City launch legal action against the Premier League

[jrb]

I think City have eclipsed Brexit. City are going to ruin the country as well as football.

I suppose it our fault with the migrants.

Watched Stefan on talkSPORT I wonder if the tyranny of majority vote is down to the fact you are supposed to have 14 to get a vote through, now back in Feb didnt only 12 vote yes, 6 no and 2 abstained but it was still carried! Maybe this is the point, it shouldn’t be carried unless 14 is hit. If 14 can’t be got then the vote is void until it’s reached because you could effectively have say the red tops vote yes 3 votes, City no, the rest abstain it would then be carried!

14 isn't technically the number required. It's 70 per cent majority of the teams in the league. Which equates to 14 teams.

2 abstained so 70 per cent of 18 is 12.

Meanwhile, the Premier League introduces new rules to distort the market...

Premier League: Clubs vote to trial new spending cap system

Premier League clubs have voted to bring in a new spending cap system on a trial basis for the 2024-25 season.

www.bbc.co.uk

"Premier League clubs have agreed to trial an alternative financial system which operates like a spending cap in the 2024-25 season.

The Squad Cost Rules (SCR) and Top to Bottom Anchoring Rules (TBA) will operate alongside the existing Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) on a "non-binding basis".

Teams will be allowed to spend no more than 85% of their total revenues on squads under the new system.

Meanwhile, the TBA is an anchoring model based on the earnings of the bottom club."

The exact rules to be determined once the EPL have found a way for City to have breached them, while certain other clubs haven't.

That was talked about few months ago and if it gets voted in for the 2025/26 season it will not matter if we have a sponsor to sponsor us for 2 billion a year we won't be able to spend say 1 billion and at the moment if it was this summer looking at our books we could only spend around 60/80m with those rules

I don't want to be a party pooper but listening to that, how is this explained?

Newcastle have finalised a £25m-a-year front-of-shirt sponsorship deal with the leading Saudi Arabian events company Sela. The agreement will provide an early test of the Premier League’s new fair market value commercial regulations.

That's fair market value if look at other sponsors

Does Mr Byrne have a view on Liverpool accepting blood money for the last two decades?

First question he should be asked
Of course asking it will put you in serious risk of retaliation, usually through having your address located and your house torched

Have left this reply to our Mr Darke's tweet...

"As a staunch fan of MCFC, I am not in the least embarrassed by the behaviour of our club.Now, I would be embarrassed if my clubs sponsors were found guilty of laundering money for terrorist organizations; or if my clubs fans were guilty of causing the deaths of Italian fans"

Legendary response

Ian Byrne, yet another nut job Scouser, and MP, is probably going to take it to PM’s question time. Lol! :-)

It was only a matter of time before the populist rent a **** made a comment.

Meanwhile, Manchester Mayor who was very vocal when his club Everton were under attack from the PL had said fuck all about the vicious attack on City.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

During the D Day broadcasts the words 'Rescue from Tyranny' & 'Tyrannical Rule' have been used extensively.

City have chosen their words with great prescience !!

But under these new rules will be thrown out as related party.
