Manchester City is awaiting a ruling on their legal action against the Premier League, expected to come this week according to the UK Telegraph.
The club has claimed discrimination over the league’s Associated Party Transaction (APT) rules, which were implemented to prevent clubs from manipulating commercial deals to stay competitive.
Manchester City argues that the APT rules requiring independent assessment of deals are unlawful, and are seeking damages from the Premier League, citing the “tyranny of the majority” they are facing.
If the Premier League loses this case, it could have significant consequences, as rival clubs fear it may weaken financial regulations and affect competitiveness in the league.
