PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

It's not looking good for us so don't build your hopes up.

Seems legit.

Arsenal will do as they have always done. Keep shaping the rules until they find a balance that sees them win.

My takeaway is there are no APT rules now, they are unlawful and therefore all null and void. If still wanted they will have to be reworked to be non discriminatory (i.e. not fit for cartel purpose in targeting City & Newcastle) and also fold shareholder loans into PSR from 2021 at a cost of millions to said cartel.

If it is true that APT is null and void because of the unlawfulness around soft loans, then the same can be challenged for the whole FFP framework presumably. This is an absolutely vital point to clear up imho and I am not surprised City are not going to let the PL off the hook easily.

This Arteta Army clown doesn’t understand the legal process. Why has he used a picture of the Courts of Justice. What makes him think there are any charges to prove. It is not a criminal case. This is just a fake news account.

The whole ffp rules nonsense need scrapping, end of. It has caused no end of grief, time and money and for what? To stop ourselves and Newcastle beating the self entitled redshirts to the trophies. Well that's worked out well so far hasn't it?

So are we going to play in the Championship or league 1 next season ?

Wouldn’t surprise me - the Premier League is proving itself to be a real bunch of corrupt cunts and the right wing media is hand in hand with them - if we win the case they have all got too much to lose.

Northern Premier League 1st game Rammy United away with pie and peas laid on afterwards in the Railway or "The Bottom Kicker" as we called it in the 1970's:-)

Well whether they won the case or not those legal bills would still be there right? Due to the fact City went to court about it. And it wasn't a case of APT rules being enacted incompetently, City challenged them saying they were unfair (in particular the latest amendment about how these APT deals are approved and the l
process involved in that).

How much the rules will change as a result is yet to be determined - we'll have to see but my understanding is that 60% of PL clubs will need to approve any changes that do happen.

I guess if bills rack up and that cuts into PL clubs' income streams then the clubs have the right to demand a better way of working.

But for each case 50% of the bills are levied on City so the same applies to City as well I guess.

Perhaps a simplification of the rules that everyone is happy with would be the way to go rather than creating a complex legal framework that all clubs try to find loopholes in anyway (does anyone want to buy a hotel?).

My understanding is that City "Didn't take them to court" the PL took City to a tribunal
