Big Statement

The Premier League blocked a major sponsorship deal that Manchester City had lined up WOW This is now deemed unlawful and wrong,

Manchester City are going to have them over a barrel

The club should definitely sue for loss of earnings

Has anyone got a link to the full ruling?
Page 164 makes it look like total victory but would be good to see the first couple of pages.

Martin Samuel has a piece on this in The Times, entitled

Seismic verdict for football that leaves financial rules in tatters​

Unfortunately, it's behind their paywall. Could someone weave their magic and post a link to a shared version?

He's the only one I'd trust to tell the actual truth, he always has.

My personal favourite coverage of the Tribunal decision is from the BBC.

Nearly every other purportedly reputable outlet has not only provided a full analysis immediately as the story broke (i.e. they had it ready in advance of the decision being released to all the clubs), but they indicate that, on balance, this is a win (if not a major one) for City.

But BBC has given it the minor story treatment on the Sport and Football news pages, and it’s barebones blurb attempts to set the narrative that this was not a defeat of the PL’s APT rules and enforcement, and definitely not a victory for City.

The way that you know this is a dubious narrative is that, had it actually been a win for the PL, the story link and image would have been a massive block at the top of both the Sport and Football pages, and the immediate write up would have been an in-depth analysis of all of the ways City failed in our challenge.

PL-captured “journalism” at it’s worst.

That's a shocker to be frank, pathetic
