The Premier League has been canvassing clubs over changing aspects of the associated party transaction rules found to be unlawful
Following the first full top-flight meeting since Manchester City's legal challenge outcome was made public, the Premier League will send updated rule change proposals to Nottingham Forest and the rest of the Premier League.
City argued this rendered all APT rules void and accused the Premier League of misleading the other 19 clubs in its initial interpretation of the panel judgement. The league has since sought clarification from the panel over the judgement's implications and has been canvassing clubs about changing the aspects of the rules found to be unlawful or unfair.
After receiving feedback at the meeting, the league will now make further updates to the proposals and distribute them again to clubs. It's understood that the feedback was more about amendments rather than scrapping the proposals entirely. In addition to the inclusion of shareholder loans, the panel also said it was procedurally unfair that City had been unable to comment on comparison data used by the Premier League board before it made a decision on whether a commercial deal was for fair market value, so the new rules are expected to afford clubs that right at an earlier stage. Some rule amendments made in February this year are also set to be reversed.
