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

[Gaylord du Bois]

So every non cooperation charge they charged us with we have charged them right back with exactly the same?

There is the possibility that the PL’s credibility is shot to pieces by this. Whither 115 charges then?

Would be rendered baseless immediately once the mask has slipped and we get to know the real reasons

City,Everton,Forest,Villa,Newcastle,Wolves, not sure Leicester can yet.

Would you throw Chelsea into that hat. Severely hampered by FFP rules and may get charged on what you read.

RAWK have already decided we’ve done this because we know we are getting the book thrown at us.

What’s that saying? Clutching at straws?

Hallelujah, we've put up with shite from the Premier league and their paymasters the red 'istree clubs for years , well done to our club for standing against the actions of Richard Masters and company , hopefully the Barcodes ,Chelsea and others who have been on the recieving end of the agenda driven decisions from the premier league will stand beisde us, although i won't hold my breath.
The Premier maube now will realise they have bitten off more than they can chew ,the 115 charges are not going to be tolerated and we are not going down without a fight.
If we do win this court case against realated sponsorships and their values then we will have the Masters and his cohorts on the run , they are either going to have to back down or go the whole hog and go for us , we have bared our teeth and our not going to meekly give in and take a "pinch" like we did with UEFA , let the battle commence
COME ON CITY !!!!

The main charges are over nine seasons clearly stopping at 2018.

He’s not talking about non co-operation since that time imho.

I think the point was more that he'll probably use the non-cooperation charges as a loophole. Whilst knowing full well; the way he's framed it is misleading and letting his whole profession down(acting against the spirit of journalism itself). Then again, with the lack of balance from the vast majority of UK journalists, they're all doing a good job of showing how far the industry has slipped. Why would we expect them to care about offering balanced views, when they don't even care if they are accurate, when it's become routine that they actively try and mislead to rile up the masses for the sake of clicks and engagement? Maybe it's always been a part of the industry to some degree but it's gotten so bad, there's very few honest journalist left working in sports by the looks of things. It's full of agendas and vested interests now.

51 pages already! Can we get it to 115 by midnight!

Before Corra starts....if it's still on Tuesdays.

I really hope we’ve sued them for 115 offences with some really petty ones thrown in.
Like the ribbons on our many PL trophies were too short.

Well done City, don't back down.

Love how fuming the dippers and rag fans are.
