City launch legal action against the Premier League

[citizen_maine]

Thought it was November that was being dealt with?

Any timescale was just guess work

Big news from a source like Ziegler.

I personally don't want " some success in the arbitration hearing ", but more a total defeat for the cunts in the PL and their deliberate attempts to stymie City's operations and success.

For someone who understands the case more than me, the Times article makes reference to a 'mystery figure' in the UAE who paid city 30 million which was disguised as equity funding. Has this been debunked on here?

He's just breaking it to the red masses gently

The “some success” is a massive positive
I reckon the PL aren’t happy with how’s it’s gone, if they were it would’ve been blasted everywhere with City being denounced in the national press.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Original tweet said some successes and some failures. Dunno why they do selective quoting like they're a bad film.

Definitely he can’t say we’ve wiped the floor with them. He’d probably never work again!

The hearing has been scheduled to last ten weeks, with the commission members expected to deliver their verdict at the start of 2025. The outcome of City’s separate legal case brought against the Premier League’s associated party transactions (APT) rules is set to be revealed in the next two weeks, which would then allow the 115 charges hearing to take place earlier. There is a belief that City have achieved some successes in the arbitration hearing.

A reminder of part of the original story in The Times.

The alleged inflating of fees wasn't part of UEFA and isn't part of the PL case. Everyone accepts it as fair market. This issue with it the funding of the sponsorships.

For someone who understands the case more than me, the Times article makes reference to a 'mystery figure' in the UAE who paid city 30 million which was disguised as equity funding. Has this been debunked on here?

Yes. It's the funding for the Etisalat sponsorship in 2012 and 2013 that was paid initially by Jaber Mohamed and eventually Etisalat paid it back in 2015.

Some success and some failure, what does that mean? Surely if we’ve had success, the rules were found to be illegal and have now been abolished. If they haven’t, then it’s not a success.
