Premier League in CRISIS as they lose legal battle with Manchester City over ‘unlawful’ sponsorship rules – and the verdict could have serious consequences for all clubs
The Premier League has suffered a significant setback after a tribunal deemed its sponsorship rules – which operated for almost three years – null and void.
In a bombshell verdict – that could now trigger a series of giant compensation claims and plunge the competition into crisis – an independent panel has sided with champions Manchester City and deemed that the league’s Associated Party Transaction (APT) regulations, which ran from December 2021 to November 2024, were unlawful in their entirety.
