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

As an aside, I do wonder how the ‘Market Value’ is calculated?

I can honestly see it being based on what value United, Liverpool and Arsenal can attain, with a decreasing value for all others, not taking into account current market share of MCFC after 10 years of increasing domination.

Is this why they wouldn’t show the formulae?

That's why City have a problem with Nielson assessing them, they also work for those three clubs!

FWIW, I think Ian Cheeseman, PB and City Rabin should have free season cards for life for their roles in rebutting the media storm around CAS.

Stefan provided great information but it would t do him any favours on Talkshite if we gave him a free season card lol

Was City Rabin Stefan?

This thread is now hitting Messi Mambo levels of unkeepupability.

Currently watching you on a talksport podcast, that was on my YouTube feed. The other guy seems a bit of a clown, going on about oil money, and incorrectly the amount we spend.

Not finished it yet but you're coming across very well in this so far

And that other guy is an actual football club owner/chairman. He seems to base his opinions on what the media say. Absolutely clueless about legal proceedings and, seemingly, football.

Hard to believe Masters has led the league into this much of a mess.​

The man needs to go, he's a little weakling who has neither the political nor mental capacity to stand up to the red cartel. Otherwise, this is all heading to absolute disaster for everyone.

Masters was hired by the Cartel precisely because he exuded these critical qualities. It was part of the job description...

No. I liked his languid, insouciant style very much.

Played like he’d had a teenth of sputnik on the team bus. Geezer.

I loved the way he tried to beat his man 5 times , just in case you missed the other 4 . All in slow motion as well

He pure a great cross for a Quinny goal in a Derby once.

Only a teenth?

As a Newcastle fan, I questioned this. Say I was a millionaire, or even a billionaire and I wanted to sponsor Newcastle Inited for £50m, and the Premier League said no, but I asked to sponsor Liverpool for that amount and they said yes, surely I have the ability to take action against the Premier League.

To me, giving Newcastle £50m would be worth it. It could buy us a player to compete, or it could be the difference between winning something, and not winning it.
Giving Liverpool that money would mean the opposite, Liverpool likely get that player ahead of Newcastle, and likely go on to win something with that money.

Naturally you all as Man City fans would feel the same about sponsoring Man City.

So who is it for the Premier League to say how I can and can’t spend my money, and how 2 teams who have an equal share in the Premier League are having 2 different limits of funding sources placed on them?

Surely in competition law, there is laws preventing that, as well as the Premier Leagues ‘Everyone is equal, and has equal opportunities’ rules.

Exactly! Welcome to our world! :-)

The first question to Nielson in court should be "To what extent does your business model depend on giving your client the result it wants?"

A little bit like what was shown in the film “The Big Short”. All the rating agencies basically doing what they thought would keep them in business.
