City launch legal action against the Premier League

[Pingu the Penguin]

The more I think about it and what @The Stockport Iniesta said the more I think it's the rags supporting us in this case. If we were to win this case and prove that the Associated Party Transaction rules are complete wank, the multi-club ownership model would flourish and we'd be able to move players between the CFG for whatever fees we want.

Sir Jim has already stolen a number of our executives and has shown a desire to get into the multi-club ownership business. Would definitely make sense that him and the rags side with us to get rid of APT rules.

Quite. Look at who sponsors Nice

Interesting user name (!) and 400 posts in 16 years tells you all you need to know about this post

Seriously? Of all the posters Mr Hockin has gone in to bat for city more than most.

I also didn't understand what it meant by "a direct competitor for sponsorship".

Well we sell shite beer at the ground and they used to be sponsored by carling so that stacks up.

I just wish it would all go away.

It will, when we win, we'll be tainted for ever, who gives a fuck ?

Shoot was petit-bourgeois.

Yes. I thought as much…

The war will never be properly won now imo, we are tarnished as guilty forever more.

Who cares ? Lets just carry on winning.

Precisely - Winter is an absolute hypercritical paper boy.

Quoting the founding football league “no club should sue each other” whilst conveniently forgetting it was the PL who have charged City in the first place.

Such hyperbole from Winter without actually informing the audience on what City are suing for & the reasons why all sponsorships should be viewed through the same lens & not picked at ‘random’ by the PL.

Didn’t even bother mentioning how the Times reporter was able to get hold of the 165 page document whilst no one else was able to & referred to it as ‘a scoop’.

No balance whatsoever & can’t believe we allowed him to comment on the Treble Netflix documentary…bizarre move by the club as he’s the last reporter I would want on site.

So many of these hacks have just become part of the football establishment. Just leeches filling their faces on the football gravy train. They are supposed to challenge the establishment not become it. Apart from Martin Samuel not one of these parasites has even stopped to consider that City might be innocent.
Even after the CAS Judges exposed the UEFA case as a sham with no evidence they have not thought to challenge why the PL "investigation" has taken four years. They have never questioned why Directors of LFC, MUFC, and Spurs, have been spreading poison in their ears about City for more than ten years. Does Winter just assume that all City's senior Directors are crooks and all our main sponsors and Auditors over the past decade are complicit in a fraud involving scores of people?
