Jog on and sort the interest on your loan out.

And tell their fucking squared headed manager to show some respect, fucking tarquins.

100% thats how I see it, there seems to be this view that we were trying to throw out the whole principle of APT rules, I don't believe that to be the case at all. There needs to be regulation and rules in place however they need to be fair to all parties concerned and most importantly legal.

We felt the amendments pushed through after the Newcastle take over were not fair and legal and as such challenged them. We won, they are having to amend the rules.

The PL are claiming a victory in that the panel agreed there needed to be rules and regulations, I dont believe we ever challenged that.

100% this^

Fair and open, that's all we want and deserve nothing more or less.

All I'll say is how incredibly awesome is it that you guys have Stefan Borson on here to give his considered view based on years of expertise. Whilst the 'old man shouting at clouds' type of posts that dominate this thread may be more immediately visceral, facts and opinions based on years of expertise are optimal IMHO.

It's also a reminder to myself to not comment on things I don't know the ins and outs of without expressly stating it's an opinion or hearsay and should be treated as such. Others would do well to follow likewise.

And that is the entire point, it is HIS considered view and that is all, the fact that he chooses to use an appalling excuse of a radio station which has in the past employed stan collymore and mark goldbridge and currently employs gabby agbonlahor and martin keown to voice that opinion somewhat reduces the veracity of that opinion. I get he is a blue and he knows his onions but that does not make him infallible and his opinions above reproach with the best will in the world if a respected surgeon decided to express his medical opinion in the beano you would have to question why.

I wish I had the intellectual and analytical capacity of Rob Draper.

Modern media is a shit show, impossible to comprehend.

As for rival fans and forums, don't take any notice (I know it's hard) because generally they are absolutely clueless most of this is well above their collective heads, they have the lynch mob mentality they don't understand the concept of justice and legality basically it pains me to say this but they are as numb as a box of spanners, and even if they were sat down and had it all explained to them they would still say the same things because it's part of their belief system

As for the media reports people need to remember the strange parasitic relationship the media have with the PL they need each other, hence the media spin in favour of the PL

Sounds like cultish behavior.

He probably considers this a win :)

Wasn’t there supposed to be a second case where City could claim compensation? What happened there?

604. Injunctive relief and damages are also sought. We reserve our jurisdiction to grant such relief. We do not [do] so in this Award because we heard no submissions as to such relief and in any event we consider that the Parties should have the opportunity to consider what, if any, further relief is appropriate in the light of our conclusions.
605. We also reserve all questions of costs.
