Manchester City officially announced that the team won the Premier League's counter-appeal, and the adjudication panel found that the Premier League's APT rules were violated. According to The Telegraph, Chelsea, Newcastle and other teams are backing Manchester City.
According to The Telegraph, the verdict has sparked divisions among Premier League clubs, with Chelsea, Newcastle, Everton and Nottingham Forest backing Manchester City.
The relaxation of APT rules will make it easier for clubs to strike lucrative sponsorship deals with companies close to their owners. It will also be easier to buy and sell players between clubs with the same owners. Many believe the impact of this case is far greater than City's 115 breaches, as today's verdict applies to all clubs.
