Man City accuse Premier League of ‘misleading’ clubs over tribunal verdict

Was never the Premier league. Was always the Red Cartel… and now things are falling apart.
Despite supporters of other clubs being idiots, especially online, it’s important for fellow Premier League clubs not to ignore this. What happened to City could very well happen elsewhere, It’s not the Prem itself, as an institution, that generates all the attention and revenue. Clubs do that and they shouldn’t be undermined with false accusations or manipulations
The PL statement sounded super delusional. The decision literally states that the rules are unlawful. That is a major finding. The rules are now null and void and need to be done all over again. They cannot merely be amended. City are due costs and compensation. There is no both sides to this. City won and this is massive.
Good job shareholders loans interest has to be a ‘fair market value’. It’s a better job clubs can’t pay themselves inflated sponsorship money. This isn’t a ‘win’ for any side, it’s merely trying to undermine the premier league before the big upcoming case in which this case has no relevance.
I said pretty much exactly this in the premier league sub yesterday and got told I clearly know nothing about competition law.
> “While it is true that MCFC did not succeed with every point that it ran in its legal challenge, the club did not need to prove that the APT rules are unlawful for lots of different reasons. It is enough that they are unlawful for one reason.”
Not a lawyer and taking off my blue tinted spectacles here, but that doesn’t sound quite right
I haven’t been bothered to read the 175 page document, mind
They’re just going full Trump. Losing and calling it fake news.
I fcking love my Club and the fact it won’t back down to to the idiots running the PL
