Manchester City launch legal action against Premier League over sponsorship rules
City want to end associated party transaction rulesClub also challenging way decisions taken by league
Manchester City have launched a full legal assault against the Premier League, with the four-in-a-row champions challenging everything from sponsorship rules to the means by which decisions are taken by the competition.
A case has been brought by City against the league and, according to the Times, an independent tribunal has been convened for next week to hear it. The tribunal is set to last two weeks and comes as both sides are preparing for November’s long-awaited hearing on City’s 115 charges of alleged rule-breaking related to financial fair play.
