City launch legal action against the Premier League | Hearing scheduled for October 2025 (p 2266)

You'd of thought the whole covid fiasco and empty stadiums would have put a stop to pricing increases but it didnt sadly.

Not sure if its a good or a bad thing for match day going fans.

Just have to look at leagues like serie A, all games on tv and lots of empty seats etc

Nothing beats the atmosphere at the ground. Unless the PL and the clubs continue to relentlessly sanitise the match day experience and the game itself, in which case there may be trouble ahead for the sport as a whole.

So Walker has gone from hero to San Zero

You will definitely know more than me but I thought (initially at least) a streaming model was just for the overseas market.

Is it possible that the domestic market could be in scope?

Plans for both from what was said in the meeting.

It's certainly lost It's soul, but that's what you get with this money making system.

Mail snippet:
The Premier League had been due to vote the new systems through for next season at a meeting earlier this month. However, following Manchester City's victory in their legal challenge on rules around sponsorship deals the ballot was postponed.


Instead, the systems will continue to run in
'shadow'.

wtf does that last part mean? Making this up as they go along.

Oh and apparently we did win! Who would have thought -:)

Almost a 'Zero San Siro' then

And Juventus had a crowd of only 237 in the cup against Sampdoria in 2001-2002 season.

Just mean they'll use the existing rules (whatever that actually means now) but will run everything through the rules they wanted to bring in as well to see if it works. Oddly enough, they've not made that bit up.

Question - with Liverpool reporting record losses the other day in a period where they didn’t recruit much on player sales. Salah, Alexander Arnold and Van Dijk all potentially being moved off the wage bill and no fees being recouped. There will be a need for them to be active in the market and replacing those players won’t come cheap. How do they then begin to go about rebuilding when their preferred method of interest free owner loans has now been closed off to them?

How did they loose money when they have been ok on the pitch making money in the past and haven’t spent big ? Could it all be new stand costs in which case they are fine anyway

Stanley park has space for at least another 5 phantom stadiums they can write off losses against.
