>Under Section 18 of the UK Competition Act 1998 (and Chapter II prohibition), an entity with a dominant market position is prohibited from behaving in a way that unfairly exploits consumers or restricts competition.City are unironically going to burn the PL to the ground. Screencap this.
Strange. A British law that is fair and justified.
>thinking the Competition Act applies to a football leaguelmfao
>>157966197>The Competition Act 1998 applies to UK football leagues, regulating commercial arrangements, collective selling of broadcasting rights, and governing body dominance, though specific exemptions can be granted on public policy groundsred cartel on suicide watch
>>157966211>though specific exemptions can be granted on public policy groundsI'm assuming the Premier League has one of those exemptions? Similar to Major League Baseball in the US being exempt from standard antitrust laws.
>>157966238>I'm assuming the Premier League has one of those exemptions?that's up to the million pound City lawyers to contest i'm guessing
>>157966211>commercial arrangements, collective selling of broadcasting rights, and governing body dominanceSo literally nothing applicable.
They could only use this to delay the sanctions for a couple years at most and argue that the punishment should be moe lenient. It wouldn't get them out of the shit they have done like the sham contracts. No matter what they do they're vetting punished. Thinking they can turn this around and sue the PL instead is pure fantasy
case closed, city won
RINGRINGfor the gay bottom Nafri on grindr
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mra-CG-OVV4man city is nowhere near to be sentenced anything as they will have general competition law for their side and premlier league will likely lose in the courtthis is also good for teams like newcastle and aston villa as after this case they can start spending money
>>157966630He answered immediately
>>157966661would be glorious if uae and saudi teamed up to collectively sue the pl because of ffp. together with the rest of the non red cartel clubs
>>157965789you fucking idiot. "Restricts competition" means muscling out other equivalent businesses, i.e., other companies that want to run football leagues in competition with the Premier League. This is antitrust law, it doesn't have anything to do with how sports leagues choose to internally govern themselves.
>>157966967calm down rajesh. now is not the time for cope.that comes later.
>>157967060The only one coping is you. Neither you nor the equally asshurt Finn customer understand this law.

I'm giddy cause I hate arabs. Don't even care about footy that much. Can anyone relate?

>>157965789English league after implosion of PL and the bubble who sustains the clubs
>>157967243Absolutely. I went from following football slavishly to barely watching a single game in 15 years, so this is the most exciting football news in forever. I also hate arabs more than anything else.
