Manchester City’s Financial Doping

[hydrofluoric acid]

Blimey. It’s all somewhere upstream of this thread but in short…

Manchester City’s tribunal verdict: the key questions answered

Champions are claiming success over Premier League and we look at what the ruling means and possible ramifications

www.theguardian.com

Basically City claimed a win, the PL disagreed.

It was really just a score draw.

Lawyers side with Premier League after City declare APT rule 'void'

Lawyers have shot down Manchester City's claim that the Premier League’s associated party transaction (APT) rules should be considered “void”.

Then the PL amended and re approved the rules with the support of the majority of other clubs.

Premier League clubs approve APT rule changes in blow to Manchester City

Premier League clubs approved changes to the associated party transaction rules on Friday in the face of opposition led by Manchester City

www.theguardian.com

Now City are saying this approval was void and the rules need to be completely rewritten.

So in essence, Al Mubarak is trying to make good on his threat made to FIFA (revealed in the now infamous documents leak some years back) to “rather spend 30 million on the 50 best lawyers in the world to sue them for the next 10 years” than give in.

Wait is that it? So no point deduction or anything?

Anyway thanks for info. I might give up on football now.

No you're misunderstanding. These back and forths aren't the result were waiting for. This is technicalities to try and allow appeal I think

The big result is coming in the next month.

Yeah, just attempts by City to mitigate their downside if the 115 goes against them. That result should be out in around a month…

PL should have put City under transfer Ban till result of 115.

Pl should be sued as they are allowing Man City to rebuild.

They are dragging this so they can find new ways to escape this.

notice how this verdict thing isn’t a hot topic given how terrible City have been this season. We were talking about this all week it seems in the previous 2 seasons

Isn’t that naturally how discourse is? This year it’s been focused on Liverpool as we were competing with them while City have been irrelevant. You hate your rivals and talk about their luck or them being rubbish or them cheating etc.

Doesn’t change anything for me. If they aren’t punished properly my long term faith in the PL and the sport is diminished. This topic of Chelsea and City has been a big thing for me for well over a decade.

Just waiting to see what happens.

TBF people have never discussed this a lot on this forum. The thread was actually hidden for few months for some suspicious reasons.
