ED002,
I've read a few articles claiming the SJR will hire a lawyer to appeal the decision to the CAS.
Is there any truth in this?
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Manchester United are looking to CAS to overturn part of the rules.}

Hi Ed - is there any precedence to overturning the rules?
{Ed002's Note - They will argue on two points but I doubt it will go anywhere. It would not be a problem if they were in different tournaments.}

Thanks ED002.

Thanks Ed. Was this not anticipated when SJR took over control of the football side? Bit of a massive oversight if that’s the case as he has been promising everyone who would listen that him having control over two clubs isn’t an issue. Also, how do the RedBull and City groups do it?
{Ed002's Note - It is to do with the structure of the ownership - Manchester United relied on being less than 30% and a one year period to sort matters out - which has been granted. Red Bull have already resolved issues. Manchester City are laregely in the same position with one player - but they have a complicated situation which may help them out.}

Teams can loan players and play against each other in the same competition, can they not loan with the option to buy with a significant loan fee with the expectation that we might be in different competitions next season
Or would that be classed as bending the rules sort of?
Maybe a way of getting around the blocking of a transfer.

Thanks Ed. Nice one.
