Manchester City were successful in challenging the legality of Associated Party Transaction rules brought in by the Premier League
Manchester City have won a huge battle against the Premier League after an independent panel deemed both current and original Associated Party Transaction rules to be unlawful.
Nine Premier League clubs showed their support towards the Premier League by giving evidence that supported the league's position. Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham, Arsenal, West Ham, Brentford, Bournemouth, Fulham and Wolves backed the top-flight.Bruna Reis While there is no doubt this is a huge win for Manchester City, the verdict is damning for the Premier League.
The case is bound to bring about changes and possibly a loosening of the rules, which will probably earn mixed verdicts from Premier League clubs. But what it highlights is the need for a complete overhaul of the financial rules that are currently in place. Though it is an entirely separate case, the ongoing legal battle over financial charges may end up being impacted with the Premier League's credibility in question especially after Leicester City proved their own innocence surrounding the alleged breaking of profit and sustainability rules.
Claiming victory over the league despite support from the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United for their stance will only further fuel the ill-feeling between the clubs. Contrastingly, the willingness of Chelsea, Everton and Newcastle United to act as witnesses for City clearly shows it is not a case of them against the other 19 clubs, at least in this regard.
