They can get 14 votes to change the crazy rules they allowed to be set up, then that's up to them. I'd love our club to vote with them, but now the drawbridge is up, it's not our job to dig them out of the shit they happily dropped on us.I understand that view but football will become really boring if it's just the red tops +1 and City.

The original basis of calculation was somewhat obtuse and really didn't seem to meet the overall objective. The amended basis of calculation was more straightforward to use and more logical. But the point was that it was a 2-year calculation and you can't suddenly change it halfway through the period.I Agree. The amended rule was more sensible, it’s just that applying it retrospectively in effect was wrong.
Score draw indeed as we got satisfaction on sponsorship issues. UEFA treated our AbuDhabi connected deals as not related thereafter. So, of course the PL had to invent their ludicrous “associated” category.

In 2019, they didn't contest the related party nature of the AD sponsors, or their fair value or, for that matter, the issue of image rights, all of which were part of the 2014 settlement. Which makes me think the settlement agreement absolutely closed all those issues off for UEFA.
The PL, though, doesn't have any such constraints, I imagine.

Good luck to the Premier league trying to prove that sponsorships and transfer fees are not fair value!! I mean how can you tell someone they should be paying more while working within their means!!!

Don't think that's true at all, not that I necessarily understand everything. I'm certainly still confident.So - those who understand all this - are we feeling a bit negative about the outcome now? it seems a bit glum on here??
Good to hearDon't think that's true at all, not that I necessarily understand everything. I'm certainly still confident.
