City legal action & 115 charges position offers stark indicator amid expert view

Manchester City's twin pronged fight with the Premier League remains ongoing as the club await a date on their 115 charges case, having also taken on the top flight to contest Associated Party Transaction rules.

This week two experts concluded that a settlement before the hearing seems highly unlikely. Indeed City's position of fighting their corner marries with their approach of taking on the Premier League over the APT rule. The Manchester Evening News has rounded up expert and professional comments on the situation.ALSO READ: New City 115 charges prediction emerges as experts agree on outcome

Meanwhile, Dan Chapman, head of employment and sports at Leathes Prior suggested that no punishment should be ruled out. The solicitor said: "Considerable uncertainty remains on the current status of the Premier League proceedings against Manchester City. On the APT legal action Football finance expert Kieran Maguire on BBC Sounds - City feel rules aren't thought through and want to protect their advantage

"You would expect every team around the table to be trying to stop City because they've won six out of seven . It's perfectly legitimate to try and stymie City's success. The rules haven't really worked at all for City but they've just won their fourth title on the bounce so nobody could suggest the rules have stymied City but they do stymie Newcastle so the rules are working. It's a surprise that City are leading it and not Newcastle.

"This is a very narrow argument about how commercial agreements between a linked party to a club should be valued. In any other context apart from football, nobody would care less about this but we say Manchester City and Premier League and everybody is interested.
