City launch legal action against the Premier League

[citizen_maine]

Maybe so why have we heard nought either way?

Because the findings haven't been released yet?

Or we still negotiating out 50m compo

I think the AD influence stretches across the seas to the USA, in fact about 25 percent of CFG is American owned so perhaps Mr K may be better known there than some / most US Club owners.

In short I am confident our owners can deal with business matters at least as well as our opponents.

All noted and substantially agreed.

IMO the yanks are out of their depth when dealing with ABD who are often advised by very smart yanks.

That won’t stop other yanks from attempting to damage City /ABD if their wealth is being eroded.

Possibly, although wasn't the talk that that would be a separate case?

No idea

Pay per view?

Imagine how much money the streaming company would make from us Blues. I'd pay a fucking fortune to watch that dipper snake meet his end.

There was talk but IF there's any finding likely to lead to further action by City, there will be negotiations going on to agree a settlement without another hearing which the PL, in particular, will be anxious to avoid.

If any rules have been declared illegal they will surely have to be changed immediately, or at least all the clubs will have to be immediately told the rules won't be applied. They can't leave illegal rules operating or have clubs believing that rules are being applied when they aren't, can they?

Not for me for two reasons, firstly it makes a mockery of the completion and secondly, it opens the door for every club to claim compensation. They'll most likely change them when they all meet up again

If we have been successful in overturning any key elements of these APT Rules there will be some serious "face saving" initiatives going on at PL headquarters. Perhaps they are waiting for some big news to break out across the front pages so they can slide the "Bad news for football" out of the back door and hope nobody notices.

I don't think they'll be able to 'sneak' this one out whichever way it's gone
