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

I lived in Newcastle in the mid 80’s. The ‘Toons’ support was pretty sparse at that time when Jack Charlton was at the helm.

Yep, before Keegan went there I seem to remember they had a home league game against Lincoln (I think) where the attendance was less than 10k.

Don't think that's true at all, I'm not even sure it's true now come to think of it.

Newcastle are media darlings compared to us, we're Jimmy Saville, they're just Ryan Giggs.

They wouldn’t be if they won 3 titles beating Liverpool, Arsenal and the Rags..
I remember when we were well thought of in the media and, funnily enough, it coincided with when we were shit….

It's been a long time for the board fighting the sustained attack on City and for a lot of us it has been compulsive reading on here with some very insightful posts. My opinion is that the board have treaded lightly on this constant attack on the club. But beneath the velvet glove is something more solid and this is what Khaldoon hinted at, in my opinion. I also believe they have played by the book, legally and regulation wise. They identified the people targeting the club who were involved with the PL and UEFA and probably the PL people at UEFA were the ones pushing UEFA along the road to charge City. The board probably knew when they had finished at CAS the next attack would be from the PL and they were right if they thought that. The people running City are no mugs and as long ago as the first UEFA fine they knew what would happen and this is where Mr Nice Guy Khaldoon let them know the velvet glove could be taken off by saying he is prepared to spend millions on lawyers to defend future attacks on the club not just by UEFA but anyone. The gloves are now, seemingly off. As we are both singing from the same book, it seems we just interpret a small part of the information we read differently.
Come on City.

That's good to hear but worrying that the others clubs believe the pl view of the rules and the lawyers

As for applying them retrospectively this is were I get confused. Are some rules applied retrospectively than all should be.

The PL can’t accept their rules were unlawful then just ignore that and say “never mind all that let’s just crack on from here and forget it happened”.

Imo there has to be sanctions for the clubs who were allowed to benefit from the unlawful rules.

4D chess, mate! They are tying themselves in knots and also shows up the double-standards when it comes to the 115 case ;)
