[Matt Lawton] Manchester City appear to have secured a potentially significant victory in their legal battle with the Premier League after a vote on APT rule amendments was dropped from today’s meeting. Points to wider implications for the rules.
I don’t what meeting they’re referring to, what APT stands for, or what rule amendments they’re talking about, but this is bullshit and I am outraged
Going as expected then.
So this begs the real question… how many points get deducted from Everton due to this rule amendment?
Shocked. Stunned. Flabbergasted. Can’t believe my eyes. Who could have seen this coming?
It would be surprising if they actually get any punishment at all. They just pay off whoever they need to.

FYI this is separate to the 115 charges case.
Basically Man City said clubs should be allowed to earn money via sponsorship through companies which are under the same ownership as the club itself. Looks like they’re getting their way.
So if the owner of a club also owns an airline (for example) then that airline can sponsor that club for an insane amount of money, aiding FFP, and it will be allowed. Previously the FA had to agree to the amount coming in.
Pretends to be shocked
Who were the voters here? Surely Michael Oliver, another guy looking similar to Pep Guardiola? /s
lmao if true. just find another league to follow
What a shock (not)
I think they’ll get a small fine and the PL will celebrate at their success
Even when they mentioned the cause of the PL legal bills
Told you. Nothing is gonna happen
Who could have ever seen this coming…
Pretend to be shocked
Things like this make you realise how little people know what they’re taking/complaining about online.
This isn’t the 115 charges, it’s another legal battle.
If this does turn out to be true and Man City have secured a victory here, kiss what little competitiveness that’s left in the prem goodbye. Allowing state owned clubs has now potentially begun the demise of this league…..another Ligue 1 incoming. Maybe a government appointed regulator is the last hope? Because Richard Masters and crew are running the league into the ground.
Not surprised at all.
Everton and Nottingham Forest didn’t suffer for this you know.
Should of just stuck with the super league with the added additions of promotion and relegation, they’d of actually made financial rules to keep PSG, City and Newcastle in check.
gg ez
Wow who could possibly have saw the cheats getting away with it
Can we go back to talking about football now please
*Surprised Pikachu*
As a Newcastle fan will believe it when I see it.
Just because they cancel the vote doesn’t mean they won’t make amendments and bring it back.
Man City are not our friends and ultimately they will sell us under the table if it benefits them.
If the premier league allow Man City a bye during the years they’ve breached and agree to new rules do I really think those new rules will be allowed to benefit us?
Heck do I!
Pl about to lose alot of fans
I would need to see the official ruling before making a judgement.
maybe the PL didnt want to vote on a law that is still in contention.
even if Man city win their case, they still have a lot of charges to deal with and their issue isnt the associated party rules but rather the fact they lied about who really funded their club.
as the original assumption was that City is not a state club but rather a side hobby for a billionaire.
