A little?If I am understanding this correctly it seems that the wording of the rules in question was the basis for the appeal to be successful, I am sure out lawyers will also be all over the wording and how it applies in our case. It would be very interesting if part of our pre hearing submittals were about interpretation of the wording of the rules.
With this development setting a precident it may be a case that some of our current charges could get dropped as they know an appeal would now apply the same standards.
While I am not sure if this represents a "home run" for us it does paint the PL as being a little incompetent in the understanding and application of their own rules.
So the PL are bad losers too, and are still spinning falsehood about the reasons for their losing?Leicester City welcomes the Appeal Board’s comprehensive decision, which supports our consistently stated position that any action against the Club should be pursued in accordance with the applicable rules.
To avoid any misunderstandings which may arise in light of the statement which has been issued by the Premier League in response to the appeal decision, Leicester City wishes to emphasise the finding of the Appeal Panel that, when considering the wording which is actually used in the Premier League rules (in accordance with established principles of English law) the Club did not breach the Premier League PSRs for the assessment period ending 30 June 2023.
In its decision, the Appeal Board (which was made of up a panel of three experienced, senior lawyers, two of whom are former Court of Appeal judges) identifies flaws in the drafting of the Premier League’s rules. In challenging the Premier League’s attempts to charge Leicester City, the Club has simply sought to ensure (in the interests of providing consistency and certainty for all clubs) that the rules are applied based on how they are actually written.
Are the red shirters fuming yet
Meanwhile Guardiola and the cheats rocket straight to the top of the league like nothing ever happened. :rolleyes:
Lining up the city whitewash.
Man City…. precedent set ?
I’m booking the day off when it’s announced for City. Multi screened, Twitter, YouTube, Radio, Rawk, Cafe, Sky.Are the red shirters fuming yet
They shouldn't need to, if all the witnesses were doing was denying allegations that were not supported by any evidence, just fishing and speculating.I know some time has passed since you posted this, but presumably (obviously?), all these witnesses will testify in the upcoming case?
I’m already seeing biased reporting on the Leicester verdict.
Sky saying Leicester have gotten away with it on a ‘technicality’
No, they shouldn’t have even been charged in the first place.
Under the premier league rules, their rules, Leicester was outside their remit.
Even the whitewashing doesn’t really cut it.
Any proper rule making body would not leave room for “technicality” get outs.
The bottom line, no matter how it’s spun, is they’re fucking wank.
