Manchester City call the Premier League's proposed changes to rules governing commercial deals 'unlawful' in a letter to other top-flight clubs.
Manchester City have written to the 19 other top-flight clubs expressing their "fundamental concern" over what they claim are "unlawful" amendments that the Premier League has proposed to rules governing commercial deals.
The latest development follows correspondence the Premier League sent to City on Thursday, stating it "rejects in the strongest possible terms the repeated and baseless assertions" the club had made against it over the case, and laying out its position.In October, both sides claimed victory after the decision of an arbitration panel over APTs, which seek to ensure sponsorships with companies linked to clubs' owners represent fair market value, and are not artificially inflated.
The league said it has "acted fairly, transparently and responsibly in circulating considered proposals for consultation in a prompt manner". Referring to a suggestion by City’s lawyers that it may seek an injunction, the Premier League stated "such threats are meritless, and advanced without any attempt to articulate a credible ground on which MCFC could seek to restrain the consultation process".
"It is important that a new regime is grounded in rules that are fair, considered and legal," said Cliff.
