APT Rules - Declared Void

[Ragatino]

Much as it's great that the ruling has been made, I'm not holding my breath over the new rules being found similarly unlawful.

The damage has been done. The rules were brought in entirely to stop us progressing. Eddie Howe hasn't been able to improve the first team directly for 3 windows and it's almost a fucking miracle that he's achieved what he has despite this.

Ez now Zipatronico!

I understand the scepticism, however, in Legal terms what Masters and his crooked band of ****sters have done is call 'Blue Penning'.

Blue penning is when amendments are made to a legal document as the basis of the document is deemed to be lawful and just need 5-10% tweeks.

With The Mail and The Times are now reporting that challenge has proven successful after an independent tribunal deemed them "void and unenforceable" the 'Blue Pen' is basically glitter on a turd.

It's not lawful in it's entirety.

As the ruling was on the old version of APT and not the amended mroe recent 16/4 voted version which stays in place for the rest of the season in accordance with "Premier League chief executive Richard Masters is said to have sent a letter to the league's clubs regarding the ruling on Friday evening."

Hence why City have launched a 2nd APT challenge which will be reviewed by the same panel of 3 who can back with this damning "void and unenforceable" verdict.

So I have no doubt that the findings will be precisely the same. "void and unenforceable"

Master and his crooks are just desperately grasping at straws to prolong City and Newcastle's ability to operate normal business practices.

You have to remember the 2 business models at play in the Prem.

1 - Ours, City etc - The owners very the club as a trophy asset. It's a vehicle, as Ashley used it to heighten brand awareness.
2 - US model - Money laundry and profit making machine with a view to moving the clubs over the States for matches in the near future.

1 is a model that just needs to break even and the value of the club for Middle East investors is the state of prestigious UK business added to their portfolio

2 is a model that seeks to suck out the brand identity from it's origins and bleed it dry on a global scale. Under this model the Prem teams will become the Harlem Globe Trotters. A bunch of pantomime footballers playing to crowds 6 time zones away so the owners can sell $15 dollar hot dogs, bring in timeouts so they can cut to ad breaks every 5 mins.

Which one do you think the Prem scum like Masters want?

It's the 2nd, it's the money.
