The Premier League has warned its clubs it will be "taking the necessary time" to decide how to respond to this week's landmark verdict in the legal battle with Manchester City over rules governing commercial deals.
In a letter sent by chief executive Richard Masters - and seen by BBC Sport - he hints at a possible delay to a key meeting to discuss the situation, advising there could be an "impact on the scheduling".
Both sides claimed victory after the decision of an arbitration panel was published on Monday following a legal challenge by City against the league's associated party transaction (APT) regulations.
