City launch legal action against the Premier League

[Blue Mist]

There is a new pope??
They change more often than football managers...

Yes. Cardinal Secola has been elected.

The case is still bruin.

Don't know what you are insinuating but I am bi- polar

It seems to have gone very quiet on this and the 115 topics

I was expecting some news during the euro2024 comp

The media have got more than enough to fill their column inches and get their clicks with the Euros.

Once that has died down and there's not much going on, it will revert back to using City for clicks again.

Probably a week or two before the season starts

England fail again: it’s all City’s fault.

My guess is it will be leaked when the verdict is announced or, at the least, when it is discussed in the next meeting, as it will inevitably have to be. The reason there are no leaks now imo is that it was hugely embarrassing for the PL to have the information of the tribunal leaked, especially after the arbitrators had given permission to the PL to distribute details of the claim to the clubs confidentially.

I am guessing it has been made pretty clear to them that any more leaks would be damaging to their defence, bearing in mind part of the club's claim is discrimination and tyranny blah blah.

Is it possible both parties are made to agree on a statement after the verdict in view of the damaging nature of the initial leak, not just damage to the club and the PL, but to the arbitration process itself? I imagine the tribunal could insist on that?

A Good post, my view is that City`s charges are hugely more important, than the 115, they shake the very bedrock of English football.The silence of the media is suggestive that the penny has dropped.
The rule change is unbelievable, how can the PL lawyers not inform their members, of the consequences of the vote and then the implementation? It is quite clear we have a cartel running amok in the corridors of power. So what happens if City prove this.The PL would no longer be in charge, UEFA and FIFA would investigate their member the PL. The rest of Europe would shout for the suspension from European competitions till the case is settled, England are not very popular and we would be tarred with the same accusations as the Italians.
The Government a few years ago threatened sanctions on the FA/PL if they did not get their house in order regarding minority groups, UEFA and FIFA have threatened to suspend any league where the Government interferes. So a big thank you to the Hateful Eight who went a long way to proving that minorities are victimized.
City will not win all their cases, but what are the consequences of those that they do, the PL can not release the ones they do, as everyone including UEFA will ask, what about the ones you lost. when the Times released the news they totally fucked the PL, must have been fun for the club that did it, but it backfired badly.
My view is the PL will reduce the case to a grievance where neither body has to disclose the outcome, it being confidential even to other members. City asked for compensation, i doubt very much that it will be monetary, but City are in the driving seat.

Pep?

 

[Keeper!]

I thought something was happening but as always a new dawn fades.

Isolation , we are on our own, no love lost with the PL.

That may be overstating the importance of the club's case against the PL. But what is certainly happening is a number of clubs are "rebelling" against the PL's PSR rules, and increasingly so.

City, Forest, Everton, Newcastle, Chelsea, Villa and possibly soon United. This is enough to veto anything the PL wants to do with its seven votes, starting with that incredible vote not to disallow profit on the sale of assets between related parties. Maybe the tide is turning.

It probably is, but the importance will be what City push, and the PL try to diffuse, certainly it is more important than the 115, which is a Hodgepodge of trifling complaints tied together by a failure to comply.
