[Football] Man City launch legal action against Premier League

[Algernon]

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.

It's the financials that are driving that.
They're not interested in sport, competition, or fairness, and I can imagine football is covered only under "any other business" at meetings.
Wankers, I think I'd rather have dirty Leeds in the Premier League.

But where does it end?
The money to be made is astronomical and it'll always appeal to the greedy speculators as well as fans. The big 6 will perpetually be bought and sold.

This was inevitable.

Crooks in this case with limitless money, 'going on the front foot'. The oldest technique in the book.

indeed

 

[brighton_tom]

Another time wasting tactic to take up Premier League resources no doubt, and kick the decision on their 115 charges down the line.

 

[Mackenzie]

...and in a single stroke, Manchester City become pariahs of the English football system. A proud day to be a blue I'm sure.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

This is hilarious

Isn't there rules stating clubs can't do this sort of thing?.

 

[pasty]

God I hate that shitty f***ing club and their shitty f***ing owners.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

there is also this odd line of sports reporting in the past 6 months of spinning it as City/City fans are the victims

This is from the same reporters that have blindly ignored the charges they are facing whilst saying how brilliant city are

Henry Winter is the worst offender I've seen

 

[macbeth]

not at all deluded

Lot's of victims on here https://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/...gal-action-against-the-premier-league.364892/, talk of "fighting back"! Seriously these blokes have no shame...

The PL has many millions available to employ absolutely top lawyers.

City’s owners have more than a trillion dollars.

 

[southstandandy]

It's like the BIG Members club. Might as well get their cocks out and see who's got the biggest and give the title to them.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Does that matter in a private members club who have no real appeals body ?

 

[Triggaaar]

City’s owners have more than a trillion dollars.

And how much do top lawyers charge? If they charge billions, then you have a point. If they charge a million, then the PL can afford them too.

Also

I imagine 16/17 clubs that are for FFP will happily sue the PL of they give in

 

[studio150]

Time for the other 19 PL teams to vote to throw City out of the PL, and they can then join the South Arabia League

 

[Flounce]

Those City relegation odds are starting to look attractive but the legal clusterfuck that would follow it will be box office

I suspect Newcastle might side with them. 18 v 2?

Chelsea /Everton maybe

You won’t get long out of a top law firm for a million quid.

I did hear a rumour Liverpool & Arsenal have been asked if Man City are stripped of their titles would they accept. The players of Liverpool & Arsenal said no as it’s not the players fault and they earned it on the pitch.
