Manchester City went head-to-head with the Premier League over APT rules, with a decision now reached.
A decision has been reached on APT rule amendments after Manchester City challenged the Premier League.
In June City launched unprecedented legal action against the Premier League in a bid to stop Associated Party Transaction rules which were brought in back in 2021.
The club claimed that rules set to be introduced in January are “unlawful” and submitted 165-page legal document ahead of a legal hearing where City achieved some success and were victorious in seven of their key arguments.
In order for the rules to be updated, 14 of the 20 Premier League clubs needed to be in favour of the proposed changes.
However, Martyn Ziegler of The Times has reported that City were not successful and that the amendments have been approved.On Friday morning, the journalist took to X and wrote: “Breaking: Premier League clubs vote through associated party rule amendments – defeat for Manchester City.
There is no official information on how clubs voted but on Thursday The Times did report that both Wolverhampton Wanderers and Everton were set to perform a u-turn and back the Premier League after previously voting against tougher APT rules.
