    You will have to ask Munse and the obsessed barcodes.

    give a day tho, we’re busy booing Pickford, fighting each others and singing 10 German bobbers at SJP last night.

    Dunno if you noticed but the PL took load of points off us, we appealed, had it reduced and still stayed up.

    I assume because I can't be arsed to read up any of it, that the City owners are suing the Prem because they want to spend their money, by whatever means how they chose? So does this come down to some element of business law, where they will ask is any other industry subject to these rules, if not, then under what law do they exist? I assume because they will argue they are being prevented from their business growing by splashing the cash when they want, how they want and as long as they can prove they have that money, then what's the problem, unfair maybe, illegal not, so is 'unfair' discrimination, I'd say yes, we've all seen the taunts about arab owned clubs. They'll win and own the rest of the league for the next decade at least, resulting in more sucky tears. :bandit:

    No, they are claiming that it's illegal/unfair to stop a related party sponsoring a club.
    Think of it like you owning the Gills and your brother/cousin owning British Aerospace, they would not be allowed to sponsor you kits under the present laws.

    we have already stood up to the PL and it’s corruption.

    you cry like a bitch about VAR and City spending, if the rules are relaxed I’m sure the owners will let you spend, being held back by spending 800m rather than 1bn is what did for Klopp

    Ah I see, so a bit like the people who make inhalers, wanting to sponsor Liverpool kits?

    Some of you have a really odd outlook on this

    I do not agree with FFP but what I think is totally irrelevant

    the rules were in place
    If any club wishes to challenge all this there are processes to follow

    What they shouldn’t do is flout the rules (no matter how stupid) then complain or fight when caught

    they should have followed the correct process whilst adhering to the existing rules otherwise chaos will reign

    I believe City have every right to challenge the decisions but suing the league doesn’t sit right with me - what next ?

    football seems to be moving further and further away from the game I once loved

    So you'd be happy with new rules coming in that gave every Prem team the same transfer and wages budget per season? ... that would actually be 'financial fair play' in absolute terms ...

    Now I know that ain't gonna happen by the way ... but it would at least be more equitable in terms of the whole of the league rather than what seem like some rather arbitrary financial parameters that only the very biggest clubs can satisfy without risking sanctions - irrespective of how wealthy their ownership actually is ...

    I cannot give a fck tbh.

    Usually in the closed season we talk about the garden or Luv starts a thread about knitting or something. Maybe a bit of transfer bollox and Fosse trying to convince himself the yoof are better than half the squad that have fcked off from Lesta.

    Instead we've got 3 months of this **** to look forward to.

    Here's a thing, keep it on the Pool board. Anyone wants to know can come over for a cry.

    The tears are starting to develop nicely .... once the rules are ruled illegal they'll all drown us, but they won't have a leg to stand on... the vote though lol.... are Turkeys going to vote Christmas.

    These so called great clubs are terrified of being exposed as the football equivalent of transvestites competing in women's sports.

    used to be good fun wondering who’s getting doxxed, who’s flouncing etc during pre season. Interesting threads going up, fake deaths etc etc

    Pool fans just want to talk about Man City

    Had a quick Google mate and 17 out of 20 PL clubs are owned by billionaires or consortium’s of billionaires. IMO this is where your argument falls down, as if the rules are relaxed then Leicester (and others) will likely be in exactly the same place with bigger clubs still outspending you. All that happens is the level of debt clubs carry just gets greater and it’s more likely owners start to walk away when they realise that it’s unsustainable.
