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

[Stoned Rose]

Think the biggest issue will be loan interest and will result in the rules entangling a whole bunch of clubs who will have to make some serious decisions on financing or rule changes. That is where I think this will have huge implications and more so if the rules as they are fall. Spurs have around a £billion in loans although I suspect they are all commercial , Everton were close on £500m of shareholder loans , Brighton £300 million , Arsenal you say £200m , Liverpool had £100m , Bournemouth £60m so should be interesting.

“Financial doping” I believe is the term.

There’s nothing like giving some **** a taste of their own medicine.

I didn't know Art Garfunkel was a Tarquin

Arse Carbunkle more like

As long as they do it legally there won’t be a problem, the issue is doing it legally

No doubt City will have a very beady eye on any proposed changes and will kick off again if they smell any bullshit.

West Ham, Brentford, Fulham and wolves aren’t yank owned (afaik)

No they are just fucking thick

No doubt Stone and Roan at the BBC will be desperately trying to find a way to paint this as a victory for the PL and their redshirt stooges, hence no proper analysis yet.

Why don’t they just broadcast the judges’ summary statement. It is clear and damning of the PL.

For sure you don't apply penalties to rules that weren't in place at the time.

But your accounts didn't show the interest that should have accrued on those interest free loans.
The PL, Arsenal, Brighton et al, can't just ignore the ruling, the PSR submissions will have to be amended. If that puts some clubs in historical breach of PSR then they should be sanctioned.
If not, then Forest and their lawyers will be rubbing their hands with glee!
