While that case is currently going on, another matter appears to have been concluded.
Associated party transaction rules by the Premier League, intended to prevent teams from inflating sponsorships, are also being challenged.

Per The Express, many Premier League clubs are supportive of City’s stance, given their own desire to bring in money through sponsors that may be related to their owners.
