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. After proposed deals with Etihad Airways and First Abu Dhabi Bank were blocked in 2023, City took the Premier League to court, effectively declaring war. They claimed that the league’s APT rules, around commercial deals clubs do with parties linked to them, were unlawful. In September last year, a tribunal agreed with City, highlighting three elements which it deemed unlawful. One was the fact that shareholder loans – where parties with stakes in clubs such as Arsenal and Liverpooloften lend money at low or no interest – were not subject to the same fair market value tests included in the APT rules. At the time, a row erupted between City and the Premier League, with the latter claiming that a number of tweaks to the rules would suffice. Chief executive Richard Masters claimed the tribunal had actually ‘endorsed’ the APT rules, and added it had only found ‘certain discrete elements…that need to be amended’.

Should win but with this lot i don't know

Let's hope they're is no hangover from Sunday's abysmal display and we can go out and play some attractive football to please the long suffering followers who spend their money following the team Mon the Gers.

We had this bloke in the legion cub doing an exhibition of snooker and he was a complete gentleman so quiet and polite not the way the media painted him a lovely man and great snooker player one who made the game a success on television .

At one time Brighton wouldn’t have got a look in against a top side like Chelsea but that’s all changed Brighton 7/4 Draw 12/5 Chelsea 5/4 not so long ago you’d have got something like 11/2 for Brighton changed days

You’re taking it to far with bonuses 😅 you only get a bonus when you win something and we won’t be paying any this year or probably the next few years

The gunners can’t afford any slip ups

Heart of Midlothian 0….Glasgow Rangers 2 FGS……Dessers .

For anyone who believes in miracles you can get 50/1 for Rangers to win the league .

I'd love to know the Rangers style

Could both managers be out of a job soon

There's no domestic trophy we can win so nothing lose don't worry we'll get our second place in the league

Think the best match in this weeks program cold be Friday's Brighton v Chelsea

It's more about getting a coach/manager who can get the best out of his player's you watch some of them playing for us and it's plain to see that a lot of them need a good hard kick up the arse we also need a coach who's not slow in giving the youth player's a chance i don't mean the odd start or bringing them on for 15 minutes give them a run of games a dozen or so to see first hand how they cope

It's now that bad that the odious little nationalist James Dornan is mocking us a ghastly little creature .

They carry the same luck as the scousers it’s not over yet

Soon be time to send for big Sam at least he’d sort out the Tiller girls that pose as our defenders 😆 SEND FOR SAM

An excellent game last night at Goodison

On our finances it will probably be Derek McInnes that will be our next manager that’s we’re we are at I doubt any coach who wishes to keep his reputation wouldn’t accept the job of trying to make a team out of what in my opinion is mostly a bunch of gutless players

The last ever derby at Goodison I've done a mad double tonight £20 on Everton @5/1 Celtic @11/2

One way of looking at our place in football now is this tonight the other mob play the germans 40 plus million will be going to the east end and if they beat the Germans it might be 54 million we cant compete against that and we are never going to catch up with them either so unless some rich halfwit with more money than sense this is the way it's going to remain regardless of who's manager who we have playing or who's running the club if anyone can tell me how we can compete with them let's hear it .

Wishful thinking

Can Celtic stick it up the Huns tonight bookies don’t think so giving you odds of 11/2 with the Huns at 3/10

City fans are like Rangers fans wishing the season was over
