All very tedious ✅
Good for the sport ❌

But this isn't based on the new rules so the rules are still in place. Kind of have to wait for the next verdict

A PL win on APT2 wouldn’t also make APT1 a win, too. It would mitigate the embarrassment, though, & perhaps justify the rush to make new rules in Nov. APT2 won’t have any impact on potential claims from Dec 2021-Nov 2024. And APT2 won’t have anything to do with Everton/Forest PSR cases, either!

Totally agree but I felt like the reporting of the last result was more about the existence of APT being lawful or unlawful so this kind of leaves it neither here nor there in some ways in that sense. Definitely get what you are saying though

How is masters still in a job? Just seems to be cock up after cock up

Couldn't everton and forest inflated their sponsorship deals to comply with PSR. Finch Farm sponsorship for example

mjslater.bsky.social•17 days ago

They might (although it’s hard to think of any APT deals Forest could have tried) but Everton’s Usmanov deals were approved, not rejected. And there’s no suggestion bigger deals were rejected by PL. So how could this ruling on APTs from 2021-24 have made their PSR positions worse? It’s a red herring

Matt...Do you think The Friedkin group are likely to seek compensation for Everton or are they more inclined to let sleeping dogs lay?

Scandalous what went on with Everton especially considering Masters originally recommended a 17 point deduction.

mjslater.bsky.social•17 days ago

On what grounds would they seek compensation?

francios-1878.bsky.social•17 days ago

On loss of points and prizes monies potentially?

mjslater.bsky.social•17 days ago

But on what legal grounds would that claim be made? Everton didn’t breach the PSR threshold because certain APT deals between 2021-24 were downgraded. The only matter of dispute between EFC & PL is around when club could capitalise its building costs/debt. Nothing to do with this City case.
