they PL have acted unlawfully, City can seek damages, not hard to work out the winner.

The PL are being at best disingenuous when they state the tribunal ruled APT is needed, City never challenged the overall basis of APT, but how it was aimed at certain clubs, one of which is City.

City only needed to prove one point in law for it to be deemed unlawful, there were seven points it failed on, again easy to work out who has been successful.

The interesting point is where it mentions loans from owners should be in the calculations, can anyone explain how that will work for certain clubs who have such debt?

Absolutely fucking comical that the PL is claiming any sort of victory when its own rules, and their application of them, has unequivocally been deemed unlawful ffs!

Their own fucking rules ffs.

One or two surprising names in there. Or perhaps not, given how they may benefit from the verdict.

 

[Rammy Blue]

It’s the FPL guy so he knows people for sure…
