  1. “You can’t win Darth. If you strike me down and I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.”

  2. Surely people should be happy that the **unlawful** rules will be formated so that they will be lawful, right?

    Or has nothing about these cases ever been about the legality for rivals and their fans. Makes you think🤔

  3. These clubs were in favor of the PL for this case:

    * Arsenal
    * Manchester United
    * Liverpool
    * West Ham
    * Brentford
    * Bournemouth
    * Fulham
    * Wolves

  4. I can only imagine the head loss if we beat the 115, win the league again and then sign a massive player like Musiala or Wirtz next summer. Oh it’ll be glorious…

  5. Not a city fan but I couldn’t give a toss if sponsorship deals are inflated or not. If your owner is prepared to bankroll the club who gives a shit?

    Most clubs are just upset cos they haven’t got a sugar daddy to throw money at a problem.

    The bigger issue for me is something like what the Glazers have done. Riddled the club with debt and taken dividends out of the club without actually putting money into it.

  6. When you read the PL statement it doesn’t ready like this at all. It essentially reads like we won 2 minor claims that will be easily fixed.

    Also find it funny that they slapped us with about 35 charges of not cooperating with their investigation but we’re found of delaying their process of applying their own rules.

  7. It’s actually a win for the Premiership. Who are writing these articles and headlines?

  8. Surely fans of other clubs should be elated? The rules were quite literally unlawful and being applied with an unfair bias according to the ruling. So surely /r/soccer will rejoice now that justice has been served, since they care so much about how everyone has to play by the rules 🙂
