City launch legal action against the Premier League | Club & PL reach settlement | Proceedings dropped (p1147)

[JCB001]

Fancy that, Collymore mis-reading a situation. whatever next

Have they found anyone from City who see it as a positve for us ?...... Nah I doubt it

I’m happy to take this as a win, given that I have zero legal training.
I am however, a curmudgeonly cynic and part of me is now worrying that the PL have agreed to this “deal” (and will potentially allow the new etihad deal) as a means of getting City to “agree that APT rules are infact lawful”.
What’s to stop them throwing out our next sponsorship from any business who have employees that once went to the Middle East on holiday, and saying “you agreed this process was lawful so tough” ?

As I say, I’m not a lawyer, just a cynical old man and I do not trust the PL.

Maybe the part where it talks about both parties saying nothing is that there is something in place where they can’t knock back City’s sponsorships. That would get some piss boiling.

Magic Hat probably harming himself

Hope so...

Sounds to me like the PL don’t want 2 losses to MCFC in a relatively short time period…
I say it comes in the next 3 Mondays in my non-expert opinion.

Everything is so corrupt. I am glad there are people like me with morals.

As Mr Bridger said to Camp Freddy in the Italian Job, “Everybody in the World is bent”

I look forward to the announcements of improved City sponsorship agreements and the reaction from Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal fans.

Quite a lot of misunderstanding about one of the technical FMV reasons why City’s Etihad sponsorship deal was rejected. One of the key reasons was the disagreement over the built in annual growth rate and, especially, the impact of that over the latter years. Here’s an illustration why (using a 24/25 base fee of £100m pa) comparing 5% (very hard to dispute) with 8% (more aggressive)…

There will be an agreement in writing which will be expressed as binding on both parties. The PL dare not break that. The agreement will be tightly drafted by the expensive lawyers on both sides.

Did we have to give ground on one matter (i.e. the legality of the APT framework) in order to secure better terms on the outcome of the other?

No

 

[Don Karleone]

You forgot he’s also a journaleeest.

That video was funny af.

Can we expect 300m a year Etihad deal? Maybe plus 100m a year Etihad Bank deal

Rumoured to be worth £1 billion over the course of its duration with uplifts as it goes along.

When Miguel Delaney says its a significant win for City you can rest assured that it is definitely a significant win for City

 

[Big Joe Corrigan]

I know how strident Khaldoon has been about this fight, but this settlement, to me, makes an agreed upon resolution fo the 115 seem more likely. Probably one where we take a slap on the wrist for the lack of cooperation charges and are cleared of the bigger stuff. Just a guess from an American lawyer.

I can’t see Khaldoon accepting that, not after what he said.

 

[TheGhost]

All of this is a load bollocks until we actually buy a right back and Mbappe

 

[Lowtower]

Champions again!

Collymore deleted his tweet, shitbag

Okay... How about swap

"Probably one where we take a slap on the wrist for the lack of cooperation charges and are cleared of the bigger stuff"

For

"Probably one where we agree that we won't sue the PL for every single penny they have after we have been fully exonerated"
