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

The clubs who threatened to break away resulting in the formation of the PL and who were the English representatives in the G18 that still run European football.
Can you perhaps name those clubs if you know them so I don't have to go and research? I am not very familiar with those developments at all. I haven't really been closely following English football matters during that period of time.
 
I don't understand why FMV is needed, if person A wants to invest in person B to help both become successful. Why has your rivals got a right to say how much person A can invest. That to me in a free market place seems bonkers
Also, when you consider there’s a ban on Tobacco companies advertising and (or soon to be) betting companies, who decides what FMV is with reduced competition for sponsorship. I reckon Chupa Chups sponsorship of Sheffield Wednesday would get frowned upon these days with the sugar tax.

There are very few, fine upstanding financial institutions like Standard Chartered to go around.

Well your club were at the forefront. Alan Sugar had a huge influence on the formation of the PL as the TV deal would allow him to sell his Amstrad satellite decoder boxes. And it was Irving Scholar who drove a coach & horses through the FA rules when he set up a holding company that allowed him to circumvent existing rules.

Alongside Spurs, it was united, Liverpool, Everton & Arsenal. These were the clubs who threatened multiple times to break away from the Football League if they didn't get their way over distribution of ticket money, preferential TV deals and the setting up of the PL.

So now you fucking know.

15 percent share of the tv deal for Liverpool, Everton, Arsenal, Spurs and United. 10 percent share of the tv deal for the likes of City, Chelsea and Oldham back in 1992. That sounds fair.
 
Name calling like this in correspondence usually means its prime purpose is PR -
  • "rejects in the strongest possible terms the repeated and baseless assertions"
  • "does not provide a credible basis to impugn..."
  • "such threats are meritless, and advanced without any attempt to articulate a credible ground on which MCFC could seek to restrain the consultation process".
  • “a tendentious and inaccurate interpretation” of the minutes of a call held with clubs last month.
Banned Roan couldn't resist quoting a few words of scouse hilarity from the dippers aged shill - comedy gold:

Rick Parry expressed concern at “a whole raft of competition law cases which are impacting on the way that we run the game"."To be looking over our shoulder all of the time with challenges from clubs if they don't like rules… the game will grind to a halt unless we find a solution for that” he told BBC Sport. "I have no problem with us having to be more professional. But it's the willingness of clubs at the drop of a hat to challenge the whole system.”"You have to question how long you can function effectively while that mentality exists, and we have to find a solution to that.”

Quite right Rick, don't want anybody noticing the cartel passing a shedload of bent rules to keep your redshirt employers in the gravy for the past decade do we?
This **** acts like he's on the playground. Embarrassing

See this is what really winds me up. It has nothing to do with not liking the rules, it has everything to do with having unlawful rules that give an advantage to certain clubs. If the PL put in place lawful rules that don't benefit one set of clubs, and those rules are then voted on using the correct procedures and passed, then all clubs will abide by them. And if that happens the game won't 'grind to a halt'. Easy. Over to you PL.
 
Imagine in any other walk of life a billionaire buys a rundown shop in a rundown area of town.
10 years later he has turned his rundown shop into the biggest and best shopping empire in the world. You enlarge your shop making it the best around.
He has spent millions in helping with the rundown area and made it fashionable.
Help provide jobs and helps support the local community.
He probably would be knighted !

BUT in football this is all wrong football is about debt, taking money out of the game, not investing in your statium. Football doesn't competition on our off the field it likes it's status quo. So these 'bent' owners bring in illegal rules to try and stop our roll model. These 'bent' owners employ the shitty press/media to do their dirty work.
These 'bent owners than promise the 'smaller' clubs to throw away their ambitions and sell their fans down the river with promises from these 'bent' American owners of more income.

I can't understand the silence from Newcastle. Possibly are the riches club yet seem to be doing nothing to fight against these illegal rules to stop them. I really don't understand Newcastle stance on this.
Unless Newcastle new owner is happy to be an also ran and take the money out of football.
or just biding their time until they buy one of the **** clubs
