Pep Guardiola may stay at Manchester City longer should the club be found guilty of the 115 charges they face, according to reports. The Spaniard is out of contract at the Etihad next summer and he has so far remained coy about whether he would be willing to sign an extension.

The APT dispute between Manchester City and the Premier League has reached a verdict but a far bigger case continues

Manchester City have released a statement claiming victory against the Premier League following their legal case against Associated Party Transaction (APT) rules. An independent tribunal has found that Premier League rules were unlawful regarding ATP regulations.

The ruling over APT is separate from the case over 115 breaches of the PL's financial rules which is still pending

A decision about rules that left both sides claiming victory revealed the broken reality of the world’s richest competition.

The Premier League has postponed a key meeting of its clubs - originally scheduled for Thursday - that was intended to decide how to respond to last week's verdict in the legal battle with Manchester City over rules governing commercial deals.

Premier League officials are working on a redrafted version of the laws following the results of Manchester City’s legal dispute.

Back in June, Manchester City took the Premier League to independent arbitration, claiming that the existing associated party transaction rules (APT) were unfair. This is a separate case to the 115 charges hanging over City — but could have important ramifications for its parent issue.
