City launch legal action against the Premier League | Unconfirmed reports that City have secured "potentially significant victory" (p 808)

Are City able to sue them or anything?

 

[old get]

In all this clamour to make City look like baby eating mass murderers saying that the transfer market will be turned into ‘the wild west’. Has anyone asked the question what if what the Premier League has been doing is unlawful?

Also is this a complete load of hyperbole as they only want the rules reverting back to pre February 2024. The club were hardly bidding £300 million for Mbappe before then.

The Guardian have revealed that Sunak is blaming City's finance team for not independently verifying his costings of Labour's tax plans

Sorry - didn't realise you meant the PL. But there's the PSR rules and then there's the other, generic PL rules about acting in 'utmost good faith' (whatever that means). I mean, did Liverpool act in 'utmost good faith' when they accessed our scouting data illegally?

I don't think the PL are alleging we've broken PSR rules (which are detail-lite) but they've used the catch-all about acting in utmost good faith.

If it was Arsenal who leaked the latest story, would that be acting in good faith?

I thought that. If City can prove that Arsenal leaked details to the press then surely it is a breach of the confidentiality rules.

First the infamous letter now this. A leopard never changes its spots

Disappointing to hear Stefan on Talkshite say City probably won’t win the case.

Odious club and fan base, imagine taking defeat so badly, it really is the most pathetic response imaginable.

I've attached the PL "Owners Charter" below. The paragraph I find interesting is this bit:



For context, 'We' is each owner and the shareholders are the PL clubs. If there's any proof specific clubs are leaking things against us then those clubs are going against this charter.

I think that’s a slight misinterpretation. He said unlikely to win when discussing certain aspects of the challenge, such as voting rights.

In terms of the main related party challenge he seemed to suggest we don’t have enough info to know how likely it is of success.

Like I've said before this was leaked by others for a reason to gain public traction against us and to throw the November date for the 115 charges in with this goes to show they are trying to make the 2 separate cases look linked in some way to help there case

 

[brazilians hurt]

Classless bunch not their first offence either. They’ll get theirs sooner than later
