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

Fantastic article by Martin Samuel in the Times.
He gets it.

The sky won’t fall in even if Manchester City win their court case

The sky won’t fall in even if Manchester City win their court case

The Premier League’s rules were always going to be challenged by one of the clubs they were designed to stop – but whatever the outcome football will continue

Martin Samuel puts the other spineless " journalists " who spew out their lies and hyperbole to absolute shame with an article of honesty and integrity.

The other click chasing whores who spread the lies which suit the redshirt and hanger on spurs clubs , demonstrate that any training undertaken to become " journalists " has been a waste due to their lack of personal sense of decency.

Who does he support do we know

Not City is it :-)

He supports West Ham!

One of the few decent independent journalists out there.

The PL is starting to split into different factions now. The red shirts did a good job of turning everyone against us but they’ve gone too far with a ridiculous number of clubs being investigated. Even the Italian league didn’t go to these lengths and some of their teams were outright bribing refs. This is just investment!

I hope…divide and conquer is the order of the day.

Never mind the sky falling in re the City case.

The sky will fall in on journalism the day Martin Samuel hangs up his typewriter (yes, I’m that old)

I emailed potato head Herbert and told him in no uncertain terms what a sell out he is, how immature his pieces are and how his racist employers seem to employ racist employees, also put a link of Mr Samuel's brilliantly written and balanced article.

Can you believe i got a near enough instant reply!!

It read like this.

"Ah yes, people like you.."...


Fuckin piss funny, emailed back asking if he needs help taking the hook out of his lip.

What a bellend.

They've never made sense and if they were challenged in a European court when UEFA first brought them in I'm sure they would have been scrapped long ago.

We all know exactly why these rules were rushed in and it was to protect the established European and English elite clubs at the top and ensure they stayed there. For the first twelve seasons of the premier league United won it eight times, Arsenal three and Blackburn once. Some fair competition eh? Of course clubs could spend what they wanted then and United and Arsenal being two of the richest did just that and as a result won the most trophies. Only Blackburn, backed by Jack Walker's millions broke the monopoly. Then came Chelsea and us. Panic ensued, new rules brought in. Happily too late to stop us, but what a hate and smear campaign since!

Great post mate - nutshell.

Compare Martin Samuel to Simon Jordan. It just shows how farcical and how clickbait-ish things like TS truly are. I would recommend all Blues should boycott it.

Ask Herbert if he has been brave enough to read Martin Samuel’s article and if so what does he think of real journalism.

Thanks. Every football fan knows it's true but they don't care they just want us stopped at all costs. The truth doesn't come into it for them.

If I am understanding this correctly one of the concerns we have with the changes made in Feb is that deals such as the Etihad and Esilat would be classed as associated deals and as such would be reviewed by the PL and could have their valuation down graded, they could also go back three years with this valuation.

Again, if I understand this correctly, lets say they reduce the value by £15 million per year that would mean a negative adjustment of £45 million. Given the PSR rules allow for a loss of £105 million it could make things very difficult for us.

If this is the case then no wonder we are challenging it.

They can't go back three years. It's not in the rules.
