PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Bournemouth Blue]

Can’t be bothered to read 7499 previous posts, but has anyone thought about City claiming legal costs and claiming defamation from the Premier League for the damage to the club’s reputation, should City be exonerated? Of course they won’t, but it would be fun to penalise the four clubs threatening to sue for compensation if we are found guilty

It's very technical how they decide legal outcomes.
It's above the levels of you and I, unfortunately.

Snailed it..

I'm not young, just couldn't stand Star Wars, Star Trek on the other hand......

Aren’t those rules already there, the loser picks up the majority of the costs?

The problem is that the PL always claims a win even when it has found to be acting unlawfully and unfairly. Apparently this is the new way legal disputes are settled. When you lose the case you just claim your lawyers won more of the debates and everything is perfectly fine. A bit like the Yorkshire Ripper won his serial murders case when the police dropped the motoring charge against him for having false number plates!

I can see it now…
PL lose the case…
Next Shareholder meeting “Right lads, we may have lost, but can we have a vote to see if we should pay City’s costs??”
19-1 against us and the vote implies that we pay them…

The next vote will be for 114 ;-)

This is interesting:

"Sources have told Football Insider the Premier League could now propose new rules are brought in [after the 115 case] to ensure the majority of its legal fees are paid for by a club if they are proven to have committed a financial breach."

Maybe they could better put themselves in a position that they don't have to keep charging clubs with "financial" offences .....

Intersting approach.

Presumably they’ll be cool with covering our costs incurred to repel this malicious prosecution.

If you don't like paying costs, don't bring lawyers into the equation. Especially not anyone over the rank of solicitor, and they are expensive enough.

Football managed for well over 100 years without all these fucking complicated financial regulations that no fucker understands. Once you need to start instructing KCs and their ilk to resolve questions you are essentially writing a cheque for ££££££££££££££s.

This legalistic approach to what is a game is a bit silly, quite frankly. The rules need to be massively simplified and their meaning should be obvious to all, not a mystery wrapped in an enigma. If the rules can't be understood by a reasonably intelligent layman, they are too complex.

Have you been on the joke thread in the last 6 months. From what was my favourite thread, it is now on a par with the political sub forum.
Absolutely boring, I have to do a ;-) emoji to get a smile on the joke thread now;-)
