‘tyranny of the majority’? seriously??

If the rules are unfair how comes they've won the league four times on the trot?
Indeed. 'We haven't broken any rules. But on a totally separate point, we're suing you because we think that the rules that we haven't broken, are unfair on our club.'
If you haven't broken the rules, and you've managed to win an unprecedented 4 titles in a row, what exactly is your problem with the rules?

Unlimited funds and the best lawyers
This was inevitable.
Crooks in this case with limitless money, 'going on the front foot'. The oldest technique in the book.

Spot on really. And I think if they win this and sue the league that's the end of the Premier League, and probably the end of domestic English football in general.
Half would f*** off to some tik tok streamed Super League funded by oil barons and New York financiers, whilst the other half would need to be re-absorbed into the Football League. Both sets of those clubs would owe hundreds of millions to TV companies and it would likely bankrupt those who weren't part of a new Super League, where those "super clubs" would be fine to cover it with their new windfalls.
The Premier League pretty much have to get through this, and punish City or that's that.
The PL has many millions available to employ absolutely top lawyers.

Naive to think they’ll be able to compete and win against an oil state…imo
Of course I hope they do

Yep, I mentioned elsewhere but imagine being so oblivious to the world you live in that, on £400k a week, you talk about how useful the Saudi money would be.

There comes a point where both sides are employing top KCs and spending more doesn't really do anything.

Don’t most people tend to live to the limit and beyond their salaries? Although it would be hard to do that with the money top footballers earn I accept

You’d hope, we’ll find out over the next few years no doubt
Could be interesting. I refuse to watch any game of football that features Citeh, or Chelsea and Hove Albion. However, if Citeh are involved in a league match on TV against a team like Rotherham, or Dagenham and Redbridge, I might watch it.

The so called top English clubs were crying out for an elite league where they could make as much money as possible promising the highest quality football in the best league in the world, hence the Premier League was born. Along came Leicester and smashed the elite, oh they did not like their elitism challenged.
The Premier league money was not enough to feed the beast, so they duck and dive to keep within rules they initially agreed too, thinking they could not be challenged.
The world is not enough apparently, City and the rest are nothing but rat snakes, the only animal that will attempt and sometimes eat itself.
