I wonder how the Jewish side of the club will react to being owned by an Arab.

Verdict announced in Man City’s Premier League legal casepublished at 14:58 British Summer Time

The verdict has been announced in Manchester City’s legal case against the Premier League over its associated party transaction (APT) rules.

City had some complaints upheld, with two aspects of the APT rules deemed unlawful by a tribunal.

But the Premier League says the tribunal rejected the majority of Manchester City’s challenges and “endorsed the overall objectives, framework and decision-making of the APT system”.

APTs are aimed at the value of sponsorship deals with companies linked to clubs’ owners.

This case is not directly related to the Premier League disciplinary commission which will hear 115 charges against City for allegedly breaching its financial regulations, some of which date back to 2009.

They are saying its about 50:50

The unlawful elements causes real problems for the EPL - apparently it opens up the prospect that damages can be claimed by all the clubs against the EPL.

My guess all along has been that their “rules” will have loopholes that expensive lawyers could manoeuvre through.

As in guilty BUT

If Eastleigh hadn’t lost in injury time against Southend (We were on the bus back to the pub at that time) we could have gone and worshipped at the feet of “The World’s Greatest Coach.”
