Normal businesses don't stop sponsoring or commercial deals, and don't have the people wanting to do these deals, having to justify the money they are wanting to invest. Total restraint of trade and anti-competitive. We will see what happens though, but I'll be very surprised if City don't win their case. If they don't then I'm pretty sure that City will take it further as already mentioned above Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's seen that allowing us and Man City almost unlimited sponsoring would make things less competitive then I'd guess rules within business law could be used to, in their eyes, even things up a bit.

Keegans Export Posted Friday at 07:45 Share Posted Friday at 07:45 15 minutes ago, andycap said: Has paqueta admitted it? Tonali and toney did so it was looked at quicker. No, he's denied it from the start. In the short-term that works out for him because he's (obviously) free to carry on until the case against him is proven. The problem for him is that if he is guilty then the punishment is going to reflect the fact that he fought it. For example, one of the reasons the FA didn't add any additional punishment to Tonali's ban was because the only evidence they had that he had been gambling in the UK was provided by Tonali himself. He had also cooperated fully with the Italian investigation once he'd been made aware of it. I'm not sure what happened with Toney's case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted Friday at 07:47 Share Posted Friday at 07:47 We can't go into the weekend without a rumour. So here's one. £60M for Dwight McNeil. I've just made this rumour up, however feel free to discuss Howe losing his mind and how McNeil would make a great signing for anyone other than us.

You're not getting it, currently us and City are being stopped from doing deals because they are associated parties. Rules that were only brought in as a direct result of our takeover to stop accepted business practices. Stagecoach were stopped as a result of affecting other companies business and these rules were brought in directly to stop our business also. You can't do that in this countries competition laws and there is nothing relating to associated party deals for other 'normal' businesses either as I stated.

There is nothing in business laws about salary caps etc but we have them in many sports.

The salary cap has obviously been agreed with unions. No the Premier League brought in a rule not a law. That rule has to match up with what is actually in British law. Man City have taken a case to state this is not the case. You seem to be getting confused that the Premier League rules are law and they most certainly are not. That's why it's being challenged Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear you’ll see any sponsorship deals that originate in the gulf area or that can be linked to PIF being against the more onerous APT rules and not being allowed.
