compo 7,609 Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 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’. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first goal from Mitoma is goal of the season - absolutely world class. And well done both the player and the club for rejecting 70M in the transfer window. Didnt see that hammering coming at all, I watched most of the game and Chelsea were so poor and out played. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 1,110 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 City back in the top 4 and I expect them to stay there and eventually get 3rd. There are just grounds teams never turn up and Newcastle cant show up at the Etihad. Bournemouth in 5th is unreal, and as it stands in a Champions League place. West Ham - disaster. The PE teacher is off to a slow start. The manager they should have went for was in the opposite dugout. Everton - What a transformation Moyes has done, they are now going for top 10. Arsenal - cant run the rest of the season hoping midfielders will bail them out like that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool v Wolves isnt a great game to be part of a Super Sunday double, fair enough if it was at Molineux but this should be a routine comfortable home win. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
