Premier League clubs have narrowly voted to approve tougher new rules on associated party deals, including sponsorship and player transfers, with a count of 12 votes for, 6 against, and 2 abstentions from Crystal Palace and Aston Villa. Manchester City, who are currently in a strong position in the Premier League, is believed to be the club that has warned the Premier League of a potential legal challenge regarding these new rules. The legal threat is reportedly in relation to the old rules, not the ones just passed. This comes as Manchester City prepares for their next game against Everton, who have been charged with breaching financial rules twice since November, and as the club continues to be a dominant force in English football. Meanwhile, Chelsea awaits a huge FFP update, and Manchester City's manager Pep Guardiola has dismissed the possibility of achieving a treble this season.
