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

[Blue Mist]

Matt Lawton (The Times) and Mike Keegan (Daily Mail) both reported on the same topic at the very same time. I highly suspect City briefed both of them.

Keep your friends (the Times) close but your enemies even closer.

Sweet

Didn't Khaldoon say he would rather spend £50 million on the best lawyers rather than take another hit.
You are correct they were warned and I don't believe their own lawyers didn't warn them of the risks.
This is Little England standing up to the American owned cartel.
Well, with a little help from the Sheikh;-)
Come on City.

Bloated arrogance is why. They have been so used to riding roughshod over everybody for years so expect to win everytime. I detest them and their superior bullying egotistical attitude.

I can’t say I’m bored with all this as it is interesting and City have to fight back but there are now no winners in any of this.

I used to be really worried we would be relegated if we lost 115. Don’t get me wrong I’d love to win these cases still but the difference now is that if we don’t I’m not sure I care that much anymore. We will be back anyway.

The whole thing is ridiculous.

We can't be relegated in this thread. It's an action the club brought against the PL.

We bent over backwards to try and appease everybody and be accepted. Taking a pinch as Khaldoon said, rebuilding east Manchester, playing great football, appointing arguably the best and most likeable coach in world football. All to no avail. Our problem was we just kept on winning. We dropped enough hints that if they didn't stop we'd fight back and take it to the bitter end. That's where we're at now. They wanted a fucking war they've got one.

Unfortunately true. It has to be done but we need to get back to football.

Of course but sadly we can't. This shit has been hanging over us forever.

"New PL rules include a retrospective exemption for shareholder loans for the period from December 2021 until the new rules come into effect".

So ... let me get this straight.

PL create rules that ignore shareholder loans.

Tribunal finds that ignoring loans is not legal.

PL create new rules that still ignore shareholder loans. Just not any new ones.

Are they for fooking real?

This is blatant disregard for the ruling of the independent tribunal. And yet once again it will be City who are portrayed as the evil corporation attacking the blameless little PL cartel.

Makes me fooking sick.

In the court of public opinion as driven by the red media we already lost all these issues even if totally exonerated. This ticks me off no end.

That about sums it up as far as I can see. Laughable.
