This was obviously brought in February and has been leaked yesterday.
We wouldn't have leaked this so it's all on the prem league leaking it 4 days before a hearing so they can gey the public on side.
All other fans calling city out for cheating but if we do win this legal action it goes to show how bent the prem league is and it deserves to fall apart if everything being stated by us is true

This is exactly how I feel as well. I have been a City fan for the best part of 60 years and all this “noise” is ruining my enjoyment of the game. I just want to watch my team play football. I am also struggling to understand why APT rules are a bad thing. I don’t really want to see a league where the team with the deepest pockets wins all the prizes.

I can see your point but the trouble is the team with the deepest pockets have with the odd exception always been the team winning the most prizes & it never seemed to be a problem in the past,
The difference is now its City winning the most and all the other former winners dont like it so keep pushing for rule changes to try and stop it.

I don't follow...

So we lose the challenge, meaning that the charges against us are at least on firm legal ground... and in spite of this, the PL subsequently lose their case against us? And this works to "save face" for the PL?

Would give them a 'win' against us and possibly show they aren't useless and rolling over for us in some people's eyes?

I don't think this challenge relates to the alleged breaches, though I could be wrong.

So there’s no conflict of interest here , just a regular day at the office.

Ah, I think I named the wrong marriage above. Sorry. It’s Slot.

Thats what I assumed too. Good timing of the leak.

Fair market value should have nothing to do with related ownership matters.

What is fair market value.
The rags paid 90 million for Anthony.
Isn't his agent ten hags brother.
That was 90 million pounds.
Not 90 million pieces of sand .

It's absolutely about the alleged breaches against us. We are claiming that extant rules are illegal on the basis that they limit fair competition.

City's legal challenge to Premier League to begin on Monday

Manchester City’s legal case against the Premier League’s associated party transaction (APT) rules will begin on Monday, June 10. City are suing the league in an attempt to have the rules — which they claim are unlawful — abolished in a two-week private arbitration hearing. The Premier League’s...

It begs the question, if as Stefan said we are very unlikely to win this case, why have the club taken it on?

The PL have been giving us a kicking since we won the first pot in 2011, and have not ceased since. City might think it's time to kick back!

Why did Masters fuck off to The Emirates on the last day? Tells you everything. Had it been Liverpool or MANUre who were in the driving seat for the title would he have been at The Emirates then?

Not a chance , the blokes nothing but a shill.
