PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[cheekybids]

But they have been adopted. So they would have to be changed. This happens by a vote in general meeting. What happens if the PL doesn't get enough votes from the clubs to change?

Just a theoretical question out of interest. To see if seven clubs could cause a lot of nuisance if they aren't listened to .....

Yeah I was thinking you go back to the vote where they were adopted.

Atoma est……

Eureka! Now I understand it.

The PL have a top KC.

i know they do , it was tongue in cheek but you have to question the veracity of the kc based on the pls case with leicester and the fact he didnt advise the pl that the language in the rules was shaky at best.

Yes, I think the point is that the "spirit of the rules" has died a death. The rules are the rules as written. If someone does something not against the actual written rules, it doesn't matter what the "spirit" is. The wording of any contract, any rule is important.

Yup. The PL rules are to be applied in accordance with English law. The law has a ‘golden rule’ that documents must first and foremost be interpreted literally according to what the words state. The PL talking about ‘the original intention’ of the rule is just guff.

it’s actually comical they are asking him to comment on this. They might as well ask him to explain quantum mechanics in Latin.

They're halfway there, quantum is a Latin word.

Maybe. That's possible, I suppose.

I’m up for the ceo role & showing my suitability for making decisions on the hop.

Well, he may have done but was ignored. Masters is quite capable of that. I bet he has warned them of the deficiencies of the 115 case.

which brings me back round to the original point lol

Maybe he did, just the PL decided to go ahead anyway.

Anyway, one thing this shows is that if anything goes against the club with the PL's allegations, it will be appealed with a good chance of being overturned.

Iirc, Everton's appeal was (partly) successful due to two wrong legal interpretations, Leicester's has just been. It's not a very good success rate for getting things right the first time, tbh .....

Edit: Damn, I was too slow. Apologies.
