On the one hand they're saying there's no money for the EFL if we win.Talks port saying £900 million deal with EFL off the table if we win.
Is the definition of associated party completely open-ended?
Under the current rules what is to stop the PL saying that the Manyoo/Livarpool/Arse American sponsors are not associated parties and therefore not subject to any assessment or limits for 'PSR' limits but our sponsors from Abu Dhabi are associated to our owners therefore our subject to their assessment before being cleared.
There is a certain madness to the Premier League that I am sure the City lawyers can exploit.
1) Fair value for transfer fees. Should Liverpool be allowed to sell Coutinho for £125 Million when everyone knew he was not worth it?
2) Fair value for transfer fees again. The Saudis were, apparently, willing to pay £200 Million for 31yr old Mo Salah. Seriously? So it's alright for the Red Top sides to get inflated sums but seemingly not ok for City?
3) Is this the first time in football history when a controlling sporting body wants to lower the quality of their sport? Sick of seeing Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Usain Bolt, Frankel, Red Rum, etc win. Why don't we just ban them? Let's just ban excellence.
It will go to the Times editor with a note to say your lying journos are ruining your rep and we are capable of organising a boycott. Times ownership is in play.@KS55 - I think it is clear that there is already, in general, outside of the current issue, a wide media agenda against us.What would you do with this critique when complete or is it just for academic purposes?
But Nokia fans tell me so often that they don't care about Apple.Imagine -
2000's - Nokia think Apple's investment should be restricted as they're new to the phone market and should only be able to spend what they're earning at the moment. Their deals with contractors should be subject to fair market value so they don't exceed Nokia's.
2024 - Nokia fans think Apple are cheating because they had no history with phones and clearly couldn't have revenue higher than a company that did it for so many years before.
So, nearly a third of clubs have to sell players ASAP meaning they won’t get fair market value for them. No doubt Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs & Utd will be there trying to get a deal and below market value.
Forced fire sales for Newcastle, Forest, Everton, Villa & Chelsea.
Surely things are going to get really really nasty here.
If Arsenal pinch Isaac or Watkins, those owners and fans are going to go mad.
The big bad City narrative may soon start to chill.
Nah, blokes don't wear moisturizer mate!On current trends NVidia would be the one
As night follows day ....I'm sure if it goes against City, it will leak to The Times from one of the parties....
Well you said it, dom :-)Maybe I've finally turned into one of the crackpots …..
I’m still not really convinced about coutinho dealing , there’s something about this deal and looked odd to me from day oneThere is a certain madness to the Premier League that I am sure the City lawyers can exploit.
