This stinks of behind the scenes payoffs .......

Manchester City and the Premier League have reached a settlement in their dispute over the rules that govern commercial deals.

City have accepted the rules governing associated party transactions (APT) are valid and binding.

The club had mounted a legal challenge against the Premier League, claiming new rules were "unlawful".

"Neither the Premier League nor the club will be making any further comment about the matter," a joint statement said.

Last year, an independent arbitration panel found against aspects of the league's APT regulations after a lawsuit instigated by the club.

The rules were formed by the Premier League to prevent clubs from profiting from commercial deals with companies linked to their owners that are deemed above "fair market value".

Sooooo

He’s a long time friend of the Forest owner ..,

Makes me wonder if the owner was gently forcing the manager out maybe hoping he’s quit and then wouldn’t have to sack him and pay him off ??

Ange could do well with forest
They have a half decent squad plus Gibbs White and Ange actually showed a different side to his tactics in those last 4 European games ( including the final success)

What a bizarre world that we're living in I swear to god.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football...s/czjv39870wwo

Call me a weirdo, but I will always support merit over diversity any day of the week.

Unfortunately we've never really had a society where it's judged on merit (especially in Football) but in my view the Manager/Head Coach position should be based on who is the best for the job that's available for the club, not based on race or because they're called Wayne Rooney.

And obviously I don't support Forest bringing Postecoglou in as their Manager, over a guy that gave Forest their best season since the Brian Clough era.

there is too much money involved in PL football for diversity to enter the argument when choosing a manager

I do agree with you personally.

Speaking for myself, I just want to see good Managers in Football strategically taking each other on, for all I care they could all be OAP.

I just find it concerning that the article basically just wants quotas filled instead of people that will bring a positive contribution to their clubs and the Sport itself.

The ex forest manager will easily find a job .. especially when the clubs all start sacking

Well they wouldn't be if it were a lower half Premier League side.

I wonder if he might get the West Ham job?

What a load of Bollox !

The keeper pushed everyone over from behind as far as I can see !!

Goal disallowed

I am sure VAR wasn’t intended for disallowing goals

Spurs denied a penalty ?

There was far more pulling and pushing in that than the disallowed goal !!
