City launch legal action against the Premier League

The APT’s are at the heart of City’s charges. Your increase in revenues year on year were remarkable in the early 2010s. Said b4 on this forum that it’s completely understandable why City ‘might’ have historically acted in the way they allegedly did because the deck WAS/IS stacked against non-establishment clubs. Now you are at the TOP of the top table it’s only right that your club decided that attack is the best form of defence. BUT APTs if unchecked will kill any remaining semblance of competition equality unless market value is agreed (many are waiting to exploit this). City are an exemplary model of a brilliantly run Uber-elite club but many want to strangle you because of how you ‘might’ have got your top-table seat.

As far as Brighton go… we have a billionaire Brightonian at the helm who’s in it for the long term. Bloom’s granddad was deputy chairman in the 70s under chairman Mike Bamber who brought Clough/Taylor/Mullery to the club. We’re just trying to compete in a world (as previously stated) inhabited by Hedge Funds, Ex-Oligarchs and Petro-States. It’s a far cry from Joe Corrigan warming down with pints of wine while Swales and Bamber chewed the fat in the executive lounge at a dilapidated Goldstone.

The point about APT is they have nothing to do with market value. What they affect is whether an owner is deemed to be an Associated Party to a sponsor. With the implication that an individual in the UAE is associated with all companies in that area and therefore open to more scrutiny and indeed to the implication that all sponsorships will have been inflated

Easily done with a couple of threads running. I still think the results of this case should be made public but if we have won the PL probably don’t need anymore bad news being made public after the Leicester appeal and the shit they should rightfully (hopefully) get following the announcement of the rags losses.

Strange how they're just not getting that, it's almost as if they keep ignoring it in order to get the odd dig in about petro states and the like.
