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

It won't be retrospectively applied. Any changes would apply moving forward.

Bit of wishful thinking?

Did we actually lose anything significant in this ruling? The PL are spinning it that they won most of it, I was reading it that City won the most meaningful parts of the case?

BBC news on radio in Car “City lose against EPL”

Sky sports ticker tape City claim victory

And people can’t see how biased towards the istry clubs and against ours BBC are

Mind boggling

Did they actually say that on BBC radio?

If so, that is a new low, even for the BBC.

That could really fuck up Brighton so we’ll see how the Brighton supporting finance guy reports it. He’s been disingenuous throughout.

Good sick of hearing about them & their owner. I assume as he has won big he has also lost big too so hopefully today’s findings won’t be too much of a shock for him.
£373m loan at todays rates IF their account's could justify it would be £59/60m per year on their P&L
American Express oh no they’ve fucked off already

I'm pretty sure whatever rules they bring in they will be "lawful". The PL can't afford another defeat like this one.

Yeah my point is I’m not sure they’ll be able to agree them, so the answer to that might be they struggle to bring in any at all.

Please tell me the rags have a MASSIVE amount of shareholder loans

To be honest this probavly suits the scruffy yonner, Ineos has several offshoot companies he could realistically use to pump money into the club.

Not that the cheap **** will.

 

[burning blue soul]

Reading the BBC summary of it you'd think we lost.

The cowards haven't opened the comments section, either.

Yes they did on BBC Manc

There's a huge opportunity here for City to show the Premier League and our rivals up for what they are.

I would like to see a bold statement, to publicly acknowledge the findings and state that although we are entitled to damages, we will not be pursuing them. Advise that our only aim was to ensure a level playing field for all and suggest that we forego damages in the hope that these funds are reinvested into the grassroots level of the game.

Bollocks. Take them for every penny then invest it into the club.
