The Premier League are reportedly facing a bill of more than £20million as a result of losing the first part of its dispute with Manchester City over sponsorship rules.
In February, the Premier League champions scored a huge victory in the long-running battle with the Premier League over financial rules.
A tribunal ruled that sponsorship rules enforced by the league between 2021 and 2024 — brought in after the Saudi takeover of Newcastle to ensure commercial deals with companies linked to clubs' ownership were at a fair market value — were 'void and unenforceable'.
Mail Sport reported on the day of the verdict that City were expected to seek the £10m they spent on legal costs from the Premier League.
