City launch legal action against the Premier League

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's become abundantly clear that PSR isn't about helping clubs achieve financial stability but is actually stopping clubs like Villa, who should and even need to be able to spend now they're in the CL. And, of course, us & Newcastle.

It's more about keeping clubs in their place, rather than ensuring they have the ability to challenge without bankrupting themselves. PSR is a disincentive to ambition.

It's like saying that kids can't go to private schools unless their parents went to private schools.

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.

We'll know the outcome if the rules change so non disclosure is not appealing to anyone.

And at the same time destroying the prestige of the PL.

Plain weird.
