This could be a financial problem for the Premier League depending on whether City pursue a claim - which they have indicated they will - and what the size of it is. It is this which forms the basis of City saying the Premier League has "violated UK competition law". In order to change the rules, the Premier League will need 14 clubs to vote in favour. It is also the second time in just over a month that issues with wording within Premier League regulations have been highlighted after Leicester had their financial regulations breach charge thrown out. The Premier League feels it is OK after this latest decision because of the number of allegations dismissed but it remains to be seen whether their calm reaction is justified.
