Man City, Premier League claim win in Associated Party case https://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/_/id/41661277/man-city-premier-league-claim-win-associated-party-case Manchester City and the Premier League both claimed victory on Monday after an Arbitration Panel released its judgement on a legal challenge against Associated Party Transaction (APT) rules. Associated Party Transactions relate to sponsorship deals between a club and other companies which may be linked, such as City and the United Arab Emirates' Etihad Aviation Group. The case, which is unrelated to hearing into the 115 charges for allegedly breaching the Premier League's financial rules, saw City claiming "discrimination against Gulf ownership" and that the rules were "unlawful." The Panel upheld two of City's complaints in relation to shareholder loans and how Fair Market Value (FMV) is assessed, while all other challenges failed. City's bid to get the APT and FMV system completely changed was rejected, with the Panel saying it was a crucial to the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules. On one count, the Panel said that the rules are "unlawful ... because they exclude from their scope shareholder loans." This brings into the picture millions of interest-free loans which have been issued to clubs by wealthy backers. Everton, Brighton & Hove Albion, Arsenal and Chelsea are all reported to have enjoyed loans running into hundreds of millions of pounds. City, meanwhile, have no such debts and argued that it was unfair that other clubs could gain a financial advantage by discounting such loans from FMV assessments, which may determine interest should be paid. The second count covered how the Premier League determines FMV when assessing an APT. The Panel ruled that it was "unlawful" that a club is unable to comment on the data used by the Premier League before a decision is reached, that the procedure was unfair, that City were not given the opportunity to challenge the judgement and it took too long. The Panel also said it was unfair to place the burden of proof on the club when demonstrating Fair Market Value, and this should fall on the Premier League. The Premier League had rejected two APTs, with Etihad and First Abu Dhabi Bank, with those both now set aside. The APTs will have to be reassessed when the Premier League has looked again at how it applies its APT rules. However, the major win for the Premier League was that APTs as a concept were supported. Had the Panel said the system was completely unlawful it would have enabled City, and other clubs under similar state ownership such as Newcastle United, to make sponsorship deals to any valuation.

will be surprised if we do not try for Osimhen in January we do not have a lot of options in then maybe we just wait until summer

roflmaooooooooooooooooooooooooo wtf little late lads

‘Nasty’ 90s football star ‘tried to rip my mouth open’, reveals Man Utd legend Paul Scholes https://metro.co.uk/2024/10/03/nasty-90s-football-star-tried-rip-mouth-open-reveals-paul-scholes-21726843/ Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has branded Dennis Wise a ‘nasty piece of work’ and says the former Chelsea midfielder ‘tried to rip my mouth open’ during a Premier League match. Discussing the toughest teams and players they came up against during their illustrious careers on the Football Greatest’s podcast, Scholes and fellow United hero Nicky Butt both landed on Wise. Wise was known to be one of the fiercest competitors in the Premier League in the 1990s and clashed with both Scholes and Butt at different times. Butt was sent off for lashing out at Wise in Manchester United’s shock 5-0 defeat to Chelsea in 1999 but insists the Stamford Bridge star was to blame. Wise clattered into the United midfielder midway through the first half and Butt then reacted by kicking out at Wise right under the referee’s nose. That sparked ugly clashes between the two teams, with United accusing Wise of making the most of the incident and essentially getting Butt sent off. Reflecting on the incident, Butt said: ‘He [Dennis Wise] was horrible with me. He got me sent off. He pinched me in the balls and got away with it. ‘He got away with murder. He two-footed me in the head and when we were on the floor he’s grabbed my balls. I should’ve booted him or punched him because I got sent off anyway. I only gave him a little knee. ‘He was a wind-up merchant but when you meet him outside of football he’s actually a decent bloke. ‘He worked at Newcastle while I was there and he’s a good bloke to be fair, but on the pitch he was nasty.’ Scholes also clashed with Wise, who earned 21 caps for England, and says he would do the ‘weirdest things ever’ during games. ‘Dennis Wise was horrible, weren’t he? He did some of the weirdest things ever,’ Scholes told Butt on the podcast. ‘I remember rolling on the floor with him during a game – not fighting or anything – and he’s got his finger in my mouth. ‘He’s trying to like rip my mouth open. He was a nasty piece of work.’ Wise spent most of his career at Chelsea and won several trophies at Stamford Bridge, including two FA Cups. He also played for the likes of Wimbledon, Leicester City and Millwall. As well as making his presence felt on the pitch, Wise, now 57, was also not afraid to clash with his own team-mates. Chelsea legend John Terry revealed in 2020 that Wise had once grabbed him by the throat in front of the rest of the squad. ‘I remember I was in the first team and got a Champions League bonus and I went out and stupidly bought a car with the bonus I was on,’ Terry told the Footballer’s Guide to Football podcast. ‘I was 19 at the time. I come in with my car and Wisey got me up round the throat in the corridor in front of everyone: “Who do you think you are? Go and take the car back”. ‘So he made me go and take the car back, which I lost money on, took me around and helped me find a house, buy a house, so it was the best bit of advice. ‘I was embarrassed at the time but it was the best bit of advice that I could have had. ‘I’m really grateful for all those little bits along the way, guiding the younger players, and he always not only had his eye on the first team but had an interest in the younger boys.’

So which CF do YOU want? Here is every other remotely (and a couple are basically impossible) available CF valid (IMHO) option who is valued at or over the ones (Nico, Samu, Duran) you already mentioned. in order of valuation: Lautaro Martínez (very very unliekly Inter would sell him) Victor Osimhen Alexander Isak Viktor Gyökeres Dušan Vlahović Ollie Watkins Loïs Openda Benjamin Sesko João Pedro Jonathan David Evan Ferguson Mikel Oyarzabal Victor Boniface Santiago Gimenez Brian Brobbey Elye Wahi Omar Marmoush is another option perhaps.

Nkunku is a not a 'lead the line' CF he is more of a fox in the box type of SS/AMF

Nico likely suspended as well, for 3 to 5 games for slapping one of the Forest cunts

I was going to post on that earler but got busy with my work he probably gets a 3 to 5 games ban which super fucks us

So utterly unhappy with this and the Palace home draws, especially this one. 4 dropped points that may fuck us hard come the blooming of the darling buds of May heralding the season's end days.

Gravenberch has been playing a deeper defensive role this season and has been outstanding. Mac Allister is also decent defensively. They do not play Endo nearly as much as der Kloppmeister did.

I think Werner has 2 assists one for sure

shit keeping

nil 2 Maddison

he has scored in 6 straight games now

nil 1 Brennan Johnson

Pool?? or NUFC? surely you did not mean Pool as they have a powerhouse MF (and thank fuck they did not get Martín Zubimendi)

plus this season 4 EPL goals now in 570 minutes and he scored 2 more goals last season after I posted that in April 18 EPL goals in his last 2300 league minutes
