Premier League claim victory in major APT vote
Premier League clubs have approved changes to the competition’s Associated Party Transaction (APT) rules despite the challenge of Manchester City.
There was confusion last month when both Man City and Prem chiefs claimed victory after an arbitration panel found that some elements of the league’s APT rules were unlawful.
But the Premier League secured the minimum 14 votes it needed from member clubs to pass the amendments this week.
Notably Man City, Aston Villa, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest are understood to have voted against them.
Sky Sports has revealed Arsenal, Bournemouth, Brentford, Fulham, Liverpool, Manchester United, Wolves and West Ham were eight clubs who supported the league with evidence during the summer’s arbitration.
Premier League bosses asked clubs to vote on changes it believes will make the rules lawful and compliant with UK competition law.
That included adding shareholder loans to the fair market value (FMV) assessment, the removal of some of the amendments made to APT rules earlier this year and changes to how clubs access the league’s databank, which is used to make FMV decisions.
The Hammers sided with the league over their old friends.
Now West Ham have explained why they went against Man City in the major Premier League vote.
A spokesman for West Ham’s board has exclusively explained the club’s position after the vote.
