Read our privacy policy Manchester City have decided to sue the Premier League in an ‘unprecedented’ legal battle. There will be a two-week private arbitration hearing starting on Monday, the Times has reported, with City attempting to end the league’s Associated Party Transaction rules and seek damages from the Premier League. City are involved in another legal battle, with a separate hearing due to take place in November surrounding the club’s alleged 115 breaches of the Premier League’s regulations and Financial Fair Play rules. These include a failure to provide accurate financial information and accurate financial reports for player and manager compensation between the 2009-10 and 2017-18 seasons, and breaches of the Premier League and Uefa’s financial rules.
