Manchester City have scored a major victory in their legal challenge against the Premier League over Associated Party Transaction rules.
City took the Premier League to court to challenge the APT rules which they deemed as unfair after they were introduced when Newcastle were bought by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia.
The case was entirely separate to the 115 charges for alleged financial breaches that City face from the Premier League which is currently being heard in a London courtroom by an independent panel.
The victory in the APT case will now impact how clubs can secure sponsorships, and with it open up more avenues for generating revenue.
