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

Apologies if linked already but the, brief, discussion at the start of the Price of Football pod is a good analysis of what's going on. Aided by the fact Kevin Maguire had access to the 165 page doc


So Kevin Maguire has said that under the associated party rules min 3.20 , neither City or Newcastle can be sponsored by any businesses in the UAE or Saudi but other PL clubs can ?? Have i understood that correctly?? But other clubs can and have been sponsored by companies and even by their owners. And its backdated by three years. Clearly that is fundamentally wrong!
 
Good listen, balanced and refreshing to hear.

Interesting that "an element of whataboutery [in the document]" is mentioned. How do you demonstrate inequality or unfairness without being accused of indulging in whataboutery? Bloody impossible surely.

Agreed. Otherwise known as "comparisons" and "context".
 
Let's hope Der Spiegel don't get hold of the document, edit it and then forward the edited version on in an email which will probably read " City have took the piss, they have you know" and that gets picked up from the British media and passed as gospel.

(Isn't that what happened with the "incriminating" email saga )
U missed out sent it to city only for the document to be hacked from city account by scousers and then sent to media ;)

If this is seriously the issue, then surely there's zero chance we're losing this.
 
The Syed article is racist from start to finish. It is based on a false premise that City are "run by Abu Dhabi" when the club is owned by Sheikh Mansour as a personal invesment and Silver Lake. Even by his standards it is despicable. Didn't he previously liken City fans to sewer rats?
No surprise coming from that cockroach.

Mandatory listening for fans currently frothing at the mouth that we're about to turn the PL into a completely lawless wild west. Thanks for sharing.
