Man City accuse Premier League of 'misleading' clubs

Manchester City have accused the Premier League of being "misleading" over the verdict in its landmark legal case on rules over commercial deals.

City have written to top-flight clubs criticising the league's summary of the case verdict, saying it contains "several inaccuracies".

The letter to the 19 clubs and the league, seen by the BBC, was sent by City’s general counsel Simon Cliff on Monday.

City, who are owned by the Abu Dhabi-backed City Football Group, had some complaints upheld, with two aspects of the associated party transaction (APT) rules deemed unlawful by a tribunal.
