I thought more would have been made about the comments at gulf states. It clearly is racist

"Failed" in these things doesn't mean untrue, just unproven. Hard to prove that, short of an email stating 'we must stop these towel heads'...

Does this mean we can now renegotiate sponsorship deals with Etihad and others? Hopefully high enough to blow Liverpool and Arses away in the January transfer window.

So what are the practical implications?

Just going back before 2021 rules where sponsor are still have to be fair value you can't have Etihad sponsoring us for 200m a year!

The bigger one is the loans from owner being 0% it got to be fair value where normal would be around 5%

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?

Martin Samuels has the 'independent' take on it that castigates the PL, those clubs that supported it and gave evidence on behalf of the PL. His article fits the City statement like a glove.

Arsenal will be pooing their knickers.

So would that now be 20 million a year for PSR? thats 60 million over a 3 year period?

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

Clubs trying to get around the rules using shareholder loans should be punished. Relegation a potential punishment.

You sure, or just more tarquin wishful thinking? I would have thought that rules which have found to be illegal would definitely require retrospective correction and compensation
