Schism at Manchester City

The first judgment in the legal battle that kept the City of Manchester against the regulations of Premier League This caused skepticism among lawyers, procedural disputes and a strange reaction. All parties claim they have won. The ‘skyblue’ club claimed as a victory that its lawsuit against the Premier for the rules governing transactions between related parties (APT) was successful, and the court managed to declare the so-called ‘loans to the shareholder’ as ‘illegal’ . For its part, the Premier speaks only of minor corrections in terms of competition. The reality appears to be seen between the two faces, where a schism is opening between the English clubs.

Both sides have their own interpretations. This was the first of two court decisions that kept English football in suspense and this first case served to position some clubs in favor of city and so on, depending on their interests. He Arsenal and the Liverpoolfor example, felt aggrieved, after the court decision, for having millionaire loans from their owners. One of the keys to understanding the litigation is that most of these loans have so far not been subject to the same fair market analysis that applies to sponsorship agreements, as the City has with companies. in its group, such as Etihad or First Abu Dhabi Bank, after the clubs, in a tense meeting, voted against including them in the Premier rules.

The challenge of city This is now causing this deep division, the consequences of which remain to be seen. Somehow, the Manchester club survived this, a coup before meeting the main failure, the alleged 115 breaches of the Premier’s financial rules. What is remarkable about this first decision is its consequences and its influence on the future decision. Among the witnesses at the arbitration, the massive division between the clubs stood out. In favor of city is Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, Chelsea and Everton. Defensively positioned to Premier League standard, West Ham, Manchester United, Liverpool, Brighton, Arsenal and Tottenham. Bournemouth, Fulham, Brentford and Wolverhampton They also support English league rules.

what is he city The denunciation as ‘tyranny of the majority’ was at the center of controversy, but at least it managed to show that the rules and processes of premier has not been handled properly. The feeling that the English league was making a mistake was reinforced. And for the champion, who does not openly believe that the Premier League should have the control that it has, it is understood, in essence, as a small victory, which will create more divisions.
