Manchester City launch a fresh legal challenge against the Premier League over new rules governing sponsorship deals.
Manchester City has initiated a new legal challenge against the Premier League, focusing on the league's Associated Party Transaction (APT) rules. These rules are designed to ensure that commercial deals with companies linked to club owners are independently assessed for fair market value. The club argues that these regulations are unlawful and seeks to have them overturned. This legal action follows their previous successful challenge against the Premier League's rules on transactions with companies linked to the same ownership, which were deemed to be in breach of competition law. The current dispute will be heard in a two-week arbitration starting next week, highlighting ongoing tensions between Manchester City and the Premier League regarding financial regulations.
