City launch legal action against the Premier League

[StillBluessinceHydeRoad]

Not sure if it's already been addressed but even if we're successful in the legal case against the PL, won't we still have to comply with UEFAs FFP rules?

So this unlimited spending bollocks is just that.

UEFA doesn't have any regulations which deal with "associated" parties, in UEFA's regulations they don't exist.

Planning to discuss this with Simon on Tuesday. He seems to have some strong feelings!

Make sure you reign the fucker in!

I hope you point out to him that for a man who tries to portray intelligence, his spelling and grammar on Twitter is appalling.

Funnily enough just the problem I was thinking of. I wonder if the PL has ever considered whether football clubs might be involved (unwittingly or not) in money laundering or helping transfer funds to terrorist states/organisations).

I’m pretty sure that all transfer have to be ratified by the home association and cleared by FIFA who check for funds and ensure that the money is legitimate Not to say that money couldn’t be funnelled through sponsors although that is the job of the auditors

This is beginning to look like a case of: 'You come at the king, you best not miss.'

Absolutely. As far as I understand it we don't have an issue with the PL rules as they were prior to the latest change. What we're apparently challenging is the associated party rules introduced in February this year.

Maybe we’ve done some hacking of our own : )

I’m sure we may have some contacts in a nation’s security service that we can on

If the PL refuse to hand over all the messages does that mean we can charge them with non cooperation? ;)

Which is strange as Simon invested all his money into Palace to try and grow the club and had no issue with it when he himself was doing it. But now its the end of the world apparently. Strange that…

Who exactly requires the emails to be handed over? And to whom must they be handed? A strange omission.
