Is this for the 115 charges or something else?

The premier league is finished after this one…

I don’t get it. How’s it unlawful?

At this point let’s get rid of the rules for man city because it’s clear if they don’t like something they’ll just throw money to make it go away so what’s the point?

So Everton gets relegated?

Ah so they can now write blank cheques for their sponsorships… completely fair

No big surprise here. There is no limit to how much City’s ownership will spend to defeat the EPL in court so that they can keep buying trophies.

If City get off the 115 charges, I honestly think we’ll see fan protests. There’ll be a huge fallout from it.

“Man City’s new sponsor, Dubai Bingo, owned by “Sheikh Shill” with a total of 2 employees and no website, pays £100m per week, their logo will be visible on the reverse side of the City shirt.”
So glad City are fixing fairness in football. The smaller clubs will be thrilled.

You invited them here, knowing it would be unfair in the long run. The same thing happened with Chelsea before!

This is practically unrelated to the 115 charges we all know about.
This is about some rule that was put in place when the Saudi’s bought New Castle

Was there ever going to be an alternative verdict? They will be found not guilty of the serious charges and take a slap on the wrist for the rest.

Good as a Newcastle fan I hate the cartel vibe of the top 4/5 teams. Time to unleash a billion sponsor and smash the cartel to pieces

I called it from the beginning and was met with denial from rival fans – the PL seriously overplayed its hand and, imo, attempted a power move against city over bruised egos.
Fans have deluded themselves into fan fictions of all sorts re City’s punishment and more than likely will be met with disappointment. Its interesting that they are more outraged with City winning in court than they are with the PL breaching UK law specifically to selectively punish individual clubs and meddle with the competition. That in itself should get a lot more outrage than it will because, again, its City.

“*Rules deemed unlawful because they did not take into consideration*
*- interest-free loans from shareholders to clubs*
*- Likely change in the regulations could lead to City striking more lucrative deals and seeking damages from the Premier League*
*- Clubs with high levels of borrowing now in danger of breaching of Profitability and Sustainability Rules*
*- Arsenal, City’s title rivals, have borrowing of more than £200million made up entirely of shareholder loans*
*- Premier League’s stance was backed by Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, West Ham United, Brentford, Bournemouth, Fulham, and Wolverhampton Wanderers*”
“*An independent panel of three retired judges concluded that the rules were unlawful because they did not take into consideration interest-free loans which shareholders lend to clubs. The decision will spark huge concern among a number of City’s Premier League rivals — who rely heavily on such loans — and is likely to lead to the rules being changed.The panel states that, of the £4billion in total borrowing across the Premier League, £1.5billion is in loans from club owners and shareholders. If the rules are altered and commercial loan rates are now applied to these interest-free loans and have to be included in a club’s profitability and sustainability calculation, many clubs could find they are in breach of Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR).City had argued that such payments were unfair and not at market value because they were interest-free and, in some cases, did not have to be repaid at all. For a club such as Arsenal, with borrowing of more than £200million made up entirely of shareholder loans, that is a potentially seismic development*.”
Next, time to get corruption out of the Premier League.

Who would have thought it? Any business can invest what it wants into its business. The rules are as ludicrous as they sound. You’ve got Newcastle sitting on unlimited amounts of money and they can’t spend it

People in the comments here don’t seem to realise that is separate from the 115 charges that the independent panel will rule on early next year! Nothing is going to happen to them with that either to be fair because Man City’s lawyers will/are eating then for breakfast, but still.

Man City have money than any FA lawyers so just pay them off and carry on as normal.. Fa has a nice big pot for the big knobs to get fat on …
