00:00They're the equivalent of being 3-0 down
00:02In the 92nd minute of a match
00:03We're not going to have a retrial
00:05As far as the Premier League commission is concerned
00:08It could be that
00:10Manchester City
00:12If their views are going to be
00:14Rejected then they're going to
00:16Have to go and seek some alternative
00:18First of all from their pronouncements
00:20They're attacking the integrity of the
00:22Premier League by saying
00:24It's a conspiracy
00:26Effectively saying that other clubs are ganging up
00:28On their mother clubs are jealous of their wealth
00:30And so on
00:31And then could they potentially take that
00:34To the civic courts
00:35I spoke to one or two sports lawyers
00:37And they said
00:39Possible
00:40But they're not convinced that it would work
00:44And they think that the chances are remote
00:46And that the Premier League
00:49Constitution itself
00:50Makes that very difficult
00:52But as all lawyers will tell you
00:54Very difficult, it's not the same as
00:56Impossible
00:59They're the equivalent of being
01:013-0 down in the 92nd minute of a match
01:04But that's not the same as
01:06Losing the match
01:071-0 down in the 92nd minute of a row
