Premier League to proceed with vote on APT rules despite Villa’s call for delay
Clubs are to vote on Friday over changes to financial rulesAston Villa followed City in wanting postponement
The Premier League has told Aston Villa it plans to press ahead with a vote to amend financial rules on Friday despite the club calling for it to be postponed.
The league has been consulting for more than a month with clubs on changes to its rules on associated party transactions (APT) after an arbitration panel found aspects of them unlawful. Clubs are to vote on those changes at a league meeting in central London on Friday, despite Manchester City, whose legal challenge to the rules led to the arbitration panel being convened, warning amendments should not be rushed through.
