A ruling on Manchester City’s legal action against the Premier League is expected this week, according to the UK Telegraph.
City launched a claim of “discrimination” against the league over Associated Party Transaction, Apt, rules.
The APT rules were put in place to stop clubs from inflating the value of commercial deals to maintain competitiveness in the top flight.
The rules stipulate that deals must be independently assessed, something City has argued is “unlawful.”
City are seeking damages from the Premier League, insisting that they are suffering from the “tyranny of the majority.”
Defeat for the Premier League in the case, could have an immense knock-on effect, with the report claiming rival clubs fear it would water down financial controls and competitiveness.
