[Football] Man City launch legal action against Premier League

[macbeth]

potentially huge news, depending on the outcome, city are a horrible club who represent everything that’s wrong with football and i hope they lose. obviously a petulant tit-for-tat in response to the 115 charges
‘tyranny of the majority’? seriously??

 

[Hotchilidog]

So basically an admission of guilt then. We have reached the supermarket tantrum "It's not FAIR!!!!!" phase of the defence

 

[southstandandy]

Typical big club mentality. It's always ME ME ME.

 

[Anger]

Lock them up! Lock them up!

 

[Pavilionaire]

This is called getting your retaliation in early.

 

[Flounce]

They’ll win

 

[StonehamPark]

A bunch of premier league clubs are siding with the premier league in this case.

Good.

Man City owners claiming discrimination against middle eastern ownership.

Classic.

 

[albionalba]

Yes, this pre-emptive tactic must have been planned if they got a sniff of upcoming PL action I suspect.....hope it blows up in their face......

 

[jcdenton08]

What they’re basically saying is “well yeah, we broke the rules, but the rules are unfair”

Horseshit

 

[SeagullinExile]

They’d obviously prefer an ‘Elite’ team dictatorship, which would mean the death of English football.

Let’s just let them f*** off to their European Super League and kick them out of the domestic game.

 

[Beanstalk]

Isn't tyranny of the majority just democracy?

Like they're arguing that every club having an even vote is an unacceptable sharing of control...

 

[brighton_tom]

The majority being all the other clubs not happy with their spending & rule breaking? Well yeah…

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Let’s just let them f*** off to their European Super League and kick them out of the domestic game.

This, and they can take Chelsea with them.

 

[keaton]

Isn't "tyranny of the majority" democracy?

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Wouldn't happen in the United Arab Emirates

 

[Black Rod]

Manchester City giving another reason why football needs an independent regulator. Wonder if this will shift Bloom and PBOBE's misguided opposition

 

[smiler]

What they’re basically saying is “well yeah, we broke the rules, but the rules are unfair”

Horseshit

Trump tactics

 

[US Seagull]

Good. It's past time that somebody stood up for the poor, down trodden, petro-state backed little clubs!

 

[Swegulls]

Fockers.

 

[portlock seagull]

Depressing. As if we didn’t need reminding Football disappeared up its own backside decades ago, the magnitude of which just gets greater every passing season.
