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

All you're short is a rocking chair and the Val Doonican knitted jumper.

Got two rocking chairs here, but tbh we don't need the jumpers :)

There is nothing to gain for the PL as far as I can see. But this is a thread for conspiracies, so here is one.

The club, in the 115 case has asked to the panel to delay judgment on the FFP breaches because, if they are right that the APT rules are null and void since inception because of the treatment of shareholder loans, then the entire FFP/PSR rulebook is null and void since 2013 for the same reason. So the allegations that the club fiddled the books to beat FFP fall completely away.

How is that one? :)

Edit: Btw, I suppose that may explain the PL's rush to implement new rules to present to the tribunal as a fait accompli and avoid the trouble.

How does that help with the length of the grass.

Good point. With FFP gone, that would be the only thing left that gives a sporting advantage :)

Can you imagine some rag or dipper fan infiltrating our website to see how worried we are about 115 etc. only to see us discussing the merits of Paddy McGintys goat versus O'Raffertys motor car.

Bring it on, bastards.

Christine in Two Doors Down does a brilliant rendition of Paddy McGinty's goat, it's a great programme that, along with Still Game (best comedy ever for me) two fantastic Scottish comedy's.

Theyre run by absolute fuckers but you can never overestimate the Americans for cunning and wily ways when it comes to aggressive business advancements for profit. And I wouldn’t put it past the red cunts to try to kill the PL dead so they can push ahead with the super league with the fans on board and no legal red tape. Meanwhile angling to have our fingerprints over it so we don’t get invited to the next one on the grounds of us being the bad guys.

I’d also expect masters to get a job with them as thanks for making it happen.

This could very well be their exit strategy particularly if the 115 is not going very well and they can no longer rely on Panel members to act unlawfully.

Does this conspiracy mean that in order to receive a positive outcome from the 115 case, that we must get the positive result from the APT? Otherwise...?

If I was going all-in with my theory, which I am not of course, l would say that the reason for overstating revenue and understating expenses falls away if there is no lawful FFP. The PL isn't there to enforce the Companies Acts. Now that would be the mother of all technicalities :)

Ah, yes, but how the media love a meaty technicality and we have their guru, none other than the venerable Sam Wallace, to tell us that the law itself is no more than an inconvenient technicality to be dispensed with when necessary.

We’ve been told to Sky and Talksport etc that we will be playing in the National League next season. Surely if this was happening the PL could hold off for a few months and then do their vote once City are out of the way. Or have the media been briefing the lemmings who read their shite wrong?

Interesting. And in their bad tempered and somewhat panicky reply to City's latest round robin the PL have never come close to suggesting City might not be involved with PL affairs next season! Surely the cartel aren't short of confidence?!
