Manchester City vs Premier League: APT fight not settled, procedures continue
The Premier League and City haven’t issued a joint wrap-up: the APT dispute remains and the club is expected to appeal.
Manchester City’s clash with the Premier League over associated party transaction (APT) rules is still ongoing after no fresh joint statement appeared as expected.
The wider context is the long-running fight between the parties about how top clubs can structure sponsorship deals with companies linked to ownership. The dispute was described as separate from the Premier League’s 134 charges.
Earlier, a joint message did mark progress: “The Premier League and Manchester City FC have reached a settlement… and as a result have agreed to terminate the proceedings.” However, today’s situation looks different, with the process continuing and an appeal expected from the club, according to The Guardian.
