Premier League clubs to hold 'emergency meeting' to discuss Man City after champions claim victory over top-flight in legal case

Premier League

Tottenham

<p>City had been prevented from agreeing lucrative sponsorship deals with club-associated companies by the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-legal-action-premier-league-efl-900m-funding-deal-explained/blt6acba9232e3c4ced" target="_blank">Associated Party Transaction (APT) rules</a>, which were put into practice by the Premier League back in December 2021 after Newcastle's takeover by a Saudi-led consortium. However, a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/how-man-city-claimed-landmark-victory-over-premier-league-tussle-sponsorship-rules-explained/bltaeb66a9d32a0b4c4#cs8f7b1ad8e272bb7c" target="_blank">judgement on Monday has declared the APT rules to be unlawful</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The ruling could have huge ramifications for the 19 other Premier League clubs, who are planning to hold an emergency meeting next week to discuss City's legal win, according to <a href="https://www.itv.com/news/2024-10-07/premier-league-calls-meeting-as-city-claim-victory-after-landmark-ruling" target="_blank">ITV</a> and <a href="https://x.com/SkySportsNews/status/1843357444472217666" target="_blank">Sky Sports</a>. The reason why the APT rules were deemed unlawful is because they failed to take into consideration the interest-free loans that shareholders lend to clubs, a point that was argued by City's lawyers. The ITV report further claims that the English top-flight clubs currently enjoy £1.5 billion of these shareholder loans.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>At the time of implementing the APT rules, the Premier League had backing from clubs like Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, West Ham United, Brentford, Bournemouth, Fulham, and Wolverhampton Wanderers.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The English top-flight will get back underway after the international break on October 19, as Tottenham Hotspur host West Ham in the opening match of gameweek eight.</p>
