It seems probable that the club’s allegation that these rules were specifically targeted at City is what was behind the recent disclosure order requiring the PL to disclose all their emails etc relating to Manchester City.

The interesting feature of that particular direction is that it came so close before the hearing that started last week. It strikes me as probable that the direction was made at a much earlier stage and was appealed, with the outcome of the case coming shortly before the arbitration.

This. I never understood why everyone thought the disclosure was for the 115 case, or why it had just happened. It has no relevance, as far as I can see, to the 115 case. And the APT leak came four months after the claim, after all. It probably came from the directions hearing for the tribunal which should have been held shortly after the arbitrators had been appointed (X.18.3):


In any case, if the arbitrators felt the need to order that discovery, the club presumably persuaded them there was a need for it. Which, I suppose, is encouraging.

Maybe because Lawton speciifcally stated it was 115 when he dropped the story might have somegthing to do with it..

I’d imagine the US billionaires also materially influence their sponsors / partners with shareholdings.

Be intereesting to see if the APL rules and definitions could be used to confirm that hedge funds and their PL club owners could potentially be Associated Parties to their sponsors.

Be a shame if they had to disclose all holdings in companies that were looking to sponsor any PL club just to check if they had any dealings with hedge funds, or pension funds or the like....

Yes, I know that was the story, but it could just as easily prove he has no idea what he is talking about. It wouldn't be the first time.
