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

Is it good or bad for us ?
It’s good in that the rule amendments in February that we objected to have effectively been removed, but I think people are getting a bit carried away by this. The APT rules haven’t been scrapped, they’ve just gone back to the pre-Feb 24 version. Worth noting that the new proposed Etihad deal was rejected by the PL under the old rules anyway. Also should point out that this could all yet change once we get the tribunal’s final findings (assuming that the two parties haven’t had them yet).

Which is still good for City, Newcastle, Forest, Villa, etc.

The new rules that were put in place by Masters, the PL and the Red Cartel clubs to stop and slow down Newcastle and other clubs have been amended back to pre 2024, as you say.

And no interest free loans by owners to get their clubs past FFP and PSR.

That will do.

A good result.

Truth.

The rolling back of the 2024 changes is good, but I think whether City have "won" or not depends on whether the new Etihad deal is effective or not. I am not clear whether the assessment of the deal being set aside by the tribunal means that the deal is now effective or whether the PL can now re-assess the deal under these new (in the PL's view) lawful rules.

On the wider point of the lawfulness of the new rules, as you say we have to wait for the tribunal's upcoming judgment before that can be determined. Publication of the new rules doesn't really mean anything in isolation, other than that the PL are still doing it their unilateral way.
