Amazing how insanely good Rodri is. City can still play well and win games but they now have a real vulnerability without him. Best player in the world despite the embarrassing Real Madrid Vini meltdown.
 
I thought the other way, they are concerned about a transfer ban. Or their owners are backing him because they are worried they might not get CL next season.

We are meant to know next month though arent we, before it gets kicked into the long grass.

I just don't think they care.... Any verdict will get appealed.... Then it'll be independent arbitration.... And then.....

Their army of mega-lawyers will just drag it all out un-endingly.
 
Indeed, clubs that had deals rejected under this (which definitely is Man City and probably Forest, Villa, Newcastle and others) could claim back from the Premier League the difference in sponsorship between the rejected deal and what they were allowed for the 3 years, plus potentially any realistic sporting losses incurred by not being able to spend the extra money at the time, and Man City could well have all their legal costs awarded. This could cost Premier League a very conservative 100 million, and therefore Spurs 1/20th of that.
Richard Masters job must be untenable now.

What it could do is open the door to Newcastle getting some very big deals from Saudi, if they are confident the current rules are also unenforceable

"The ruling could open the door for clubs who had APT deals rejected under the original rules to seek compensation from the league."

Absolute joke!

Should never have allowed state owned clubs in the first place if they wanted to maintain any form of fair competition.

They’ll use this as a lever to reduce any potential penalty from the 115 charges!
