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

As someone in their 50s I fucking object to that comment.

Being in my sixties I'd take it all day long

Wow, Simon Cliff and the City Board have gone for the PL big style.

That's a strongly worded very dismissive statement which really calls out the complete lack of corporate governance and professionalism at the top of the PL.

Masters is a dead man walking. It's only a matter of time before he goes now surely.

Long overdue in view of his alignment with the redshirt cabal .

I want our Club to go after everybody who has slurred our good name since we were taken over.

Take the lot of them to court and give it them with both barrels.

"In an astonishing, unprecedented move which further underlines the civil war that has broken out in English football, the champions have accused league bosses of ‘misleading’ sides by providing ‘inaccuracies’.

In the message, seen by Mail Sport, City’s general counsel Simon Cliff says bluntly: ‘regrettably the (league’s) summary is misleading and contains several inaccuracies’.

‘Of even greater concern,’ Cliff adds, ‘is the Premier League’s suggestion that new APT rules should be passed within the next 10 days.

'When the Premier League consulted on and proposed the original APT Rules in late 2021, we pointed out that the process (which took several weeks) was rushed, ill-thought-out and would result in rules that were anti-competitive. The recent Award has validated those concerns entirely.’

Cliff informs clubs that the panel found APT rules, aimed at preventing clubs from agreeing inflated deals with companies linked to their owners, unlawful and that, contrary to the top-flight’s comments, the decision renders all of the rules ‘null and void’."

Essentially, APT is legally unenforceable... Looks like the gloves are off! Lol :-)

Wow that's pretty explosive and unprecedented, sooner or later though all sides are going to have to sit down and talk, but this constant war against City and to a smaller extent Newcastle has to stop, most fair minded people know what it's all about, a cartel of clubs trying to protect their financial interests by foul means

You would think both sides would want him gone. City for obvious reasons but even if you were United/Liverpool/Arsenal, you would surely look at this and think that this guy isn’t fit for purpose. He was brought in to protect certain clubs and he can’t deliver.

I love Martin Samuel. He just gets it

Thought it was more stripping back to 2021 rules, rather than removing. Then working on new rules from there

Did you see Cliff's letter to the other clubs yet?

We are, according to Liverpool fans, the football club equivalent of Donald Trump. Claiming victory in defeat.

Where do these half wits come up with such tosh as that?!

Who gives a shit what them smelly twats think of us.
They are the epitome of your mardarse entitled fan.
Fuck em.

They are all ignoring the Judgement just like they did at CAS. Totally bizarre. This is what happens in a post-truth society.

But so are the Regulator, bizarre in the extreme
