Premier League clubs are in a state of urgency as they prepare for a crucial vote regarding changes to the league's rulebook, particularly concerning associated party transactions (APTs). This vote is set to take place at a shareholders' meeting in central London on Friday. The proposed amendments aim to clarify the regulations surrounding income generated from sources linked to club ownership. While the changes are considered modest and unlikely to have a significant impact on the competition itself, they could have far-reaching implications for the ongoing tensions between the Premier League and Manchester City, the league's dominant team. Manchester City has publicly expressed its opposition to the proposed rule changes, which adds an element of uncertainty to the voting process. A two-thirds majority is required for the amendments to pass, and league officials are working diligently to secure the necessary support from other clubs ahead of the meeting.
