What happened? I'd tell you to become a Barcelona fan but I'm seriously worried you'd have a stroke with Real's La Liga reffing
Paris FC is there for you. Insane academy but now has the means to keep their players after they turn 16.
Should play L1 next year, great city, rivalry with PSG (literally 50 meters between the two stadiums). Klopp advices. And money to spend if needed.

The independent panel ruled that the PL APT transactions from 2021-2024 were invalid.What happened? I'd tell you to become a Barcelona fan but I'm seriously worried you'd have a stroke with Real's La Liga reffing
Previously they had ruled that 3 parts of them were invalid. This was the second half of that to determine if those pieces could be severed from the overall rules or if they couldn't be and thus the overall rules were invalid.
They just ruled that the parts couldn't be severed so the rules were totally invalid.
Theoretically this opens the door for compensation to be paid to any team that had a deal rejected or could reasonably show they were competitively harmed by not pursuing an APT deal during that window. Also City can press for their legal fees back which are millions, thus costing the PL even more.
City is also alleging the rules that were updated in 2024 (and are currently active) are also invalid. If the panel rules they are, then theoretically there would be no APT rules at all and teams like City or Newcastle could just sign a self-sponsorship for a billion dollars a year and it would be perfectly legitimate income as far as PSR is concerned.
This is likely what their giant spending spree is partly about, they knew this was coming and thus PSR is meaningless for them for a bit since they can basically back book hundreds of millions of income to offset anything.
This isn't related to the 115 charges they're facing, but obviously being able to spend unlimited cash this summer would be huge for them if a transfer ban might be coming in the future as a result of that.
Can't the Premier League kick them out for going to a non sports court?
Insane corruption. If I leave EPL, then I will root for Fiorentina.
Can EPL call for a retrial?

Not sure, although the media I’ve seen talking about it haven’t mentioned an appeal so I’d guess either it’s not possible or it wouldn’t have much chance of success.
