Manchester City chairman vows to fight Premier League charges youtu.be/FCyVZq2MlIg?si=_opO… via @YouTube
An excellent and thought-provoking piece from @slbsn - IMO, this is just the latest example of the @premierleague losing its appetite to properly prosecute breaches of the Rules following the bruising battles with LCFC, EFC and NFFC, media criticism and losing the fight on IREF.

What a great idea ☀️
Ian Holloway's skin cancer diagnosis and Hannah Penn's experience with melanoma helped inspire the addition of a colour-changing UV logo on Swindon Town’s training kit – warning players when the sun's rays are strong.

There are several unanswered questions about Arsenal's handling of the Thomas Partey allegations.
Who knew what? When did they know? Why did they decide to keep playing him?

As predicted, the melodrama continues… round 2 and, in essence, the question is now all about whether the new shareholder loan rules must apply retrospectively to be effective. My gut is that MCFC may just about win this latest legal battle but will ultimately lose the war.
Top sports lawyer @Si_Leaf warned there would be a round two in the Premier League’s ATP battle with Man City back in October - and that it would probably revolve around the issue of retrospective action mirror.co.uk/sport/football/…

Both Manchester City & the Premier League claimed victory in their APT legal case - but what do the experts think?
We asked four lawyers: Who 'won'? Can rules be changed quickly? Will the club sue? How will '115 charges' be affected?

This decision must act as a wake up call to sporting rule makers and confirms that poorly drafted rules are to be interpreted using a “literal” rather than “purposive” approach. Expect significant PSR updates in the future.
