The inside track on the football stories that matter
Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness has claimed a solution to the fight between Man City and the Premier League over associated party transactions rules is still a “long way” away., the 66-year-old – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – blamed the Premier League for opening up the “can of worms” in the first place.
Man City took legal action in June against the Premier League regarding the APT rules currently in place and both sides claimed a victory in the case after the arbitration panel’s decision was published on 7 October. In reality, two aspects of the rules were deemed to be unlawful while huge parts of the regulations are set to remain or become tougher.
APT rules prevent clubs from inflating sponsorship deals with companies heavily linked to their ownerships, a move Man City claimed was anti-competitive. The 20 top-flight clubs held a meeting on 22 October to discuss the next steps and the Premier League is now expected to update its proposals around rules governing commercial deals.Join the Football Insider WhatsApp channel to get all our exclusives and the breaking transfer news FIRST.“We’re still a long way from the whole associated party transaction situation being ruled on, in my opinion.
