PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[55yr old teenager]

Never mind the fire sale - she is also guaranteeing City will plead for a deal before the tribunal starts, and claims none of the witnesses that appeared at CAS will appear again.

Mental stuff.

Maybe a bit slow here, but who is the "she" you are referring to?

Well done Leicester, fuck the premier league.

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.

That is damning. The PL don’t even know what their own rules are or what a breach of them is. Fair play to Leicester, leaving the PL no way to say they got off on a technicality

So glad Leicester won! Because points deductions for clubs who can afford the money is a fucking joke

 

[Don Howe]

Well i guess that answers the question "what about City?"

 

[chaddblue]

Surely this is great news

It proves that the independent panel do actually have teeth and won’t just be swayed by the PL.. like a lot of people seem to expect

If leicesters legal people can pull this off, ours will destroy them !!!!

Leicester have shot the PL in the leg. Fully expecting us to decapitate them and hang their head above the Etihad. Clowns
