The budget was 8m.  They’ve spent 45m.  So each club will have nearly 2m less income.  It would be amusing if this 2m put all 20 clubs into breach of the financial regulations and all 20 appealed…

They would literally be eating themselves, hilariously.

For all the hearing was confidential, if there was going to have to be a change in the rules (i.e. if the PL lost some or part of the argument) they'd have to inform the member clubs and it's inevitable at least one of those clubs will leak it. If the PL "won" then I suppose they could still call a meeting to report that to the clubs but they presumably wouldn't have to as it'd just be business as usual?

It’s such an impeccable racket. I was thinking spot forest and how they got done, it’s really bizarre promoted clubs have less FFP leeway when promoted, how to be anything but a yo-yo club in such situations? The incumbent advantage is monumental and it’s why most of the clubs love these rules you are basically protected from competition weather your a cartel club or an established mid table club. 

Didn't the American owners club want rid of promotion/relegation ? They almost have it.

Yeah, that's how I read it too. A meeting is much more likely to indicate Man City have won and the rules need to be changed, which can only be done with the agreement of the clubs, otherwise it would just be business as usual.

So what happens if City win and PL need to change some rules. But the other clubs won't vote to change those rules?

Affected clubs, like Man City and us, would probably be able to apply for an injunction or something.

This is a regularly scheduled shareholder meeting.

I recon all the rumours about this week was someone taking a guess that we’d hear something due to the scheduled meeting. 


Yeah, just saying the fact there’s a meeting doesn’t tell us anything about the outcome.

That's right, however if the Premier League are going to have to change their rules on APTs then that has to be relayed to the other clubs and that will leak out pretty quickly.

 

If it doesn't then we can assume either the result of the arbitration hasn't been decided yet or the rules are staying as they are.

If there is a victory for City surely there can’t be a rule that supersedes this ?

They’ll try and this is the part us, Villa and City need to steam in to shut them down. Any attempt to try and re-handcuff teams looks beyond suspect and collusion.
