New PL Commercial rule passed (pg4) | City rumoured to be questioning the legality

If one of the abstainers had voted no, it wouldn’t have been approved. There normally needs to be 14 clubs saying yes, but with 2 abstaining they only needed 12 as the rule is two-thirds of those not abstaining have to approve. Fuck.

Surely you don’t take part in a vote if you consider it illegal, your legitimising their argument.
 
We've just won three fuckin PL titles on the trot, the last culminating with us completing a treble in addition to becoming European Super Cup & World Club Champions, & our sponsorship is being questioned? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠⊙⁠_⁠ʖ⁠⊙⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

We're the most successful football team in Europe, & we've won everything there is to win & our sponsorship levels STILL aren't even the highest in football, but yet the Red Top Mafia & Spuds are pushing the PL to restrict UAE sponsorship?

I can see this move being more aimed at stopping Newcastle from becoming City 2.0, but where City are concerned, this is the thin end of the wedge.

Let's say we have a barren season, who's to say the Red Top Mafia & Spuds won't demand our sponsorship revenue shouldn't be looked at & massively revised downwards, as it'd represent a fairer value?

As I said, this is aimed more at Newcastle, BUT if you connect the dots, you can see the long-term aim will be to neuter City too. Bastards!
So when the fuck are utd getting their sponsorship re-valued down to represent a fairer value on how fucking shite they are?

City will be one of the abstaining clubs.


It was reported ages ago when the PL rushed through the last set of rules after Newcastle got bought that City had been advised the new rule was not legally sound and had thus abstained.

This is a more extreme version of the same rules so City’s position will have been the same.
