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

So what is it City are saying the PL have to wait for before making the new rules ? The panel has ruled. Is the panel going to give advice ? I didn’t think that was its role

The panel has not yet issued its remaining judgment, the first part was only a partial one.

Good. The days of those cunts bullying and riding roughshod over everyone are over. Leicester gave them a bloody nose I hope we finish the job.

Surprising? That's a lawyer talking. It's absolutely mind-boggling.

The tribunal gave the two parties time to "consider what, if any, further relief is appropriate in the light of our conclusions". The tribunal was then, as I understand it, asked to confirm whether the existing rules are null and void or not and, as of now, hasn't made a confirmation. Then the PL just goes ahead unilaterally to make changes. Wholly unprofessional.

Not having him referring to us as Man City.

Get rid.

Fucking lawyers. And PR people. And consultants .....

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

Not sure I get this issue with the new shareholder loan rule not being applied retrospectively.

We are only talking about the APT rules here.

The club's position is that the current rules are null and void, and so they shouldn't have been applied to any 2021-2024 transactions at all.

The PL's position is that the new rules solve the unlawfulness, but that they should only be applied going forward, leaving a period 2021-2024 in which the rules unlawfully excluded shareholder loans. And the club's position is that, following the PL's position, the new rules should be applied backwards to 2021-2024 transactions to correct the unlawfulness. But they can't because it's an ex-ante review and so impossible. Which is why they are null and void in the first place.

Is that it?

There is a much bigger problem for the PL in the treatment of shareholder loans for FFP/PSR back to 2013 , of course, but that isn't relevant here, is it, as the judgment, other than by implication, didn't conclude on that?

Wonder if the premier league letter was written on Arsenal letterhead paper.
