Man City Stir Civil War Against EPL Management, Sues the Later for Discrimination by Ali: 06-04-2024, 09:13 PM |
Manchester City have launched an unprecedented legal action against the Premier League in a move that has sparked civil war in English football’s top flight. Within a 165-page legal document Manchester City argue they are victims of “discrimination”, describing the Premier League's Associated Party Transaction (APT) rules they say have been approved by their rivals to stifle their success on the pitch as a “tyranny of the majority”.
The Premier League's other 19 clubs have been invited to participate in the legal action launched by Man City, and Times Sport understands between 10 and 12 have stepped forward, providing either witness statements or a letter detailing evidence in support of the Premier League's defence. Manchester City are suing the Premier League for damages alongside their attempts to end Associated Party Transaction rules, which they claim are unlawful. City also argue the system of requiring at least 14 clubs, or two-thirds of those who vote, to implement rule changes gives the majority unacceptable levels of control. Manchester City accuse rival Premier League clubs of “discrimination against Gulf ownership”, citing the comments of one particular senior club executive. Man City also argue sponsors linked to club owners should be allowed to determine how much they want to pay. If City are successful in their claim — and some rival clubs fear they will be — it could enable the richest clubs to value their sponsorship deals without independent assessment for the league, vastly boosting the amount of money they can raise and therefore giving them far greater sums to spend on players. |
