"FFP was brought in to specifically stifle City and any other club that might dare to challenge the ‘Established Elite’ as they call themselves. Only the most gullible would think it was introduced to protect the league in general."

It was actually Portsmouth going into administration and dropping down the leagues due to spending beyond their means.

Is that what they made you believe?

From an emotive perspective, the opposite could be said too though. City have ultimately won the cases about their own conduct so far once it’s gone past the regulators, so there’s clearly justification for their actions.

I’m not sure it’s relevant to this particular case though. City said before the ruling change they thought the original rules were unlawful and so were the amended rules. The pl decided to put them in. City have challenged and they’ve been deemed unlawful.

The alternative is advocating for a regulator to be able to implement unlawful rules and surely no one wants that.

Arsenal would probably disagree

The Established Elite
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Last time I looked senior executives at Liverpool don't have to refer to John Henry as His Highness. What does Pep have to call City's owner?

posted on 9/10/24

I didn’t realise John Henry was a member of a Royal Family, obvious really with a name like Henry I suppose.

I admire his down to earth relationship with his subjects

The man bleating about an established elite or cartel holds the titles of Vice President, Dep' PM and is a billionaire senior royal of the ruling family of a nation state

How are Liverpool's owners part of an established elite when they bought LFC (2010) after Mansour bought City (2008)?

posted on 9/10/24

I’ve never heard Mansour bleating about anything!

"Part of City’s challenge in the APT case saw them take aim at the voting structure of the league, arguing that votes that led to rules being implemented led to a “tyranny of the majority”. This claim was rejected by the tribunal but invited the question of how else the league might adopt and enforce its rules. Perhaps by decree on the part of its champions?"

Tyranny of the majority, cartel, established elite are all narratives peddled by the club and, subsequently, their fanbase online like Boris.

Its a load of shiite and you know it. What makes it funnier is the owner of your club is the epitome of an 'established elite or a cartel.

After years of us being accused of delaying tactics, without any proof, for the 115 case; I found it amusing to learn that the Premier League has a track record of delaying tactics, and hence breaching their own rules, in the APT findings legal document.

Out of interest, how do you know how Pep and Mansour address each other other?

As long as they can financially dope themselves with a low interest loan, I don't think they care.

Who wrote that first paragraph? As that wasn’t rejected by the tribunal, they agreed that the premier league abused a dominant position.

Melts may correct me here but from what I can gather, details of the tribunal’s statement can only be released if both parties agree.

City are quite happy to have full disclosure but the PL are cherry picking what’s being released.

I wonder why?

The tribunals released, spent about three hours yesterday reading it! For some reason, the PL sat on it for two weeks….

City are all about full disclosure as we all know.

Where are you getting the tribunal didn't reject the tyranny of majority claim?

What did they have to do to gain entry to this secretive shadowy cabal?

Well it’s not a claim, it was part of city’s argument for the question of did the PL abuse their position to dominance, to which the tribunal said yes.

There seems to be so many journalists reporting on this that clearly either haven’t read or understood the judgment and that’s on both sides of the argument too.

Firstly, I haven't got a clue how Pep and HRH address each other in private.

Secondly, I didn't invent the term 'Established Elite', it was more of a media creation.

Hope that helps.
