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

The money we are spending and all these legal cases, who pays it. If it comes from the club is it written off in PSR calculations?
 
The bottom line on this for me is the PL need to sit down and agree new rules but on much fairer terms. If they maintain the stated objective of the rules and ensure some form of FMV is applied to sponsorships and now financing packages then the burden and standard of proof that any deal is outside FMV becomes much harder to do , it has to be very obviously above FMV - and if they call a deal out may be much easier to challenge with the potential of huge legal costs and compensation. The financial packages much easier to give a value at FMV would think. Just think the PL will tread more carefully in future. An obvious advantage from going down the commercial sponsorship route rather than shareholder loans for us being we get to spend it on the squad and wages even within the new rules around squad costs. We are in a stronger position today than we were pre judgement. In effect we may not have beaten the school bully to a pulp but we have bloodied his nose.
 
The press reporting on the outcome reminds me of the 18/19 season when us and the tramps was toe to toe. We was on a run of 12 or 13 straight wins, them lot 6 or 7 but it was reported that we was both on a run of 20 games unbeaten.
Or when they used to say City and Liverpool have shared the title between them over the years when in reality we'd won the most and they won just the one.
I half expected this outcome to involve them mentioning Arsenal or Liverpool had claimed some kind of victory but having said that they are both indirectly involved with these interest free loans uncannily.
 
The Premier League have been called unlawful, unreasonable and unfair.

City can sue for damages.

The PL have called an emergency meeting (why if they’ve won?).

The current APT rules need to be changed.

How this is being spun so both sides won is completely laughable. The press are completely ignoring the fact we have previously voted in favour of APT rules, just not in the current format. I highly suspect us trying to get them thrown out completely was a legal tactic advised by our legal team, you go big not expecting to win big.
Nailed it! The usual media puppets being utilised by the cartel to limit damage to the PL’s integrity & their reputations
