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

[ninjamonkey]

Its a big win for City, as youd expect. Theres no way we'd go to court without a strong expectation of some kind of win and any kind of win is a deeply embarrassing moment for the PL. To be told your own rules are unlawful is very damaging. Heads simply have to roll for that.

The spin attempt already though is genuinely hilarious, and you can just see how many morons will eat it up because they're too thick to understand the reality.

the premier league essentially trying to claim a victory because some of the claims were rejected is fooling nobody but the village idiots. unless all claims were rejected, its a damning loss.

Whilst they aren't related in the slightest to the 115 charges, it will be a big boost for us. The optics around city proving the premier league cannot act in an indiscriminate manner or even within the law has to raise a lot of questions and doubt.

Apologies if I have missed it, but what about the damages for the losses we have suffered due to their now proven unlawful conduct.

We can seek damages if we want. Personally I'd love to see it but I wouldn't be surprised if we refrained.

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?

The PL. Created by Sky for the few. To be over-seen and administered by the few. For the benefit of the few. Always came across to me as a Sky-sponsored protection racket.

Why do fucking Bournemouth have a big say and interest in this? Sooner they fuck off back to the third tier the better!

Or that they are grossly incompetent. Or both, most likely.

Fuck me has the King died on Sky Sports, black banner! If the PL had won it would be fireworks and everything.

Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Brighton and Hove Albion will be now forever known as the red cartel arseholes and the haemorrhoid clubs hanging onto them.

We should let it be known that we will conduct no business transactions (xfers) with them in the future.

And he actually said there is no portion of the ruling that the premier league could consider a victory

He knows !
