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

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?

Well Rick, why don't you shut up and just feck off, everything will be better then. It was you and your mates who started this and now it's come back to bite you all on the bum. Hurts a bit doesn't it.;-)

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.

And were the 15 percenters guaranteed airtime as well meaning they picked up some cash every week whilst the rest of league only got their 10 percent on occasion?

I read somewhere that this was the case - if it was the grabbing bastards have been having it over on everyone else for about 30 years. It’s no wonder they won’t let go of the cash cow that is The Premier League - the stakes are enormous.

This may explain the aggressive reaction of the PL to City's letter to the other PL clubs, describing City's assertions as "baseless" and our "threats of further legal action" as "meritless". This seems strange in view of the outcome of our recent legal action. We might have been tempted to see this as emanating from the PL's lawyers if we weren't aware of the PL's penchant for ignoring the advice of its own (very expensive) lawyers and we don't know if the full findings of the IC are known to the PL. I suspect they are concerned about that detailed judgement and how explosive it might be. They may have other concerns - that a damning report might lead to an IR with far wider powers, a totally vindicated City, and a queue of rats to try and leave the sinking ship. The PL could be trying one last tour de force to try and save its bacon.

Hubris has always been their trademark, effectively they control the media, most of the PL clubs and perhaps feel they can control the UK legal system as well.

The sudden change to their own choice of Panel Members actually applying the UK law has come as a shock to them so maybe they have much more to hide in other areas of their self serving rules, the detail as you call them.

Absolutely not happening though.
It took them nearly 2 years, and a legal case against the Premier League to get the takeover over the line. If you believe the media, they will also try to spin that they paid $1bn in compensation to the BeIN piracy to get the takeover done as well.
We are also about to announce a new stadium which is expected to cost between £1bn-£4bn.
The buying another club spiel has been going on forever, Ben Jacobs has released info that they are going to buy Inter Milan every month since we were first linked with PIF.
If they wanted a Man Utd, Liverpool etc, then they would have paid the £5bn or so it would have cost to get them in the first place.
Like with your owners (and PSG’s), the success comes from creating a new dynasty, not from sustaining the status quo.

In all honesty though, I think we are playing the long game. We know that you are doing legal challenges, we know Villa are getting restless.
The Premier League will eat itself in time, and it already is doing so. The last 2 transfer windows have been so bad, that even media pundits are wanting the rules relaxed so that transfers can start again.
There is only so many times you can deduct points from Everton, and it’s laughable to be deducting them from newly promoted clubs who have to invest in order to compete.
You have Rick ‘I’m an uber **** intent on giving football to Liverpool’ Parry saying the TV money the EFL gets is shit.
You have a looming government independent regulator saying to Masters ‘Come on man, enough eh?’.
You TV broadcast deals dropping in value, whilst the NFL’s reach record breaking highs as they play in our football stadiums.
You have every football fan in the country with a Fire stick.
You have Arsenal, and Liverpool fans pissing themselves with excitement that the ESL is going to come round again.
And to top it all off, this week you have a referee on a video recording saying he hates ones of the leagues clubs (understandable considering it’s Liverpool), saying a former high profile Premier League manager is a **** (also indicating that they did fuck all whilst he was bullied by him), doing coke before games, and in pictures with other referee’s about to have a group orgy with prostitutes.

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.

This is the best bit:
But it's the willingness of clubs at the drop of a hat to challenge the whole system.

Banging on like Khaldoon just wakes up in the morning and thinks “I’m bored, I know I’ll launch a legal action against the PL today.” No mention of the considerations and consultations which would have to take place before a challenge, what a tool.

In all fairness, we proposed new spending caps that would be equal to the income of the club with the highest amount.
This was rejected by the same old clubs, once again proving that it is competition they want to prevent, not protecting sustainability.
