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

[cheekybids]

They are trying a pincher movement on us, trying to find something that will stick , pity for them that we have the best chairman anywhere in the world and the best legal team , they will regret going to war with us that i am sure

I thought they’d have learnt years ago.

So this must mean that America owned clubs can't have America sponsors like say an American car company

That would make sense, but the clear implication I got from the podcast was that the AP rules were being used to target certain clubs and countries ? Pretty blatant discrimination if that is correct.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

If that's correct, that's got to be unlawful

I have to agree, it's extremely blatant. And if City have any proof then the PL are going to lose this hands down.

If this is seriously the issue, then surely there's zero chance we're losing this.

It cant stand up to scrutiny in anything other than a kangaroo court surely

 

[Bluearmy]

Mandatory listening for fans currently frothing at the mouth that we're about to turn the PL into a completely lawless wild west. Thanks for sharing.

It already was

Backdated 3 years…. Fuck me & hacks have read this & made out City are in the wrong PMSL.

FFS if that's true were on a roll, the courts can't allow that.

City saving football since 1880, istory la

Meanwhile, the Premier League introduces new rules to distort the market...

Premier League: Clubs vote to trial new spending cap system

Premier League clubs have voted to bring in a new spending cap system on a trial basis for the 2024-25 season.

www.bbc.co.uk

"Premier League clubs have agreed to trial an alternative financial system which operates like a spending cap in the 2024-25 season.

The Squad Cost Rules (SCR) and Top to Bottom Anchoring Rules (TBA) will operate alongside the existing Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) on a "non-binding basis".

Teams will be allowed to spend no more than 85% of their total revenues on squads under the new system.

Meanwhile, the TBA is an anchoring model based on the earnings of the bottom club."

The exact rules to be determined once the EPL have found a way for City to have breached them, while certain other clubs haven't.

But it will help our alleged non cooperation charges, the PL can't keep anything secret

Absobloodylutely

Two very mild comments ( including “City bingo”) by me challenging Syed and Slot have been removed as they “ violate their policy” These media shills can dish it out but can’t take it.

 

[urban genie]

Still is, but these days the chat over a pint is about accounting standards and English commercial law.

All very boring though, better leave that shit to @gordondaviesmoustache he is our resident rumpole ;-)
