The Premier League 2024/25

What a piece of business Ross Barkley to Villa is for 5 mill. I hope it's true to keep off MGW.

Why 5 mill? Thought he was out of contract?

He signed a multi-year contract, Luton never disclosed the actual length

Prob had a fixed price release clause

Corberan slight favourite for Leicester job and apparently preferred option but would have to pay compo to West Brom. Cooper 2nd favourite and the free option. Not convinced he would take that, he would be better off at a high challenging Championship club.

Man City have launched some kind of legal action against the Premier League. There's a Times article about it but it's behind a paywall.

Can read this much on 12 foot ladder:

"Manchester City have launched an unprecedented legal action against the Premier League in a move that has sparked civil war in English football’s top flight.

The dispute, which has become a battle between the most powerful clubs in the country, will be settled after a two-week private arbitration hearing starting on Monday.

The outcome could dramatically alter the landscape of the professional game and have a significant impact on a separate hearing set for November into City’s 115 alleged breaches of the Premier League’s regulations and financial rules. That hearing, expected to last six weeks, could lead to massive fines for the club owners and possibly even relegation for Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering side."

Do you think people would be annoyed if he managed Leicester? Wouldn't bother me personally but I don't have any dislike towards Leicester. I guess the matches against them could be a bit painful.

This should help.

It’s the Manc Citeh lawsuit story.


Chicago: Helpful.

[Trailer Park Tom]

Let's see if Gary Neville goes off on a rant about City the c**t.

As for Steve Cooper, id have no hard feelings towards him, but id be gutted it's Leicester. Imagine the same season "he hates the Leicester" and "city ground it's always to be here". It's s bit depressing haha.

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

This Cooper to Leicester business doesn't look like a marriage made in heaven to me.

Surely if Man City were to win then PSR would have to be dropped with immediate effect?

[DR Forest]

EM mentioned that Forest hadn’t ‘dressed’ their income to avoid FFP breaches like other clubs; and they laughed when EM said he might take the PL to Court.

Funny how things turn out….

BTW, the action is all about decimating the 115 charge case.
I agree with Simon Jordan- the 115 charges are duplicates and should have been boiled down to 10 or 15 and could have been dealt with by now. Why the PL tried with 115 is either incompetence or tactical compliance in that they knew it would take a decade to run.
