Manchester City has launched a new legal proceedings against the Premier League, as the Champions Challenge Associate Party transactions (ATP) have a second principle.
This news comes when the two parties are in the preliminary challenge dispute, which is controlled by the rules of how much money can be generated by sponsorship by club -owned companies.
The city is also awaiting a decision, expected in the spring, in connection with 130 charges against them for alleged violations of the Premier League rules. They have denied wrongdoing.
The city has written to the league that a new system of APT rules agreed by clubs before Christmas has been demanded. These changes were made in response to a former mediation brought by the city, in which aspects of the APT rules are illegal.
In a letter sent to the clubs on Thursday, the League’s chief executive, Richard Masters, confirmed the mediation request. He wrote, “On January 20, 2025, Manchester City FC launched more mediation to challenge the APT rules.” “As you will see, the new challenge is related to the amendment of the APT rules that clubs approved at a meeting of shareholders on November 22, 2024. Manchester City FC has tried a statement that clubs in November The amendments approved by (and the current rules of the current APT) are illegal and invalid.
He said that the Premier League is fully intact on the idea that the amendments approved in November were lawful and APT rules comply with all the requirements of the competitive law. We consider that the new mediation should be resolved as soon as possible and it has been agreed that the same tribunal should be appointed to hear the new case. The parties are currently similar in relation to more directions.
“APT rules are in full force and influence and clubs need to comply with all aspects of the system.”
City, Austin Villa, New Castle and Nottingham Fort voted in November against the new rules and avoided Chelsea. The city wrote to the clubs before the vote that the process was very quick and that the villa was warned in a letter of further legal action from the city.
“It is now clear that any vote (if approved) will result in a defense associated with further legalism by Manchester City FC and through the EPL (English Premier League). , Which faces more expenses and unnecessary disturbances and devotion to this problem.
