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

[red 2 hats]

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.

Fuck that, take them for at least £300 million for reputational damage, the least they can do is pay for our new stand and hotel complex.

Surely Masters has to resign on the back of this.

Don't hold your breath. Masters has about as much shame as a Tory politician.

Bold statement? Yes. No claim for damages? No

He’s ploughing through the 164 pages, give him a chance! (Though he’s posted a few snippets on X - Mr Herbert (who he?) seems to have almost perjured themselves).

on 9320 pod tomo as well.

I know it has been posted in the thread, but I just wanted to give it another direct link to the article (rather than the archive link) so that clicks and engagement could be driven to Samuel’s excellent content for those with access.

These outlets only really care about what content drives the most ad revenue and so we should be very selective about which links we share. But I think, even if it gives The Times some revenue they could use to beat City with later, this is content that should be supported and amplified by blues.

Seismic verdict for football that leaves financial rules in tatters​

The Premier League overplayed its hand and now the whole concept of PSR is in the bin. Man City’s legal victory could have huge consequences for some clubs​

It’s fucking hilarious watching these people who are barely qualified to tweet about football flailing around in a pitiful attempt to pontificate about matters of law that they plainly don’t understand.

Mate they would barely understand the word pontificate never mind complex financial and legal machinations.

Has anyone checked in on Mark Goldbridge since this news broke? Wouldn’t surprise me if he’s found swinging from a tree in the Sherwood Forest
