Seriously mate? You said : How is an owner meant to borrow it from the bank if it's beyond the amount a bank is willing to lend? We're talking (at your insistence) about scenarios where a club has been loaded up with an unsustainable and unhealthy amount of debt, so why are you now pretending otherwise? I also provided you with examples of owners lending money to clubs with interest. Why they do it is irrelevant, the fact is they do. Yes, they could still technically loan the money interest free or at below interest rates - the ruling only seems to say it has to be included in the psr calculation. But why would they if PSR will still treat it as having the market interest rate? It would cost them money personally with no sporting benefit to the club. The exception of course is a good owner that is trying their best to put the club in a healthy financial position (in real terms, not in psr terms), but you've already ruled out the possibility of genuinely good owners by your insistence on making it a conversation about owners turning on a dime and putting clubs under by demanding full repayment of their loans, or randomly somehow retroactively making an interest free loan an interest bearing loan. I'm genuinely starting to think that you're just on a wind up at this point, so I'm going to stop replying
Not strange at all. We've been removed because we're not cartel supporters In all seriousness I was just curious where it was being reported as I couldn't see it anywhere but there are plenty of publications hidden behind paywalls and thought it might have been the M*il as they hate Forest
How are they supposed to lend it? They're not.Why would they do it if it's added on? They shouldn't. The rules are to protect the clubs from this reckless overspending that they cabt afford. Unfortunately, good owners are under the sane rules as bad owners. There's no special rule where you're exempt from the rules because your owner is considered good!
Yes but it's also setting legal precedent to allow the league to strengthen the regulations in a more legal way. They have upheld the league's right to protect fair competition so now the league has to find the way to rewrite it's rules to resolve the situation. They have given city 2 rulings, one of which is about shareholders giving clubs loans and the other about the rules put in place in feburary to strengthen the apt rules already there. The prem will come upwith something and 14 clubs will have to vote it in. If, of course 14 honest clubs can be found. Chelsea, Everton and Newcastle all testified on city's side. All special interests.
Fair Play to City and their lawyers. If they can get out of this bind whilst making the PL look like amateurs the whole integrity of the league is brought into disrepute.
PL breaking their own rules. Disgusting Arsenal maybe getting stripped of the dog and the charity shield , cheats
There's usually an element at least of piss taking in all my posts, I'm a sarcastic c*nt. But f*ck the PL, they've killed the game for cash 30 odd years ago and now it's coming home to roost. I love it genuinely.
Matt Lawton making most of shagging a bird from Arsenal hierarchy Manchester City tell rival clubs: Premier League misled you over verdict Not quite sure what you mean haha
Not only is it an international break, but it is an international break where suddenly everyone becomes a legal and financial expert.
As far as I can tell the outcome of the case doesn't seem particularly seismic. City had some victories and the league had some victories. Obviously City hope the outcome, and the press coverage, will help them with the bigger one down the line.
It’s like Johnson calling out Starmer in the media today for being greedy. At the end of the day, having welcomed the foxes into the henhouse the chickens can’t really be surprised when they get eaten.
