Lawyers for Manchester City and the Premier League have battled it out over changes to sponsorship rules that may or may not be legal
Manchester City are arguing against 'truly unusual' measures installed by the Premier League in their latest battle over Associated Party Transaction rules.
A two-week hearing has just occurred in private, and had details of the case not been leaked to The Times a few weeks ago would never have been known about in the first place. While it is not clear what exact aspects City are challenging, the fact that stricter regulations were enforced in February 2024 would suggest that these have been questioned.
"The club has to make it as well but they want the other side to make it as well and that is something City have said it's a step too far. That's the way you should look at it. City started this process when the original rules came in in 2021 around APT and raised the flag they weren't happy with them and suggested they may be subject to challenge down the road.
