The Premier League's rules require any club, its players, manager or any 'senior official' to run dealings with 'associated parties' past them. 'Associated parties'' are companies or people who have a significant interest in the relevant club, financially or otherwise

This looks like a pre-emptive move.

It lends weight to the City case against APT rules. The ruling on Associate party transactions is due any day now. So the Prem might well know the rule is illegal which means Chelsea's sale of assets to an 'Associated Party' is lawful and they can't be sanctioned for that transaction.

Bouley has just been very American about things and bullishly aggressive in his business dealings.

We've been more conservative, discreet about things which aligns with us the 'most vilified' club and starting from a long way back financially.

However, this bodes well for a positive verdict for city v Prem on APT.

It will allow PiF companies, Aramco etc to invest in NUFC without restriction.
