Manchester City has accused the Premier League of favoring certain clubs, specifically Arsenal, through amended APT rules that permitted unscrutinized owner loans. They challenged these rules in court after facing blocks on sponsorship agreements. A tribunal ruled some arguments were valid, declaring the APT rules void and unenforceable. City argues that these amendments, built on an already void foundation, are thus themselves void, emphasizing that the scrutiny on shareholder loans is less stringent compared to other commercial transactions, allowing clubs to circumvent profit regulations.
Manchester City has taken the Premier League to court over APT rules, accusing them of favouring certain clubs receiving unscrutinised loans, specifically naming Arsenal.
The Premier League's APT regulations, introduced in 2021, aimed to ensure commercial deals were at fair market value, yet City claims they allow unfair advantages.
