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

[55yr old teenager]

I don't think they could give information to the PL and withhold it from City.

They could if they did it secretly.

They can't operate outside of UK Law….

If that is the case then surely the high court has to get involved to preserve the law and to ensure everything is above board and legal. None of this "rule X" bollocks the Premier League have to protect their own interests and the red cartel clubs should be used as an excuse. If the rules are unlawful, they are unenforceable and therefore null and void. No wonder the government want an independent regulator because the Premier League are not fit for purpose in that department.

Needs a good kicking into his gromit

I suspect thats where it could end up. Some may say a long time overdue!!

Shareholder loans cannot be used to get a club over the PSR line.

Interest not being calculated on the loan can get clubs over the line though.

I can only assume that either Masters has a good idea of what the Panels conclusions are going to be and has shaped APT accordingly or he has bet his career that it’s close enough to stop City filing suit again based on the Panels findings.

Either way, it looks like a hurried, scared, and unprofessional move to ram it down City’s throat.

Had there been only City dissenting, Masters might have been able to point and accuse, but 3 other clubs agreed that this was hasty and unwise, and they too must feel slighted.

Who knows, maybe they just didn’t want to be part of such a rushed vote or maybe they are of a mind to join City in the next lawsuit against the Premier league?

It’s all setting up to be a bit tense and hostile between the Parties, esp considering the 115 should be decided in the not-too-distant future!

Why?

Because I trust the integrity of the judges on the IC. If they would do something like that, then they wouldn’t have given the judgment they did in the first place.

Oh for sure, could be as much as 200 million per season for some clubs. Given loans are evaluated on risk using a customers credit rating would clubs such as Everton be offered a loan at all in the open market?

what on earth are you going on about, £40million max per season compounded and that would be very very extreme

In interest?! Surely not!
