One of the outcomes is dragging the PL to court remember. If they want to play like this then I think City (Having ket their pwder dry for years) are fighting back dirty.@slbsn - are City satisfied with the outcome? Was it worth it? I was initially pleased because it seemed we’d “won” but as time goes on it’s beginning to seem that we’ve not gained much. I know it’s been explained at length but - as is evident from the disputes on here - it’s far too complicated to grasp for most & we don’t really know whether to be pleased or not?
It was worth it in terms of the gloves are well and truly off and City and for that matter Newcastle and Villa are going to stand up for themselves, long overdue.I think City are satisfied and that they believe it was worth it.
Fighting fire with fire sometimes is good.

I can't help thinking that City going on the front foot in this case means the club are still very confident about the 115/129/130 case. Because surely if it was the opposite then there wouldn't be much point in going after the PL regarding the APT case if we're going to be in deep shit further down the line.
No. Seems we have got what we wanted. Sometimes it’s good to ask for more than you want/need so that you get the things that you actually wantCity win APT case can be taken out of the thread heading then ??
Hard to see how this could ever get to court. The parties agree to arbitrate all disputes. Only disputes about the process could get to the High Court (as previously) but not the substantive matter.One of the outcomes is dragging the PL to court remember.

That is all I want really because my mistrust formed when the Panel was drawn up solely by PL.Hard to see how this could ever get to court. The parties agree to arbitrate all disputes. Only disputes about the process could get to the High Court (as previously) but not the substantive matter.
If they follow the process I am sure a fair result will ensue. If they don't follow the process fairness is not demonstrated.
Thanks Stefan.

By the way, I answered this question last time too
Yes, you have answered the question before.
Here is a new one, though. If City are satisfied with the current situation, why did they make such a fuss after the initial judgment and before the vote? They seemed very sure of their view on the consequences of the judgment. Is it just bluff, bravado? I'm not sure Mansour and Khaldoon do bluff and bravado. Would Pannick recommend it for some weird legal reason?

Always been my belief, 115/130 is 80% about Etihad, if not even more. The amounts involved in the other assumed issues ie Mancini/Toure/Fordham/Etisalat just don't compare to the £600m Etihad grand total. The two cases, APT and 115/130, appear to be independent but I'm guessing 115/130 could NOT be referenced in any way by the PL during its APT assessment of Etihad. That's because 115/130 is ongoing. If the integrity of the Ethihad deal is compromised in any way by 115/130 the PL will attempt to bounce the renewal approval outright, ie not even do an assessment. Still don't think most Blues understand how determined the PL are to remove our owners completely from England. When Masters said in public "Regimes come and regimes go..." it was a classic Freudian slip, it's about removing HHSM and UAE involvement entirely. Just dont think the majority of fans fully understand this.I can't help thinking that City going on the front foot in this case means the club are still very confident about the 115/129/130 case. Because surely if it was the opposite then there wouldn't be much point in going after the PL regarding the APT case if we're going to be in deep shit further down the line.
ITS WHY HAVE TO WIN ON ETIHAD.
