Clubs providing support to the Premier League in its legal dispute and court case involving the Premier League champions Man City have been revealed.

Reports now indicate that a total of six Premier League clubs have been identified as supporting the premier league in its latest legal dispute with Manchester City.

Shortly after securing their fourth consecutive league title, City has initiated a new legal challenge against the Premier League’s associated party transaction (APT) rules, set to begin on June 10, 2024.

What is the Associated Party Transaction (ATP) Rule about?

The APT rules are intended to prevent clubs from engaging in inflated sponsorship deals with companies closely tied to their owners.

These rules mandate that such sponsorships, like Etihad Airways and Newcastle United’s sponsor SELA, must undergo fair market value assessments.

The regulations were introduced in 2021 following Newcastle’s acquisition by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, as there were concerns about potential inflated sponsorship deals.

Manchester City argues that these rules violate UK competition law and is also suing the Premier League for revenue losses they attribute to the APT rules.

According to the Daily Mail, 10 to 12 clubs have provided information supporting the Premier League and the APT rules, including Manchester United, Arsenal, Fulham, Wolves, Brighton, and Tottenham. Some clubs have given witness statements, while others have submitted letters.

Reports indicate that clubs like, Newcastle, Chelsea, and Aston Villa are expected to support City’s case, as they have their own issues with the sponsorship and investment restrictions. City claims the rules, which required approval from at least 14 of the 20 Premier League clubs, were imposed by a ‘tyranny of the majority’ and allege discrimination against clubs with Middle Eastern owners.
