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

[mattcity5]

One can assume any member can put forward a rule change as Wolves have regarding the removal of VAR

This is on the Premier League website:




Is there anywhere that these meeting minutes are published? I would have thought that these would be made public, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Never mind all this talk of good guys and bad guys, its very hard to imagine that we're totally innocent of everything, to be perfectly honest.

So what's the end game here, if we do win the case and take the Premier League down as many City fans are calling

Why can’t we be? We were at CAS.

If city lose both cases and they relegate us then can we not refuse to play in the EFL and up sticks and join the super leauge with Madrid and Barca??

I could imagine a scenario where we join the super leauge leaving the red tops behind and after a few years they see it’s a better leauge and then regret not joking us and want to try and muscle into are super leauge lol,

I think its speculative but ask yourself this was there any outcry about associated parties when the rags signed a deal with chevrolet which was so ridiculous that it got the person that signed it off sacked, american company , american owners.

Wasn’t the sacking just because Chevrolet bosses thought it wasn’t a worthwhile business decision? Nothing to do with United

I prefer to call him Chelsea Jim……..the rags I know don’t like it

Scruffy Chelsea Jim?

Must have been if it's one of the charges
I'm not sure
Yes
Problem is we were charged for it.

That's no problem.

It wasn't. FFP came in in June 2011, and the payments to Mancini were made at least in the year to 2012 and possibly in the following season as well.

I thought that it applied to his contract in general meaning that the first one or two payments must have been prior to FFP.

 

[ono]

Why would we need to do that?

We’re talking relatively tiny amounts of money.

Probably a tax break for Mancini.

Who in the PL decides what is an associated party? Do you know if it is a panel and who makes up that panel?

With regards to you points 6 and 7, is there any evidence that they have or can discriminate against Gulf sates compared to the US ? Or is that just your speculation? Thanks

City have hinted about discrimination before and mentioned a disparaging remark about gulf based/owned clubs by a rival exec. We shall see. As Stefan said, asking for damages means something has happened to our detriment. Can City demonstrate that others have not been so targeted but have acted exactly the same? Eg, American sponsors of US owned clubs not asked to justify the sponsorship fee. What grounds did the PL give for changing our income, if that is what is alleged?
