City launch legal action against the Premier League | Hearing scheduled for October 2025 (p 1133)

[Withnail]

Client journalism at its very worst.

Wallace as bad as Delooney, Ogden and Herbert. Sign of the times only Samuel fighting our corner.

Client journalism at its very worst.

He's literally just saying they need to break the law to stick it to City.

At least they aren't trying to hide the corruption anymore.

 

[Newman Noggs]

I wonder if all these shills have some sort of arrangement under which they've agreed to write the same regurgitated article one after another rather than all at once so it looks like they are coming to the same conclusion separately and based on a different set of facts.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Meh he's not even got a blue tick.

No mark wanker.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

That article is quite something when you read it. Basically arguing that unlawful rules are actually justified if they hinder a team you dislike.

Arguments like that tend not to stand up in court though.

 

[RobinHood]

Love to know what the likes of Wallace "earns" for writing that.

Disrespect from us.

Indeed.

Is 'none league' like non-league but non-existent... or should that be none-existent?

I should get out more.

Haha. Should have read "non". However "none " may have been more appropriate

 

[I'm Blue]

So they are bribing some of the other clubs so they will vote something in that is unlawful... yeah that's the cartel way the kunts

Basically go against City or we’ll fuck you over.

“These Arabs….. coming over here & obeying our laws..!”

I think the tock is ticking!

If Masters & the cartel manage to get these unlawful rules through, does that mean we've got to go back to an independent panel which could take another 6 months & stops us increasing revenues enough to prevent us signing the replacements we need.

It feels as though the cnuts are trying to replicate the dragging out of the Newcastle takeover.

I've only seen the headline, but I thought surely he doesn't mean this.

You've just confirmed he did.

What an absolutely bizarre angle for Wallace to go with.

& the compensation increases.

& the compensation increases.

It seems the cartel don't care about that

Bankruptcy would suit them….

The last game before Kevin Keegan was Oxford United and the gate was 10,004. So, we can safely say there were less than 10,000 Geordies there. Unless Oxford have a large number of Geordie fans!

In a one team City!

Mehh. Who cares? City's position is either legally correct or it isn't. And that is nothing to do with Wallace or the other 19 clubs, tbh.

He got a lot wrong, it’s possible absolutely everything, I’ll go back & check the day & date tallies.

I’d imagine the premier league are expecting defeat so that’s why the client journalist can make things up knowing it won’t happen & big bad City continues.

The basic premise of the article - that there are no financial controls if City "win" this case - , is nonsense. PSR and RPT will still be in force, at least until challenged.

If I was being overly analytical, I could pick holes in each paragraph. From the horrible grammar in the first paragraph ("– measures City have expended considerable resources trying to explain why their fellow clubs should reject"), to missing the point on why City wrote the recent letter in the second paragraph, to not understanding in paragraph three that City's strategy is wholly consistent with their view that the current rules are null and void, and will be, irrespective of Friday's vote, until the tribunal makes their decision, and so on.

It's a poor piece of journalism from a reporter who is obviously so far out of his comfort zone. The only question is whether he is stupid enough to proudly demonstrate his lack of expertise in this area, or unprofessional enough to write only what he is told to write. Tough one to answer that. Maybe the answer is both .....
