Manchester City in conflict with the Premier League

On Tuesday, Manchester City launched legal action against the Premier League. The objective of the reigning English champion is to bring down the rules in force concerning the limits of the amounts paid by companies linked to the owners of the clubs in sponsorship. The hearing is expected to last two weeks indicates The Times. The other teams are worried about this agreement, which could unbalance the championship. More than ten clubs sent letters to defend the interests of the Premier League.

This complaint also affects the lower divisions, who need funds from the Premier League to survive. EFL clubs are hoping to receive an extra £150m per season over six years as part of the ‘New Deal For Football’, but that deal is being undermined by City’s complaint. Ten Premier League clubs are opposed to this agreement, because they would need the money to compete with City.
