“The tribunal has declared the APT rules to be unlawful. MCFC’s position is that this means that all of the APT rules are void, and have been since 2021.”
“While it is true that MCFC did not succeed with every point that it ran in its legal challenge, the club did not need to prove that the APT rules are unlawful for lots of different reasons,” Cliff wrote. “It is enough that they are unlawful for one reason. In the event, the tribunal found the APT rules are unlawful for three different sets of reasons.”

It’s been revealing which media outlets are shilling for the Cartel* with how they are choosing to report this.
*City are of course Schrodinger’s member of the cartel in that they’re both part of it and the exception
This reads as bluster to me. The ruling quite clearly states that APT is necessary to ensure competitive balance in the league and the unlawful bits are mostly just quibbles that the PL will say that they can iron out.
Worth remembering that City aren’t primarily raising this because they want APT struck off, they just want to try and say that the PL are biased against them and racist against gulf states so that they can use it in the subsequent 115+ charges and get as many thrown out without addressing them.
