What a load of ****ing bollocks the PL are spouting and this statement makes me even more want them to lose APR v2 lose.

The ****ers think they can do whatever they want and without consequence. I hope the legal teams rip them a new one and masters has to resign the leech that he is.

They will lose APT 2. They have called the November 2024 changes - "amendments" rather than "new."

You cannot "amend" unlawful rules by changing specific sections. You have to rewrite the lot. The blue pencil test - strike out the offending provisions are the rest lawful? Answer is no.

No. But the actual legal decision is linked.

Basically confirms that PL could not just amend the 3 instances where original rules were found to be unlawful and they would then be okay. However PL in their statement are now arguing that league has voted in a new set of rules (in which League did just make amendments), which haven't been looked at by the Tribunal, so everything is okay.

I am no lawyer but it seems madness by the PL and just a further waste of PL (the clubs) money in legal fees defending these rules against objections.

Seems like now is the time for a complete review of the financial rules, preferably by the new Government Watchdog, with input from clubs and supporter groups, to produce a set of rules that meets the requirement, followed by an initial review by all clubs legal teams, then review by an independent legal tribunal, before publication. It would be a far better use of legal fees than what is happening at the moment.

It should start from the premise of why we need financial rules (ensure club survival and/or promote fair competition?) and then devise the rules accordingly.

Of course it may take a while to do this and while they do it clubs should be allowed to spend as they see wish.

Indeed, I never saw the link on the page and deliberately didn't read the Pl's statement, because I knew they were liars many years ago.

The ruling confirms that applying the blue pencil test changes the substance of the contractual rules and does not make them any less void.

APT 2 will just confirm that the amendments make no material difference. They are unlawful and void.
